Vision Infrared Cooker Elite Cook

Vision Infrared Cooker Elite Cook — Any Pot You Already Own

The Vision Elite Cook is a 2000 watt infrared cooker. Unlike an induction cooker, an infrared cooker heats a coil under the ceramic plate and passes that heat up through the glass, so every pot in your kitchen works on it — clay, glass, aluminium, steel, even a round-bottomed karai. Nothing has to be magnetic, and nothing has to be replaced.

Nine heat levels, not three

Heat is adjustable across 9 levels through the soft touch panel and the side knob, and the 4 digit display shows exactly where you are. That range matters in everyday cooking: the lowest steps are gentle enough to keep curry warm or simmer milk without scorching, while the top of the range boils water quickly. Four presets — Fry, BBQ, Soup and Hot Pot — set a sensible starting point when you would rather not think about numbers.

Inverter control and protection

The inverter function varies the power supplied to the element rather than switching it fully on and off, which keeps the heat steadier at low settings. The cooker also carries high and low heat protection and voltage protection, so it shuts itself down rather than damaging the board when the mains voltage swings — a real consideration in many Bangladeshi homes. A timer and a lock button complete the panel; the lock is worth using if there are children in the house.

Living with it

Two moulded handles run down the sides, so the cooker can be lifted to the table for hot pot or moved out of the way after cooking. The ceramic plate stays hot for a while after use — that is normal for infrared and is printed as a warning on the body itself. Wipe spills once the glass is cool rather than while it is hot. You can compare it against the rest of our range on the infrared cooker page.
