CIARRA CBTIH2 Portable Induction Hob

I bought one of these to cover us for the three weeks our kitchen was out of action whilst a new one was being fitted. If you do your research on similar products you'll find similar comments for all of them. You're not going to be able to avoid things which I can confirm: 1 - Yes, it is relatively noisy due to the heavy lifting the fans have to do. 2 - Yes, you do have to pay attention during cooking as the graduation of heat control is in relatively large jumps. What this means in practise is that when simmering something you must pay attention to avoid inadvertently boililng it, or having it on too low a heat. With just a little bit of practise, patience and experience this becomes second nature. I can also provide some of my own editorial: 1 - the product looks great and is large enough to accommodate two relatively large pans sumultaneously. 2 - the product is easy to clean, relatively lightweight and easy to store. 3 - my product was/is extremely reliable. It took something of a hammering when we were using it intensely. No complaints at all. 4 - I thouroughly recommend this product. I thought it was good value for money too.

Ideal temporary solution for while our kitchen is being renovated. I am not that accustomed to induction but this feels ok and easy enough to use. Looks well made, nice finish and proportions, good value highly recommend.

Sometimes if you turn it on and turn on heating it freezes until you turn it off. So during power up just take your time and it will work flawlessly. The timer feature is great, turns the heating off when it ends just as you expect and each plate has a seperate timer which is great. If you want to heat the two plates at max settings, that's not supported, only one plate can run at max at the one time, the other plate must be off, which is fair enough cause you are running into the circuit breaker limit at that point. Overall this is one of the cheapest on amazon and it works great

We used this every day just the job no problems at all would definitely recommend 👍.

I'm down sizing to a smaller home and figured as I hardly use the gas oven that instead I'd buy this hob and an air counter top cooker. This one works very well. I needed to buy a new set of pans as mine didn't work with it. A great purchase.

I bought this because I didn't want to instal a hob or sink on my island working service top. A portable hob was a better option if I wanted to cook in a different area of my kitchen or use it outside in the summer. I am impressed by how easy is to use and clean it. Not as noisy as others commented. Very good buy for the money!

I find the heat isn’t evenly shared across the hob-constantly stirring to ensure even cooking. Not at all happy with this hob.

The good points are it is a neat 2 hob cooker which is easy to clean. The not so good points are you have to select the power input every time before you do anything which I find very unnecessary, obviously the more power, the quicker it will heat up but it starts at 1440Watts and goes down in stages, it doesn't remember what you set it to last time. You then set the temperature which also starts at the maximum but I tend to use 60 up to 120 degrees. I often cook porridge so I bring it to the boil, set at 100C, then turn it down to the next setting 80C but it keeps boiling so I turn it down to the next setting 60C but then it isn't hot enough so I put it back up to 80C and it may or may not start boiling again. You have to keep stirring otherwise the contents can easily catch at the bottom. If you are trying to cook rice, good luck, it goes on and off and the fan noise is irritating. I am quite disappointed by this, the heat regulation is very bad and I have tried all sorts of different saucepans. If this is how all induction hobs work, I wont be buying any more.

The left side stopped working after couple of months, is not detecting the pan

I'm very satisfied with this induction hot plate.

📝 DESCRIPCIÓN Placa de inducción portátil de dos fuegos con control táctil independiente y hasta 3500W de potencia total. 👉 Modelo más económico en Amazon: https://amzn.to/4xkGLFj 🧾 ESPECIFICACIONES • 2 zonas de inducción • Potencia total: 3500W • 9 niveles de potencia • Control táctil independiente • Temporizador • Bloqueo infantil • Protección contra sobrecalentamiento • Detección de recipientes • Superficie vitrocerámica 📦 CONTENIDO • Placa de inducción portátil • Cable de alimentación • Manual de instrucciones 💶 PRECIO 9 de mayo de 2026: 72,20 € 🟢 PROS • Calienta rápido • Dos fuegos independientes • Fácil de limpiar • Ocupa poco espacio • Controles sencillos • Buena potencia 8️⃣ VALORACIÓN La cogí para tener una zona de cocción adicional y también porque me gusta que se pueda guardar cuando no la utilizas. Hay veces que necesitas preparar varias cosas a la vez o simplemente no dispones de una cocina fija donde colocar una placa convencional, y este tipo de soluciones vienen muy bien. Lo que más me gustó fue la rapidez con la que calienta. Vienes de cocinar con otros sistemas y se nota bastante la diferencia. Para hervir agua, preparar una sartén o cocinar algo rápido responde muy bien y no tienes la sensación de estar esperando continuamente. Los dos fuegos funcionan de forma independiente y eso da bastante juego. Puedes tener una olla por un lado y una sartén por otro sin complicaciones. Los controles táctiles son bastante intuitivos y en pocos minutos ya sabes manejar todas las funciones básicas. La superficie también me gustó porque se limpia muy fácil. Si cae alguna salpicadura normalmente basta con pasar un paño cuando se enfría y vuelve a quedar limpia. Al no tener recovecos ni quemadores tradicionales, el mantenimiento es bastante sencillo. Otra cosa que me pareció práctica es que apenas ocupa espacio. Cuando no la necesito la guardo y listo. Para apartamentos, segundas residencias, cocinas auxiliares o incluso para determinadas celebraciones donde hace falta cocinar más cantidad, puede venir muy bien. Hay que tener en cuenta que solo funciona con recipientes compatibles con inducción. La forma rápida de comprobarlo es acercar un imán a la base; si se pega, normalmente te servirá sin problema. ✅ CONCLUSIÓN Placa de inducción práctica, potente y cómoda de utilizar. Calienta rápido, ocupa poco espacio y resulta muy útil como cocina auxiliar o para quienes buscan una solución portátil con dos fuegos. 👍 RECOMENDABLE. ✳️ Espero que mi comentario ✍️ te haya podido servir de ayuda 😃

Ottimo piano cottura ad induzione

Ne avevo uno singolo , dopo un anno circa , ho deciso che era ora di cambiarlo per uno più grande. Sono soddisfatta . Piano molto comodo e più sottile di quello che avevo . Bellissimo .
