Frigidaire FGIC3067MB vs True Induction TI-2C

You can increase the maximum power output for 10 minutes when you begin cooking. This is useful if you need to boil something very quickly and also means you don't have to wait for pans to preheat. Thanks to this option and overall high efficiency, it's ideal for fast cooking.

Considering all its premium features at the given price range, this induction cooktop has an excellent price-performance ratio.

Working with this cooktop is very straightforward. All you need to do is turn it on, put on the pan and set the necessary heat level by touching the control pad.

When set to the lowest setting, it will only warm your food without the risk of overcooking it.

It automatically detects pan sizes and adjusts the heating element accordingly to maximize the efficiency.

If any liquid gets on the surface, the cooktop will shut off automatically to avoid any hazards.

The induction cooker heats the cookware itself, not the surface. If food spills onto the cooktop, it won’t be burned, and you can just wipe it off.

Induction cooktops are more energy efficient compared to electric and gas cooktops, having a 90% efficiency compared to the 55% efficiency of electric coils and 50% for gas. This induction cooktop is not an exception.

Since the surface is completely flat with virtually no risk of getting burnt food stuck to it, it only takes a few wipes to get it clean and shining.

Since there are no physical knobs or burners, the design is very clean and minimal. This cooktop should go well with most kitchen interiors.

This two-burner cooktop is a very effective solution for those that have small kitchens. Not only will it occupy considerably less space than a regular five-burner cooktop, you also can place it in a drawer when you need to free up an extra kitchen surface.

The TI-2C can be used almost anywhere, all you need is a mains power supply and a 24" by 14" flat surface to place it on. Carrying the unit is easy, as it weighs only 11 pounds.

The cooktop uses induction technology, meaning that it heats up to cookware itself and not the burners. Not only does it use power more efficiently, it heats up almost instantly, taking only half a minute to heat a pan. Another benefit is that the surface doesn’t get hot, as the energy is transferred directly to the cookware.

It can divide the maximum available 1800 W between its burners. For example, you can use the maximum 1800 W on just one burner, or do distributions like 600 W on one and 1200 W on another.

You can set a timer for each of the burners separately, reducing the risk of overcooking food.

The touch-sensitive controls consist of a couple of buttons that are very intuitive and easy to use. You can set the needed power level or temperature with a single press of a button.

The TI-2C is a portable cooktop that's great for lodges, caravans or those who don’t want to install a cooktop into their countertop. However, there is also a TI-2B model, which is technically identical but can be built in countertops, and an MD-2B model, which is a smaller version with smaller burners that can be either carried around or installed permanently in your kitchen.
