Vollrath 59300 Mirage® Cadet Countertop Induction Range 1800W - 120V

I wanted to love this product but I have to say it was just ok. The description made it seem much more efficient than it actually is. I have used it next to a non-NSF induction burner and that unit operated much faster. This model takes a very long time to get hot which is very frustrating on a line where you need to cook eggs. Waiting for you skillet to heat up for minutes before you can add your product is less than ideal. All of the other features work very well and it is very durable and easy to maintain. If you don't need this for quick projects or a busy service it will do you well. However, if time is a concern i'd look at other models.

I replaced the Vollrath 59500P that had worked perfectly until it was destroyed in hurricane Ian with this 59300 as it was rated the same but less expensive, but it is worthless. The temperature control is terrible. When deep frying, the oil heats quickly in the same cast iron pot to 360 degrees f when set to maximum power then drops to less than 275 f before turning back on, even if nothing is added to the pot. If food is added, it will not regain temp. and the food is greasy and uneatable.

This is a great inexpensive induction burner to be used with a hood. It is quite durable and heats up well. We recommend this item.

I use this countertop induction burner everyday. We are a bakery kitchen and do not have a permit for open flames. So, this has been our workhorse. It heats up quickly and keeps stable cooking temperature. The range of temperatures is adequate for our needs.

Absolutely love this cook top. We began cooking with a basic induction top, just to see if it was worth the expense (having to buy induction cookware). We have both a standard cook top and an induction cook top. We own two of these hot plate style versions as well. These units are fantastic. Nothing from Vollrath has ever let me down. They have tight temperature settings. I know it looks like this unit is not as good as some of the others, e.g. those with temperature ratings exceeding 500 degrees. But, I can assure you, if you are cooking with induction you are not trying to sear like you would on a normal gas stove. Thus, the lower rating of 400 degrees here, with a greater amount of settings (20) gives you far more accuracy when cooking. This unit is worth every penny, and I am genuinely surprised it does not cost more!

I am very happy with the quality of this range, very easy to use, doesn't take up to much space. I use it to boil my hot dogs, make grill cheese sandwiches, and frying eggs for egg mc muffins. Perfect for my little deli and you cant beat the price.

We use this product everyday. From boiling large pots to tempering chocolate, this tool can do it all. It has many power settings so dialing in the correct heat level is easy. I would recommend this product to anyone. It is definitely a step up from the less expensive models.

Exactly what we needed for high-speed cooking. Compact, responsive, and tough enough for daily kitchen use.

Simple operation, instant heating. Cooling fan is a bit noisy. Well constructed heavy duty feel.

Works well so far. Heats quickly and efficiently. I have confidence in the Vollrath brand, so I have high hopes!

Purchased this for our restaurant and it has been an absolute blessing. We didn't have a cooktop and this has worked out perfectly! Great for boiling and frying!

We have used this in our bbq and catering business . Very easy to use and keep clean, heats up very fast. highly recommend this product.

These cooktops are a life saver. We do everything from boil kettles to make candy on these. They heat quickly and the temp adjustments are very accurate.

We use induction cooking for its super quick heating capability. The size is just right for our tiny kitchen. It's easy to move and clean under. Price was right.

This countertop induction range is so impressive. On our Buffet line we have 4 in a row. We call this the create station. They are lightweight which makes easy for mobility.

The villrath mirage caidet is a great piece of equipment, heats up very fast and a precised temperature. I would totally recomend this equipment to anyone!

We needed an induction burner to use for a few prep items on our menu. This unit is compact, lightweight, and has held up to the limited use we need it for. Excellent price and fast delivery.

We use this daily to make sauces. It heats up fast and keeps a steady temperature. It does make a weird humming sound when it is cooling off.

Fantastic addition to any restaurant the requires minimal cooking. We use this to reheat soups and sear proteins without having to purchase expensive equipment with an open flame.

Perfect for our off-site catering company. We work in quite a few older buildings that don't allow open flame, so these are perfect! We bought two. They boil water super quick and work with most of the pans that we already own.

WOW! This range is great! We used about 4 of these on the most recent catering event we had and they were great! Kept the food warm the whole time!
