I have a new Wolfgang Puck 1400 watt Induction Hob that I
am experimenting with. I'm having lots of fun and I
alternate between adjusting wattage and temperature.

I've picked up some cast iron at a thrift shop, purchased
an enameled covered cast iron square fry pan, round no
stick Sunpentown covered fry pan and a Sunpentown Stainless
Steel two handled covered pot.

Surprise, the Stainless Steel Pot does not attract a
magnet -- yet still heats. I think that mine is too thin
for some of the things I would like to use it for. I would
like a thicker bottom 18/10 Stainless piece.

Another surprise. I found that my old Revere Ware (copper
clad bottom) even with the thin copper almost worn off,
works on the induction hob. I'm going to look at thrift
stores for some more pieces.

Thanks for inquiring.

I've owned the Induction Hob unit about 2 weeks and I use it many time
during the day.

I've actually removed the front large electric coil from my stove and placed
the unit over the hole. I have limited counter top space so I find that this
works well for me there.

The temperature control ranges from 150 to 400 degrees. The wattage from 400
to 1400. You either have a choice of wattage or temperature -- not both at
the same time. Both start at the high end and by - and + buttons you can
control the setting. I think a better, and safer design, would be to start
at the low end of each range.

Of course, everything is instant. You can stop and start water boiling
instantly by the push of a button.

I like to use parchment paper cut in rounds between the glass of the unit
and the bottom of the pan -- just to protect the glass. Perhaps I don't need
to but I don't want to take the chance of scratching the glass with some old
cast iron.

Wow, Gary, that was quite an explication. Thank you very much for
taking the time to fill me in!!! I especially like that it seems to
save time and is efficient. It is also nice to know that there is no
noise problem. Fortunately, I've been collecting induction-ready
cookware for some years now in anticipation. Continued good luck an
cooking fun with your hob.

The HOB runs on 120V. It is rated at 1400 Watts so I would guess that
the amperage rating is 11.66666 amps at it's max.

Thanks Gary. I couldn't find any information on the hsn ad either way.
