Avanti products is the leader in institutional value. From the Hotel room to the Dorm Room we have the right product at the right price for you. Electric induction elements provide best cooktop performance, safety and efficiency. Unlike other electric elements, induction elements provide the precise temperature control of gas burners for gourmet cooking. Turning the dial down, the heat energy to the pan immediately decreases. Magnetic waves have no effect on skin or anything other than iron or steel. If the pan is accidentally removed from the cooktop, no more heat is produced. The Avanti Induction Cooktop is the perfect solution for all your cooking needs. Compact enough to fit unobtrusively on your kitchen countertop, the IHP1800L1B-IS is the perfect option for when large stove cooking just isn't convenient.

Moreover, this cooktop is energy efficient, using 25% less energy than standard electric hotplates. The IHP1501 also comes with a skillet, enhancing the range of use for this quality Avanti hotplate.
