Max Burton 6010 8 Inch Induction Interface Disk with Heat Proof Handle
Induction Cooktop Interface Disk allows you to use any non-induction (non-ferrous) cookware including aluminum, glass, copper, porcelain and stainless steel.

Just place the interface disk on the induction cooktop then place any cookware on top. 8-inch diameter surface, stainless steel construction and heat-proof handle.
4 Stars Disc for induction cooktop.
It is by no means like cooking with induction,but It allows me to use my mother’s pot. So, for that reason, I like it
1 Star Sent Induction Kenmore Stove into Fault Mode
I was really looking forward to purchasing an induction disk so that i could continue to use my non-induction ready pans on my new Kenmore Elite slide in stove. First use, the stove’s induction cooktop instantly recognized the disk’s magnetic characteristics and kicked right in. A few seconds later the stove went into error mode and the stove completely shut down and would not respond while the disk remained on the burner. The error code would not clear while the disk was on the stove. Once I removed the disk and replaced it with a magnetic pan, the error code went away and the stove resumed to work like a charm. I repeated the process several times. Each time the disk sent the stove into a error mode. Previously and since, the stove works great with all other magnetic fry pans and pots. I don’t know why I had a problem with this disk. Perhaps other stoves would not experience the same difficulties.
3 Stars So-so
Well, It did work as advertised, but it does seem a little high priced for what it is. I agree with other reviewers that it makes more sense to buy induction ready cookware. This item does effectively turn your induction burner into a standard electric burner. After all, if you can afford an induction cooktop, you can surely afford to buy some new pots and pans. The only reason I bought it was so that I could continue to use the expensive Williams-Sonoma fritatta pan my daughter had just given me for Christmas. One disturbing thing…When I used it the first time, I found some sort of dark brown residue burned onto the bottom of the disk AND onto my new induction cooktop. It took some heavy scouring to get that off the disk, and scraping with a razor blade to clean the cooktop. I suggest thoroughly scouring the disk BEFORE you use it to avoid this.
4 Stars 8 inch induction disk
A great product to help use old pans on an induction stove. I don’t use it often, but when I cook in pots that are infrequently use, I did not want to purchase a new pan for the purpose.
2 Stars Does not work well with Kenmore Elite Induction Range
This product causes an error on my Kenmore Elite Induction Range, (Free Standing), which really worries me. Everything just shuts off on the range.
I can get it to work without generating an error and shutdown of my stove with ONE pot of mine, a huge stainless steel steamer, that is about 14 inches in diameter. This steamer holds a huge amount of water and completely covers and overhangs this Induction disk. I put the pan filled with water on the Induction Disk before I turned on my burner. I had no error messages. I was steaming continuously for over an hour. The pot is a thin stainless steel pan. I was using a rather medium low temperature setting. I had to put a heavy weight on top of the steamer to ensure full contact with the Induction Disk. It seems as long as a pot can dissipate the build up of heat in the induction disk, I won’t get a failure error and shutdown of my induction range. I have not thoroughly tested this theory yet.
I tried using the Induction Disk with my aluminum pop corn popper pot, and as soon as the disk heated up I got the dreaded error message and shutdown. I was using a medium high temperature setting. I was really hoping to use this Induction disk with the pop corn popper because I simply can not find a pop corn popper pan that is induction ready.
I also have a complete set of very expensive waterless cookware that are not induction ready, and really wanted to use this disk with them. But, I’m worried it may generate an error message and complete shutdown. I have yet to try them with this disk as I’m leery of using it and breaking my induction range permanently.
I’ve recently started purchasing cast iron pots and pans for my induction stove since the failure of the induction disk. I am not sure if this error that is generated will be caused by my cast iron griddle that I just purchased to heat/cook tortillas on. Heating/cooking tortillas on a cast iron griddle may not dissipate enough heat and could, theoretically, cause an error message/shutdown. The cast iron skillets and pots work fine on the induction range. So, in truth, I can not say that the Kenmore Elite induction stove generating an error with the induction disk is limited to the induction disk use alone till I test the cast iron griddle.
I did purchase a good quality set of pots and pans for the induction stove, but I still want to use my waterless cookware, a pop corn popper and a griddle.
Due to it’s failure with my induction range, I do consider this disk to be a rather expensive learning mistake, therefore the low rating.
NOTE: I just tested my lodge griddle on the induction stove top, used it for about an hour at a rather high setting, (8), and it did not generate an error on my induction stove, (which causes the shut down of all the burners). So, it must be something to do with the induction disk and possibly the construction or materials used in the disk. When the disk generates an error and shutdown then when I restart, (turn on), the buner and get the induction disk near a burner – it will quickly generate another error/shutdown. It seems to generate the error when the disk is hot. Even low settings on the stove top generate an error with the disk – the only exception was the huge steamer pot I mentioned above.
