The Ultimate Portable Cooktop Guide for Camping and Entertaining

With all the different options for portable cooktops, it can be difficult to decide what’s right for you. Whether you want an extra hot plate for heating and cooking at home or a convenient portable stove for camping, Salton’s great selection has something for everyone. Here’s a handy guide to choose your own cooktop, based on Salton’s best sellers:

Portable Induction Cooktops

If safety or energy efficiency is your biggest concern, go for induction. An induction cooktop uses magnetic waves to instantly heat a specialized iron pot or pan to precise temperatures. With a surface that remains cool throughout the cooking process, there is no need to worry about anyone accidentally burning themselves – and the smooth top wipes clean in a snap. It even has a timer to shut-off automatically, so you don’t have to worry about forgetting it’s on. It’s no wonder our induction cooktop is such a popular choice.
