GE Cafe CGP350SETSS vs True Induction TI-2C

You can replace the two burners on the left with a griddle. It comes in handy for cooking eggs, bacon, and burgers.

The big tri-burner located at the center will give you outstanding results. With its center tiered burner and a doughnut-shaped outer burner, it can boil water in record speeds or maintain low temperatures for a perfect simmer.

Unlike electrical units, you have precise temperature control just turning the knobs, as the heat change is instantaneous. This accurate heat control of gas burners makes cooking very precise.

The control knob has a blue light that lights-up to indicate burners that are running, so you won’t accidentally forget if they’re still on.

It has a child lock to prevent kids accidentally switching it on.

This GE cooktop is easy to get tidy. It polishes clean with just a quick swipe. The stainless steel body, removable grates, and knobs make it very convenient to clean.

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.
