FAQs / Troubleshooting

Our Induction Plate is ultra-thin, powerful, and designed for everyday versatility. At just 1.8" tall, it’s compact enough for small kitchens yet strong enough for fast, even heating up to 1300W. The digital touchscreen and control knob give you precise time and temperature control, while five intuitive cooking modes make it easy to boil, steam, fry, pan-fry, or enjoy tabletop hot pot with confidence. It’s sleek, portable, safer than open-flame cooktops, and optimized for Our Place cookware.

Induction uses an energy field to heat the cookware directly — not the surface itself. That means faster heating, better efficiency, and more even results. The cooktop stays relatively cool (any warmth is just heat coming back from the pan). Only magnetic, flat-bottomed cookware will activate the induction field.

Your Induction Plate works with magnetically conductive, flat-bottomed cookware with a base diameter between 5–8 inches.

For best performance, use it with the Our Place Always Pan or Perfect Pot.
Both are induction-compatible, sized ideally for the cooking zone, and designed to deliver the most consistent heating experience on this plate — which is why they’re included in our Costco-exclusive bundles.

Also compatible with:

Induction-optimized stainless steel
Cast iron or carbon steel
Aluminum cookware with an induction base

Do not use: glass, ceramic, pure aluminum or copper (without induction base), rounded or warped bottoms, or cookware too small to activate the heating zone. If incompatible cookware is detected, the display will show error code E0.

The Induction Plate has five cooking modes designed for everyday meals and communal cooking:

Boil (Auto): Max power for quick water boiling; auto-shuts off after 25 minutes.
Steam (Auto): Gentle, steady heat for dumplings or veggies; auto-shuts off after 30 minutes.
Pan Fry (Manual): Adjustable from 140°F–460°F for sautéing, browning, or searing.
Fry (Manual): 140°F–460°F for controlled oil frying (recommended mode for all deep-frying).
Hot Pot (Manual): Adjustable 200W–1300W for simmering broth and tableside cooking.

All manual modes include an adjustable timer (1 minute–3 hours).

Several built-in features protect you while cooking:

Auto Cookware Detection: It won’t heat unless compatible cookware is present.
Cool-Touch Glass: The surface doesn’t generate heat on its own.
2-Hour Auto Shutoff: If untouched for two hours, it powers down.
Fan Cooldown: The fan continues for two minutes to protect internal components.
Child Lock: Prevents unintended adjustments.

These safety elements work together to reduce risk of burns, overheating, and electrical issues.

Yes — at just 13" x 10.6" x 1.8", it’s ultra-thin, lightweight, and easy to move or store. It’s ideal for small kitchens, apartments, dorms, and tabletop cooking experiences like hot pot or frying at the table.
