What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Listing details are inconsistent on dimensions: the technical field says 1.7 inches high while the feature text gives 1.8 inches.

Use a magnetic pan with a flat 4–10-inch base on a nonmetal, heat-resistant surface, with at least 4 inches of ventilation clearance. Temperature mode may vary with pan type and thickness.
