The 8100MC also has a timer function, but it lacks a child lock or presets for boiling water and similar common uses. Like the 9600LS, the 8100MC lets you adjust settings by temperature or power level, though those settings are not as granular, spaced in increments of 40 degrees Fahrenheit rather than 20 degrees as on the 9600LS - even more so than with the higher-end model, we found it easier to stick to adjusting the burner output by power instead. The 8100MC is slightly more compact than the 9600LS (it’s about an inch shorter in depth), and has a similarly intuitive design, though the aesthetics are a bit less slick and the display more minimal. It even brought water to a boil faster than its bigger sibling, in around 3.5 minutes. For around half the cost of the 9600LS, the Duxtop 8100MC cooks nearly as well, browning meat, sauteing onions and holding a simmer better than the competition. The Duxtop 8100MC is a great alternative for the occasional user, someone on a budget or people tight on space.

This was actually less severe with the 9600LS than with the other cooktops we tested, so a point in its favor if you are sensitive to the sound.ĭuxtop 8100MC Portable Induction Cooktop Alex Arpaia/CNN Underscored The only issue we encountered was the high-pitched whine common to induction cooktops when used with certain cookware. A child safety lock, timer, boil and keep warm settings round out the selection of useful features.
You can adjust the burner’s output by either power level or temperature we found it easier to maintain a steady simmer using the power settings (rather than temperature selection). The 9600LS is compact - about 11.5 inches wide by 14 inches deep - and suited even to cramped kitchens, and its design is clean and functional, with a responsive, easy-to-read angled control panel that enabled us to make the most of this burner’s cooking capabilities. At the highest heat setting, the 9600LS also beautifully browned a beef chuck roast in a cast-iron skillet. The 9600LS burner also gently sauteed onions, caramelizing them perfectly, rather than blackening or charring, as happened with the other cooktops we tested.

It boiled two quarts of water in 4 minutes, quicker than some cooktops that took upwards of 5 minutes to reach a full boil. With 1800 watts of power, and temperature settings ranging from 130 degrees to 460 degrees Fahrenheit, the 9600LS handled every ingredient and task we tested well. The Duxtop 9600LS was the top-performing burner in our cooking tests. It cooked just as well as our brand new LG electric range, but in a fraction of the time. Since an induction cooktop can heat pans directly and efficiently via electromagnetism, it can get up to temperature much faster than a flame or traditional electric burner, and the Duxtop 9600LS got up to temperature the quickest of the competition (and held that temperature more accurately). It excelled on our cooking tests, handling a variety of tasks with ease.
The Duxtop 9600LS Portable Induction Cooktop was the best all-around induction burner we tried.
