    In the spirit of the old tune "Things that make you go hmmmm"  (C&C music factory 1990) I decided to test how the A4 box heats.

     

    I started with a ambient appliance temp of 70F and did not put any plate into the A4 body.   I cranked the dial to max (11 for you Spinal Tap fans) and left it for 10 minutes (per Alexa).   The silver plate on the body got to a temp of 135F average, I was using my eTekcity infrared thermometer for the test equipment.

     

    I then turned off the body and let the appliance return to the ambient of 70F to start the next methodology.   I put the flat top insert in (also ambient 70F) and set the dial to max setting.   After 4 minutes the middle of the flat top measured ~450F, the temps to the sides and corners dropped to ~380F as I moved the dot.  After another 2 minutes the middle of the griddle was ~475F and the outer edges were ~450F.    I stopped the test then as the proof of the induction  accessory plates was assured by methodology.

     

    So, QED-ish?

    So nice of you to share your results. 
     

    A4Box is designed to work with pan and generate heat. If you use it without pan then it won’t heat up.

    To answer my own question, the A4 Box is made in China.  My A4 Box came today, well packed.  Fit and finish are acceptable, if not quite up to, say, Zojirushi standards.  Zojirushi makes similar cooking units designed for table use but the Zojiroshi ones available in the US at least are not induction.  On the other hand they are not nearly as expensive as the A4 Box either.

     

    The only negative I've seen so far about the A4 Box is that apparently (I could be wrong) the pans themselves are not induction compatible.  There is a metal plate in the base unit of the A4 Box that is heated by induction, and then the pans themselves are heated by conduction from the metal plate.  Had I known this I probably would not have ordered the A4 Box.  Plus the A4 Box non-stick coating does not look at all the best, though looks may be deceiving.

     

    But the proof is in the pudding, and I have yet to make my pudding.

     

    For anyone who cares, the A4 Box standard tray seems to fit in my CSO just fine;  though I have no plans for using it that way.

     

     

    All A4Box pans are induction compatible and are good quality non-stick. They are FDA approved and PFOA free.

     

    I think you are confused. there is no metal plate At the bottom, it is one part pan and we don’t do non-stick coating at the bottom of the pan. Reason is that when the induction plate transfers heat then non-stick coating will interfere.

    Are you the same Pankaj who posts content on the A4Box site?

     

    Yes, I am the owner of A4Box.

     

    i came across this blog and read all comments. I am trying to see if anyone is facing any problem with A4Box and if there is any area to improve. 
     

    I see people enjoying with A4Box and have written detail reviews, but no one has submitted their reviews on our website. This can help others understand about A4Box.

     

    i also love photos of recipes that all of you have posted here.  
     

    I am all ears if you want us to improve on anything. Shoot us email at info@afourbox.com and put it to my attention. I see almost all emails from all customers.
