So I bought this 5000w induction cooker off Amazon for about 400$. Warmfod or Warmford was the brand depending where you look. Just some Chinese OEM rebranded crap that is so prevalent on Amazon. It was great for a while then just died. I contacted the Amazon seller and he sent me a new one. That one lasted a bit then died too. Seems the overheat sensor did not work. so I contacted the seller a second time and he sent me a 3500w replacement this time. Oh well better than nothing. this one lasted a few sessions then blew. Insides were all broken. So I have an outdoor natural gas power burner that will work for the time being, but it’s so less convenient than being in my garage And has no hoist or roof.
So what do I get next.?? I don’t want to buy another cheap induction cooker. I could attempt to get a working cooker out of these 3 dead ones - a guy posted a while back on how to build one, but this is a bit advanced. Looks like a restaurant quality 3500 watt cooker is around 1500$ which is a bit high. Other option would be to ditch my kettle and get one of these 240v all in one units like the Anvil Foundry. Any thoughts? I liked the induction, but there was no way to hook up a controller, so it was a very hands on mash.
