Brentwood Select TS-381 1200W Single Infrared Electric Countertop Burner with 60-Minute Timer - Stainless Steel

Brentwood Select TS-381 1200W Single Infrared Electric Countertop Burner with Timer

Infrared, not induction - which means it works with every pan you already own. Induction burners are fast, but they are useless unless your cookware has a magnetic base. The Brentwood Select TS-381 heats a ceramic glass surface with 1200 watts of infrared energy, so aluminum, copper, glass, ceramic and stainless all work on it. A 60-minute timer with auto shut-off and built-in overheat protection make it safe to actually walk away from.

Key Features

• Works With ALL Cookware: This is the whole argument for infrared. No magnetic base required - aluminum, copper, glass, ceramic and stainless all work.
• 1200 Watts of Infrared Heat: A 6-inch infrared burner with adjustable heat, powerful enough to boil, sear and simmer.
• 60-Minute Timer with Auto Shut-Off: Set the timer and the burner shuts itself off - genuinely useful for anything slow.
• Overheat Protection: Built-in protection that cuts power before the unit runs too hot.
• Ceramic Glass Surface: Wipes clean with a cloth - nothing to lift out, no drip pan to scrub.

Perfect For

An extra burner for holiday cooking when every ring on the stove is taken; dorms, offices, RVs, boats and rentals; outdoor and garage cooking so you do not stink up the house frying fish; and camping-adjacent setups with a generator. It is also the right choice for anyone whose favorite pans are aluminum or copper and therefore will not work on induction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this the same as an induction burner?
A: No - and that is the advantage. Induction requires magnetic cookware. This is infrared, so it works with all types of cookware including aluminum, copper, glass and ceramic.

Q: Does it turn itself off?
A: Yes. It has a 60-minute timer with auto shut-off, plus separate overheat protection.

Q: How do I clean the surface?
A: Wipe the ceramic glass cooktop with a cloth once it is cool. There is nothing to remove or disassemble.

Q: Is it powerful enough to boil water?
A: Yes - 1200 watts with adjustable heat, sufficient for boiling, searing and simmering.

Care & Use

Let the ceramic glass surface cool completely before cleaning, then wipe with a damp cloth or a ceramic-cooktop cleaner - do not use abrasive powders or steel wool, which will scratch the glass. Never immerse the unit in water. Plug it directly into a wall outlet rather than an extension cord, and keep it clear of walls and combustible surfaces while cooking.

Why Choose Brentwood Select?

Brentwood Select is Brentwood's step-up line, and the TS-381 is a good example of why it exists: infrared rather than a coil element, a real ceramic glass surface, a proper timer with auto shut-off, and a stainless housing.
