I saw a double burner induction unit installed into a butcher block cart at my local Whole Foods. Can this unit be installed into a cavity of a countertop or cart?

it looks like it would work to me. I have been thinking of doing just that myself. You would need an outlet below inside the cabinet and clearance.

All the controls are on the top so that part would work but there's no lip for it to hang on to the countertop. If there is some sort of support from below for it to rest on, I think it could be done. The unit itself doesn't get that hot so it likely would be safe. I think for safety sake, install it into a fireproof surface... not wood. Hope this helps. P.S. I think there are models that are specifically designed to be built in.

this is a stand alone unit not meant for enclosure as it needs air circulation

You need to look at the other model of True Induction, which is made to be installed flush with a countertop. The glass top on the other model has a larger area so it can "rest" on the countertop/surface.

Yes the unit can be installed in a cart or countertop. The unit has two fans on the bottom of the burner. Put vent holes with the same diameter or larger in same location as fans and you will be good to go.

I don't know if it is the same one. But, it needs to breathe. There are fans in it. Maybe if there is clearance underneath. Cathy p.s. I still love this stove.

No this unit cannot be dropped into a countertop but they do have some that do. I believe True Induction has some.

Thiss unit is not designed to be installed in a countertop, but is excellent for use on one.

I remember reading that, but I don't know if it's true. I bought it anyway. I think it's fantastic. Vollrath is an excellent brand going way back to the late 60s when in my late teens I bought a set of Vollrath pots and pans. Still have them, and I can't imagine I will ever replace them because they're made so well. They are perfect for using with the Vollrath induction burner. I'm sorry I couldn't give you a better answer. Perhaps if you go directly to Vollrath you can get a better answer.

I have used the griddle on either side. The sear station is not activated unless you turn it on separately from the burners. I have not used the griddle and the sear at the same time.

That is a great question. A magnet adheres to the bottom of the saucepan, not to the sides and not to anything on the double boiler insert. I'm not sure how induction works but that is how the magnet test went.

My advice is to use one INDUCTION adaper like: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CJCOUN0 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GFSLDVG ( are on the way to arrive in FBA ) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HEQDYXI/ ( also on the way ) They are made of Stainless Steel perfectly flat and can be a solution for your case.

Yes. That was the reason I purchased it was for an Induction type burner and it works no problem.

YES, it is the reason I bought mine after I bought an induction burner. You won't be sorry because it is good quality and I like it because you can wash it out.

I need that information about being used for induction cooktops. In store shopping, I have to use a magnet to see if the magnet sticks to bottom. Cast iron works, the Cuisinart ten-pc. step (Amazon.com) stated in write up that it was for induction cooktops. I don't want to order items from Amazon.com and find out after the fact that they aren't for induction cooktops. I am looking for a tea pot for my cooktop now. Just would be extremely helpful if advertisers would say in their write-ups it the product is for induction cooktop. My house burned down this past summer and we are rebuilding and I am getting the induction cooktop and double ovens, one of which is convection. So, I will be learning how to cook with them, and with the added problem of what pans work on them is a challenge. Thanks, Suzanne Martin, Amazon.com customer

I did that and one side of the refrigerator failed in about a year. It is under warranty but with the shipping costs of returning it to the manufacturer it was not practical. I'm not sure if the under counter installation caused the failure or not. I left about 2-3 inches of clearance on the sides and top and 4-5 inches in the rear. I am going to replace it locally with a unit that is made specifically for built-in applications and vent out the front of the unit.

The Waring Commercial Double Burner is a cooktop like an electric range. It has dials to set the heating temperature like the dials of a range. It will boil water and cook food just the same as an electric range. I bought it to use for cooking while I was waiting to purchase an electric range/stove for my kitchen. It is easy to use and I prefer it sometimes over the stove. Hope this helps answer your question.

This model is a "portable" -- But True Induction now also has a double burner "counter inset" model available (Model S2F3 according to their website)

Mine is in the back of my pantree. I reached in with a tape measure and got about 12 inches deep and 10.5 wide. When I have used it on my gas stove it went a little over the burner area. With the burner behind empty it was not a problem. I do not know enough about induction stove tops. But I really like the pan so it might be worth trying.

Entirely up to you. The unit exhausts out the top or rear. Additionally, you can opt to re-circulate your "filtered" cooking atmosphere back into your food prep area.

This is a valid question for someone looking to buy cookware for an induction burner. PLEASE do not answer this question unless you really know what you're talking about!!! Some people don't know what an induction burner is and think anything that isn't electric coil or gas is an induction. It is NOT. The very easiest way to to tell if a pan will work is to see if a magnet will stick to the bottom. If it does, it will work with induction burners.

From what I understand about induction stovetops, unless the burner is the size of the pan, you would not get even heating. I use a two burner gas top for this and it heats very evenly. You would need to look up info about your unit.

I'm not familiar with induction burners. Call Cuisinart. This is however, a sturdy excellent unit. If it didn't work on an induction unit, this would simply be stupid. So, direct this question to cuisinart. It seems to be a simples yes or no answer, honestly. If they made "induction only" cookware, we would know they existed. Best of luck! I love this pan!

Check the bottom of the pan, there should be an imprint that says "induction suitable". You can also check the bottom of the pan with a magnet .... if the magnet is attracted to the pan it can work with induction burners.The product purchased from Amazon does work with induction burners.
