It's been nearly a year since I started this thread, and with several months of typical induction cooker use under my belt, I should report that I am using the smaller induction hob almost exclusively, even though I have a nice gas stove. I'm still not in love with the membrane buttons, but the quietness of operation, repeatability of and timer on the unit has been very useful to me.

I do like to do stir fry from time to time, and in that case abandon the induction cooker and go for gas. The induction unit is poorly suited for that application.

I have made every mistake in the book, including forgetting to set the timer and letting the pot boil dry... the temperature sensor cut the heat and sounding the beeper.

I also set a lid down on the still active hob... just not a good idea. The temperature sensor couldn't read the lid, even though it was getting hotter. So total idiots, such as myself, can still get in trouble.

All in all, it has been a very useful addition to my kitchen, and worth owning.
