I suspect if it worked that well you would not need to ask the question. There are lots and lots of induction cookware options out there not. Everytjing from Wal-mart affordable to second mortage chic. I wouldn't bother with the disk.

I have the Max Burton portable induction with the interface disk. I use the disk with my non-induction cookware. I'm not happy with the disk, it takes WAY to long for the cookware to get hot enough to cook the food. I really like the portable induction, so I will be looking for induction cookware.

parts - how long does it take? Once it is warm enough, what is the result?

It's like using an old coil cooktop, except it won't get anywhere near as hot.

I've cancelled my order based upon the information provided here. Thanks for your input.
