Tefal IH2018 induction hob Everyday, 6 preset programs, 9 heat settings automatic pan detection, 2,100 W (household goods)

Customer Review

There is always the question of what one would expect from a product that is the price level at about 65 EUR. I cook for a long time almost exclusively only with a Bartscher 3500W single induction hotplate, a cost of about 200 EUR. The two devices to compare is unfair, but my experience with induction plates are still included in the assessment.

First, a test:. Boil 1l sick old bubbly water - Tefal (manual full power 210 W) = 3:30 min, Bartscher = 2:30 min This is really amazingly good and so I did not expect. On the other hand to use the Tefal program step "cooking" the process takes 5:30 minutes (and then turns off).

Tefal offers a range of "intelligent" programs, which of course ultimately turn out to be just as different levels of the hob, the cooking level automatically switches off. Pan recognition is of course not a smart extra feature, but pots without Magnetfährigkeit (Digression: only iron, nickel and cobalt are suitable) can not be hot due to the lack of physical conditions. Then the hob plays a warning sound (beep) and will switch off after about one minute, as if one had nothing on it. The cooking programs are perhaps not bad for a start, until you get used to the manual regulation. Ultimately, there is for induction plates only "on" or regulate "off", everything else is determined by the performance of the panel anticipated (similar to the magnetron of a microwave). The power setting is therefore only time intervals in which the power is turned on.

Visually the TEFAL plate is anprechend and a clear advantage before the very martial therefore coming Bartscher-Gastro-cook. As the plate is proven in daily use show up and eventually I'll still resent experience. On the other hand you have to leave the church in the village. If the part of the two (warranty) keeps years, then when the price is also good. As microwaves allow the induction plates with the time of performance by, so you have to replace it anyway, do not want to renounce the real benefits you: These are fast and intense heat perfectly dosed, similar to cooking and especially frying on gas. The purchase of a kettle you can save. To keep warm, long simmering and stewing, I continue to use classic ceramic hobs.

Since cooking for a fairly large person household, I can not and will not renounce my great cook. But as Beiplatte the Tefal will certainly me in good stead. One should definitely try it, put them to fondue on the table. Is certainly more pleasant than the unspeakable and dangerous structures, many of which are offered at the moment.

The only thing that still bothers me really, is the long cooling time while running a (fairly quiet but audible) fan. After water boiling the fan was still running after approximately 7:30 minutes. But that's whining at the highest level.

Conclusion: Since the induction cooking wave in the 90s of the last century from 2005 came up again after a first attempt, the discounters such cooktops offer the dozen. I had at that time as a part concerned and was totally frustrated. The power (usually 1400 W) extends not look to convey the feeling of cooking induction field. (Be careful: A double hob with 2800 W power rating is not better!) By comparison, the 2100 W powerful Tefal IH2018 induction hob is a thoroughly sinvolle supplement for the smaller household. Especially when it is no longer essential in the price on the cheap offers.

Lastly, I am heart-pacemaker patient and have never verspührt impaired by the magnetic radiation. Even my doctor keeps such warnings are exaggerated, but let everyone decide for themselves.
