- Portable or Stationary?

A portable double induction cooktop can be taken on-the-go. It is the best choice when you want to regularly take your cooktop along with you.

A stationary cooktop stays in place and makes it easy to cook using induction technology on a daily basis.


- 110V or 220V?

A 110v double induction cooktop will suffice for most. However, if you need to cook more and/or faster, the 220v might be best.

Remember, if you buy the 220v, you might have to have some electrical work done. They are also hard to find and therefore are much more pricey.


- Burner Size?

Most portable double induction cooktops can only hold small to medium pots and pans. However, there are a few that can accommodate oversized pans.


- Safety Auto Power Off?

For safety, most induction cooktops have an auto-shutoff and child safety lock feature. Some also provide overheating protection.


- Other Features?

  • Sensor touches
  • Cooking timer
  • Multiple temperature settings
  • Easy-clean surface
