I ordered this stove by mistake but it was the best mistake I have ever made. I thought it was the electric and not the induction stove. I love my new induction stove. I had to buy new pots but still I made the best wrong choice. The stove heats the pans up much faster which cuts my cooking time in half. Water heats up in 3 mins flat. You can set the timer which keeps you from standing over your food. The stove can be locked so that makes it kid and pet safe.
