Hi, The small bench top, one or two hot plate Induction Cookers that are available on flea bay etc.. Are they any good? My hot plates are slow to heat up & slow to cool down, these seem ideal for a quick cook. Only would be using on mains power at home. Feed back would be appreciated . Thanks Mike.
