I am looking for an induction stovetop that lets you specify a precise
temperature for each plate, preferably going down as low as 100 degrees F.

I know that the single plate units they sell on Amazon do this, but I have
not seen it on the larger four and five plate units.

I looked far and wide before buying our GE induction cooktop, and could
not find one with temperature settings.

Of the six portable hobs I've owned, none had a setting lower than 140
deg F.

That's a shame. 100F would be perfect for making yogurt.

My question is answered. However, it's not anything I'd want or
expect a cooktop to do.

My single plate unit goes down to 100F - I've been meaning to try it for
yoghurt. I'm surprised that the larger units don't go that low.

Please share the make and model number.

The number one complaint in user reviews of yogurt makers is they don't
maintain temperature, so if you have an induction unit that will stay
constant at 100 that is a great find.

With a 140F setting and a little experimentation, shouldn't you be able
to hit 100 pretty close using a double boiler?

What good is lower than 140° F? you might as well set your pot in the
sun.

Eventually the second cooker reaches the temperature of the water. I have
tried. And it's very slow.

Nothing beats an induction cooktop you can just punch a temperature into and
walk away.
