Thanks for writing Don.........

Being a single person and cooking just for one in my
kitchen. I certainly won't be cooking in restaurant
quantities and using the induction hob in a busy restaurant
environment such as your friend. Tell me about YOUR
personal experience with a portable Induction Hob. I trying
to find comments from people, like me, who use them at
home. Restaurant models are available and can easily cost
over $2000. Those are not in my league.

The WP Induction Hob rates at 1400 watts which is
approaching the limits of my kitchen 110volt AC circuitry.
I don't plan to tap into my ranges 220volt circuit.
