Ciarra Kitchen VersaCook Trio : Donut Induction Cooktop & Cookware Mini Duo

Y’all, this combo is a game-changer! The Ciarra Donut Cooktop is my new BFF—it heats up faster than my coffee maker, and the built-in timer? Lifesaver for multitasking moms like me! Perfect sear on steaks, and the cute design makes my kitchen look Insta-ready.

The Beyond Knife Set? Sharp enough to slice through tomatoes like air, and the ergonomic handles feel like they were made for my grip. No more wrestling with dull blades!

Together, they’ve turned my 5pm ‘What’s for dinner?’ panic into a ‘Look what I whipped up!’ flex. 10/10 for busy households—this duo deserves a chef’s kiss!

Standing 2.5”, it is a half-inch taller than my previous units. But it takes up less table space. The noise level is average. The controls are easy to figure out. Great for hotpot.

I am very happy with this appliance. I keep the top of my glass top electric stove covered all the time and don't use it. Last year I purchased a small induction cooktop that is only 600W. That one works fine for eggs, grilled cheese, etc., but was not great for boiling water. With this new cooktop, I can get water boiling in minutes for pasta or anything else. This burner worked perfectly with my induction cookware. The pink option was all that was available for me but it is a nice muted color that I like. It is thin and compact for the usefulness. The cost is basically the same as my lower wattage one and cooks so much fasted and with more versatility.

RECOMMENDATION: Thumbs up: Cooks faster and more efficiently than regular electric, safer than gasTHE GOOD: 1. This is a 1500watt cooktop and if you have not used induction before, it will surprise you with how fast it heats up – almost instantly. 2. The cooktop will not get as hot as it will with traditional electric or gas ranges – but it still does get hot so don’t touch it. 3. This is really inexpensive for an induction cooktop and a really nice plus for our kitchen. 4. You can cook by power level, time or temp.5. The controls are pretty intuitive. I did have to read the manual, but that was because of an error – see below 6. It has an incorporated fan to keep it cool, which is a nice addition. THE BAD:1. The cooktop is a little thicker than others I have seen, but not a problem overall. 2. As with all induction cooktops, you are limited on what types of pans you can use including some types of metal like aluminium and copper. I tried a stainless pot with copper clad on the bottom, but that did not work. The cooktop can sense when the pot is not on it or you are using the wrong type of pot, and an error code of E0 comes up. I had to read the manual to figure that out.3. Overall there are not any significant downsides to this cooktop – impressed with the features given the low price.

This cute little induction burner is super useful and surprisingly light. It's easy to use and heats up super quick. In under a minute we were well over 300 degrees and rising.
