What pans work on the Avantco IC1800?

You need induction-compatible cookware with a magnetic base, such as most cast iron and magnetic stainless steel. Test a pan with a magnet: if it sticks firmly, it will heat.

Does it need a special outlet?

No. It runs on standard 120V power, but at 1800 watts it draws close to a full 15-amp circuit. Avoid sharing the circuit with other high-draw appliances.

How many burners does it have?

One. It is a single-burner unit, so it works as an extra burner or a portable hot plate rather than a full cooktop replacement.

It is the only new price listed as of November 6, 2026, so there is no recent range to compare it with. Check that the seller includes the unit and any warranty before buying.

Can it be used for canning or large stockpots?

It can heat a large pot, but the 1800-watt output and the cooktop's size limit how fast big volumes come up. It is better suited to everyday pans than to large-batch canning.
