I'm seeing these TV ad's for the "New cooking methods" using Induction cooking and it looks like a counter top single burner. my question is they say it takes less power but are these safe to use in our Motor Homes ? if they draw less power I would say Yes, however in so many things if it is to good to be true, then....you guessed it...it's not true.. so has anyone bought one of these and tested the Power usage and electric pull in the wiring of the RV ? are these safe ? or just, Well TV....being that we use shore power for the most part it would be great if it were true, but I do not want to either burn up my rig, or short out the power for the line of rigs along side of me.Thank you for any insightHappy and Safe Travels to all,

No, I do not have one... I have two. One for the home and one for the RV. They are 1300-1500 watts so work off a 15 amp circuit. The DW rarely uses the good gas cook top in the RV if we are hooked to shore power. Requires the use of magnetic cookware... not pure SS but some SS will still work as they are not pure SS. If a magnet will stick to it, it will work so no alum. Very fast heat and you can find them for less than $50 on Ebay and well worth it.

We recently purchased a single burner convection cooktop from Amazon for $75. After a significant research we found it was best to have up to 1800 watts and the one from Amazon had it and figured give it a try. It certainly boils water quickly and cooks eggs well. It takes a few times to get used to the heat setting. The nice thing the only heat comes from the pan and not from the burner which was our objective. :C

They are already installing them in some new model motor homes. I know Winnebago and Tiffin are using them in select models.(Upgrade)

We have a induction burner for RV and Induction range in house. DW uses RV unit all the time. Heats fast and does not create heat in RV like using gas burner.Induction cookware can be expensive. We found the most at Ikea. They also had some of the best prices.

We also have one in the home and one in the MH. We love them. I like the fact I can set either power level or temperature. We're looking to upgrade the one in the MH to a two burner. If the first burner is set at 10 (max power) and you turn on the second burner to 3, it lowers the first to 7, so as to not exceed the 15 amp rating.
