Portable cooktop
APPLIANCE -- The folks at Frigidaire have been busy cooking up a space-saving stovetop solution. The Portable Induction Cooktop ($199) blends convenience with energy-efficient cooking in a format ideal for small living spaces or non-traditional cooking spots found in condos, RVs, basements, boats or cabins. It's also a creative solution for families that love to entertain, but long for additional cooking space.
The cooktop's induction technology effectively converts electricity into cooktop surface heat, and it allows for precise temperature control. The appliance is lightweight, with a compact design, and it can be cleaned easily with a damp cloth or sponge.
The Frigidaire Portable Induction Cooktop is available at Sears, The Brick, Leon's, the Bay and Coast Wholesale Appliances.
