I've been using a portable induction plate instead of my gas for a while now. It's really nice to use, and creates noticibly less heat around the pot, which is going to be very nice over summer.
I did have a few issues with using my cast iron frypan initially, as it would get too hot and the stove would shut down. I've put a silicone mat on the stove that goes under the pan which solved that problem, as well as protecting the stove from scratches.
I am going to look in to getting a couple of commercial portable burners instead of a full stovetop, as I do like the flexibility of being able to move everything around (plus a breakdown will only effect one burner, not everything).
I’ve been considering buying one of these too. What brand do you have, are you happy with it? I was thinking it would be useful if cooking messy stuff I could do it outside, and not have splatters all over the stove to clean up.
Mine's Panasonic. 4 years still working.
I can't remember the brand - it was just a cheap one online. I am happy with it, although the controls are a bit clunky to use (you have to repeat press to cycle through the settings) so I don't really bother with most of the settings.
