I own a Butterfly; I also own a Prestige Induction Cooker model PIC 1.0, costing about Rs.2700; the latter is very inconvenient to cook; it has 10 std menus like soup, porridge etc and a manual mode where I can adjust the temp/wattage in steps. Most of the time, I am unable to use the std buttons; the major problem with the manual mode is that it has 80 degrees, 160, 180, 200, 230 & 280 degrees.
Most of the cooking needs 100 degrees (water boiling temp) there is no such setting; when I use 80 degrees, water does not boil, rice cannot be cooked, idli takes longer time etc and when I use the next step 160 degrees, rice overflows, idli gets burnt etc! The engineer who designed it knows nothing! 80, 100, 120, 150, 180, 240, 280 degrees wd make more sense. Resolution is needed at around 100 degrees. I am unable to use it at all. I do not know if I need to throw it off. Prestige Company must resolve this early, at least for future buyers. For the present, avoid Prestige Induction cookers.
New buyers: please ensure that what you buy has 100 degrees as a heating option or you must have simming option at your will, which is the best option; the std menus have lesser use.
