“Poor”

★★☆☆☆

After 17 months the outer casing cracked for no apparent reason. Only having used this occasionally I can only assume there is an inherent defect especially having read other reviews on the subject

It's very difficult to fry on it. Bad price/quality ratio. The only benefit is a cute design.

The Kenwood IH100 looks nice.boils water very quickly but temperature control appears lacking, it beeps too loud. It's relatively expensive, mine did cost 100 euro.

“The Kenwood IH100 is well built/packaged and looks...”

★★★☆☆

written by on 27/05/2008

The Kenwood IH100 is well built/packaged and looks good. The molded outer plastic frame is fairly rugged, and is not noticeably warmed during use.

The fan is a little noisy, however it is equivalent to the noise produced from a fan oven. Another reviewer mentioned that it beeps too often, I cannot see a problem with this;

It beeps when it is turned on.
It beeps when the pan is removed from the heat source, after about five seconds - then shuts down, however it will resume heating after it detects the pan is back on the platter.
It beeps when the pan boils dry, and then shuts down.

A good safety feature.

The interface is good and the timer works perfectly.

The main gripe is with the temperature control, as the heat source is either on or off, rather like a cheap microwave. Instead of cooking at a constant temperature on the minimum heat setting it will cook in a ten second cycle, IE 8 seconds idle and then a surge of heat for two seconds - due to the nature of induction cooking this can burn food instantly.

If you are simply boiling potatoes in a large body of water, then it will work perfectly.

Stir frying food is a complete failure as it is not quite hot enough and will randomly shut down due to overheating.

Most of the things you cook, unless they are immersed in water, will burn due to the pulse heating cycle, even when cooked on minimum. I tried to roast some sesame seeds in a wok, nothing happened for a few seconds, then they suddenly burnt. Tomato based dishes are often burnt at the bottom of the pan.

After 10 days of using this;

I have tamed it a little will a 8 inch x 1/4 inch iron ring placed between the pan and the heating platter so I can cook at a lower and constant temperature. However this defeats the purpose of an induction cooker as I could of just purchased a standard tabletop electrical element for less than $10.
