Outdoor GFCI outlet trips when using electric cooktop

Hello,
When I plug my electric cooktop into the outdoor GFCI outlet, the GFCI trips. The cooktop is rated at 1000w according to the label. Do those GFCI outlets have a lower amperage rating than normal?

Thanks,
Ray

GFCIs are NOT CBs and don't detect over current, but rather an imbalance of amps between the hot and neutral. Try the cooktop on another GFCI and if it doesn't trips - well you know. Otherwise it's the cooktop.
