As of 2021, these are way out of production and have been since roughly 2015. As a substitute, I’d recommend buying the Duxtop 9600LS instead, as it’s much more capable and the best value among all portable induction cookers on the market today.
This is not going to be a full product review, because this product is out of production. Nevertheless, it was the first induction cooker I actually liked.

This is not going to be a full product review, because this product is out of production, so it’s unlikely you will ever have the misfortune of buying one of these like I did.

PRODUCT REVIEW
This product review is for the induction cooker commonly sold in North America as the Tatung TICT-1500W or TICT-1500TW.
NOTE: As of 2021, these are way out of production and have been for several years. As a substitute, I’d recommend buying the Duxtop 9600LS instead, as it’s much more capable and the best value among all portable induction cookers on the market today.
Background:
Tatung is an old, billion-dollar Taiwanese firm (established 1918). It is a major brand for home appliances and consumer electronics, such as television sets, rice cookers, and induction cookers. Like many big brands, it does not necessarily own and operate the factories that make the products branded with the Tatung label.

The TICT-1500W was my first induction cooker. I remember fondly… NOT.
How would you like to relieve clutter in your kitchen AND get more counter space?
Today I’m reviewing the Seville Classics Stainless Steel Professional Kitchen Cart Cutting Table
NOTE: Seville changed the manufacture of this cart so it’s now a three-tier moveable wire rack, which can be even more useful due to the extra space in the middle tier.
Background:
Seville Classics is a home/office products producer that is not bashful about the Chinese origins of its products. In fact, Seville Classics even boasts on its website about its 32-acre factory campus in Guangdong, China. I’m not particularly squeamish about buying Chinese products as long as they have good quality control, and since I don’t plan to have food come in contact with my carts, ever, it’s even less of a problem.
Like many importers, Seville Classics has its headquarters near Los Angeles, in the city of Torrance, California. Los Angeles is home to San Pedro harbor, one of the largest and busiest ports in the world.
The company was incorporated back in 1979, so it’s clear that Seville Classics is not a newcomer to the home/office products game.
Okay, enough about the company, let’s move on to the review.
The Good:
I’ve owned two of the Seville Classics Stainless Steel Professional Kitchen Cart Cutting Tables
My wife is a neat freak, and these carts passed her “is it worth the clutter?” test because they actually de-cluttered our kitchen! That’s because these carts are multi-purpose. We replaced a single-purpose wine rack with this cart. The wine fit in the middle basket, leaving us with the top surface of the cart and the lower shelf available for other storage needs.
What’s great about this cart:
PRODUCT REVIEW
This product review is for the DUXTOP 1800-Watt Portable Induction Cooktop Countertop Burner 9100MC
THE COMPANY
Demeyere (pronounced Deh-MAI-reh) was a Belgian company founded in 1908 as a family business. 100 years later, the family sold the company to Henckels/Zwilling. Demeyere is an offbeat cookware company. Imagine an uncle who loves cooking. Imagine he wins the lottery and decides to build the ultimate set of cookware for himself, regardless of cost, such that he will never even think of buying any more cookware afterwards. Imagine that he loves the results so much that he shares them with the world. That’s pretty much Demeyere in a nutshell: superb but expensive. That said, my kitchen has quite a lot of Demeyere in it; it has never failed to impress.
THE PRODUCTS BEING REVIEWED
The Demeyere 1.5-quart 4-Cup Egg Cooker/Poacher
By the way, poaching just means cooking by simmering in liquid (water). In practice this setup gives you a cross between poached and steamed eggs, but that shouldn’t stop you from enjoying the delicious results no matter what you call it.
Key features:
– 1.4 liter (1.48 quart) capacity
– 18 cm top diameter (7.1 inches); 16 mm bottom diameter (6.3 inches)
– 4 mm (0.17 inch) thick aluminum disc base
– Glass lid with steam vent and steel handle
– Welded 18/10 stay-cool stainless steel sauce pan handle
– Rivetless handle design won’t trap food particles
– Stainless steel 18/10 interior surface, magnetic stainless steel bottom surface (for induction compatibility)
– 4 nonstick egg cup inserts with individual handles, plus a stainless steel lifter for quickly lifting all four inserts at the same time
– 2-year warranty
The sauce pan/egg poachers are made in Indonesia and are part of Demeyere’s “Resto” line
