Karinear Portable Ceramic Hob for ALL Cookware

I bought my first one last year as I was about to downsize and not take the cooker with me. Thought it would do as a stop gap but after seven months daily use it's been so good that I don't want to go back to a normal size cooker. I don't need 4 rings but I thought 2 might be beneficial so today I've taken delivery of my second hob, identical to the first. I'm 76 so I had a few crucial criteria on the checklist when I was choosing a model. Safe, simple, stable, solid and sensible. This ticks all those and more. No fiddly knobs. Simple, effective and rapid heat control by means of a touch screen. The lettering is clear and easy to read and the display lets you know exactly what power level you're on. If you need to raise or lower it, just touch the screen till you reach the required level (e.g if you boiled something and then want to simmer). Easy to clean - no different to any other ceramic hob but I will get some purpose made cleaner for it tomorrow. It's wiped after every use and I was careful when siting it, ensuring it sits on a heavy duty heatproof & level base, under the extractor and with clearance around it. So, my experience to date has been excellent - boils well, simmers perfectly, fries evenly - all with standard cookware. The 2nd hob will be used with borosilicate glass jugs for gently heating drinks and keeping them warm at the dining table. I need to master the timer next as I've not tried it yet. It arrived well packaged, no damage whatsoever, speedy delivery and includes as instruction book. Note this is not a flimsy item but a solid piece of proper kitchen equipment that will hopefully be the last I need to buy. First rate product Karinear, thank you, and thank you to Amazon for great service.

Quite lightweight and easy to use, perfect for cookery classes and portable kitchens. Surface is nice and flat so extremely easy to clean once it''s cooled down. Tested it and boiled a pan of water in less than 10 mins at 1800 watts (it goes up to 2000 if needed). The fan stays on once turned of to keep cooling down and it's not that noisy as some mentioned in their reviews. It's a fan!! Plenty of warning for hot surface. Definitely a good product, I need 4 in total but bought only one to test first. Getting the other 3 straight away.

I have had this for about two weeks now and i must admit, i am quite pleased. I saw a lot of the previous revies about the screws not being long enough for the feet but i found this not to be the case. The white markings on the top do mark easily but the main operation is very efficient. the only thing that does annoy me a little is that each time you turn on the hob you need to press and hold the function key to see what temp you are cooking at. would be nice if it remembered that i want to see the temp and not that wats it is using. otherwise a great product

I bought this to replace a similar device (different brand) which, after several years of great performance, had become faulty. I am delighted that this Karinear seems to be every bit as good. It is easy to use, power being variable at 200 W intervals between 200 W and 2000 W. That high maximum power is useful for bringing a pan rapidly to the boil, before tapping the touch control to reduce power for steady boiling or simmering. The Karinear nicely complements my other 2000 W single hob, which is an induction unit and therefore not compatible with a few of my cookware items - in particular the aluminium "pot" of my sear-and-stew slow cooker. The smooth and flat top surface is easy to clean. A nice touch after turning off is the "Hot" warning on the display. Recommended without reservation.

Purchased to replace IKEA induction hob. Very pleased with this. Good size and heats well, even large pans. Easy to clean. I only have a couple of niggly gripes. First, unable to get 200c setting (may not exist). It leaps from 150c to 250c. Second is when I push the minus to reduce the heat, it goes up instead, so I have to push it again to go down in temperature, minor gripes as I say.

Unable to use with drawers underneath as the mains wiring comes straight out of the bottom and catches on the drawer back otherwise the cooker would have been good

The Karinear Portable Ceramic Hob is a reliable and versatile cooking solution suitable for various kitchen setups. Its compatibility with all cookware, portability, and user-friendly features make it a practical choice for those in need of an additional or portable cooking surface. While it may be limited by having only one hob and potentially slower heating times, its overall performance and safety features make it a valuable addition to any kitchen. For anyone looking for a flexible and efficient cooking appliance, the Karinear Portable Ceramic Hob is a solid investment.

I already have a single unit which I dropped a cast iron pan onto and cracked it, although it still works but the look is gone so it will be my back up. They are great hobs and this double will serve me better. It came very well packaged and was delivered quickly so I can recommend they product and seller.

This is amazing!! We live in an RV and I was cooking on a little two burner hot plate that was balanced on the sink. We tore out the table and benches and made a cabinet with a counter top. We cut out the hole (using the measurements included) and I have cooked multiple times a day every day. I have had it for two years and it still works great!! Its temperature is true to the degree. I us wiemans (sp?? Glass top cleaner, scrubber, and blade; and, it has remained in top condition and like brand new. I opened a cabinet over it and a jar fell out and shattered it. :(. I just repurchased the exact same one. Totally worth the price and the company has a customer support service that is awesome!! Highly recommended!!

La estufa Karinear tiene buen aspecto, y calienta supera bien. Me atrevo a decir que es mucho más rápida que una estufa de gas. El único problema-y es el único que le veo es el ruido de los abanicos, super ruidosos. Haber... No creo que siendo una empresa china no puedan copiar algo mejor, si de eso viven. En el video que adjunto se puede escuchar el escándalo ensordecedor, llega a igualar a los abanicos de un vehículo, o a superar al doble el sonido de la lavadora cuando esta exprimiendo. Si tienes problemas auditivos, no tendrás problema con adquirir una de estas.

Firstly let me say that this is my own personal experience, which may differ from other purchasers, but I’m hoping it will help others who intend to purchase the same electric cooker. Before selecting this item I did my due diligence and reviewed similar electric cookers and read their written reviews, and the one thing that was above those that I reviewed that made me select the Karinear, was the Title shown for the function mode. i.e. “Melt” thru to “Fast Heat”. No guessing at what mode you are cooking at, nor, trying to remember what the manual says for the wattage. It’s there in front of you. Considering I am an 80 year senior it’s a blessing. Although it heats up fast it isn’t as fast as an induction cooker, or so I am told, but it definitely heats up quicker than my stove. I give Customer Service 5 stars. I had cause to contact them when I opened the box and secondly in operating the cooker. I have a string of emails with respect to each contact, which are beyond reproach. I for one think that the service I received was excellent. As for the cooker….I wasn’t sure whether to give it 4 or 5, but decided 5 since it is a good cooker that I like, it does what it is supposed to do and makes my life easier. Why the 4 you may well ask. Well, I found the instructions a little confusing and I consider them to be not very user friendly for seniors. Hopefully however the following may explain it and I am referring to the manual provided. Step 1 is good but the On/Off button stays alight, it is only saying the power is on so don’t panic. Step 2 is good EXCEPT DO NOT PUSH AND HOLD THE BUTTONS. They are Touch Buttons so TAP the buttons like tapping an icon on your mobile, a gentle tap. This I discovered after a lot of heartache, attempts and time spent. Step 3 is good Step 4.1 Having written many instructions, read and approved many prior to retirement this gave me heartache. This is what I found. After Step 3 TAP the Function button and 1000W appears. I waited about 1 second (counted 1001) tapped again the Function button, waited and continued tapping until I had gone through all function modes back to 1000W, waiting about a second between each tap. I did that just to make sure that that is what I have to do. I switched it all off, waited until cool and then went through again until it got to the cooking mode I wanted and stopped. That is basically the intent of Step 4. If you have a problem in getting to the function mode you may want to try this. Step 5 I haven’t tried Step 6 Yes you can increase the wattage or decrease but in tapping the Function button it doesn’t jump to the corresponding mode. i.e. going from boil mode (800W) down to simmer (400W) ). In changing, tapping the - sign, I am assuming it does drop in wattage. The alternative I found was to tap the Function button when in 800W and continue tapping Function until you get to simmer. That’s easiest for me because it saves wondering if you are getting the correct temperature. Step 7 I haven’t tried I am very pleased I purchased it and, as you probably guessed, I thoroughly recommend this item and shall continue to enjoy cooking on it.

Me gustó mucho es muy práctica funciona al 100%. Puedo usar cualquier olla o sarten. Esta hasta ahora excelente llevo un año usándola. Recomiendo ver algunos videos en you tube de cómo usarla

Perfekt 👌👍 Absolut wie erwartet. Funktioniert genauso so wie der Herd. Und der Lüfter ist vom Geräusch wirklich akzeptabel.
