Today I bought something that I never thought I ever would - an electric portable induction cooktop for the motorhome.

Being a gadgets man and tired of playing with gas in a breeze I thought I would give it a go.

It is a 300 to 2000 watt unit and seems quite schmick.

Online purchase so see what it is like when it arrives.

I have noticed a few of the new motorhomes have these built in.

Derek we bought one two years ago for our motorhome. We wouldn't be without it now - beats trying to keep the gas alight when it is windy.

Sometimes for every positive there can be a negative.

Not one of the cooking utensils in the motorhome would work with this little induction cooktop. Undecided

Undecided

So late yesterday went off to the new KHub (little KMart) in Gatton and bought some nice lightweight stuff with steel bases.

All good again.

If there is some type of cooking utensil you need I may be able to give it a go and make it.
I also have a box here of different size stirrers and things
I recently made a utensil like the one Mary Berry uses (as seen on TV)

Sorry Kevvie, utensils such as saucepans and frying pans. Induction only works on certain metals.

Thought I had misplaced mine, could not find it at home. Was at the caravan sorting things out and it was in one of the cupboards.

Good to use and always go on our trips. Robert

Derek have you been using it with an inverter or mains power. Would be interested in the power draw on your batteries. Cheers Robert.

Robert, just on mains.

The first photo cooking the salmon the draw is only 400 watts and the coral trout in the second was 600 watts. The cooker has a max draw of 2000 watts but you can set to what you want.

I only have the one 120ah battery and a 600 watt inverter so would need at least double the battery and a bigger more efficient inverter.

Not going down that track at this stage.

Muzz, they are currently in Aldi on a special buy for just under $50. Different model than mine but basically the same.
