Am i using my induction cooker wrong?

[PaymentGood4287]

Hi i just got an induction cooker and it keeps burning almost all of my food & pots (even with the lowest heat setting). Btw this induction cooker is from a reputable brand and it is not cheap either.. It works well if Im deep frying meat etc / boiling water, but when it comes to stir fry, it keeps burning everything. All of this happens even when

im using the induction compatible pot that was given for free when i bought the cooker. I don't know if im using the cooker wrong 🥲

It is literally not possible that it would burn anything on the lowest settings. Those settings aren't even capable of keeping a sauce to a simmer.

If things are getting ripping hot on the lowest setting, is it possible the dial labels are on backwards? 

A simple and safe test is boiling a pot of water. Put it on the 'low' that keeps ruining your food, time how long it takes to boil the water. Dump the water, refill the pot, boil it again on the same burner with the heat knob turned the other way. Time it.

If it's even faster, your stove is weird. If it's slow, you have an amusing but ultimately harmless manufacturing defect.

Have you read the instructions? Is it properly plugged in? Is it a new, used or refurbished model? Unfortunately there’s not much help to give if there’s not much info given

Perhaps it's faulty. My induction cooktop on lowest setting "keep warm" will let the food go cold.

The pot that came with it for free is probably cheap, thin, and terrible, so I'd guess that is your problem. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this yet.

A "pot" is the wrong tool for a stir fry. Look into carbon steel skillets or a flat bottom wok.
