The first thing I think about when browsing for a portable induction burner is the winter ski cabins that have electricity provided. Mac and cheese would be a breeze because water boils so fast with induction cooking. Chili and hotdogs in a snap and then go skiing, touring, snowshoeing or snowmobiling. If you take off in a hurry, no worry because this unit turns off if the pan is removed.
When winter is over and it is time for summer cookouts, the single cookers are very useful for deck parties.
The induction hot plate can be used for buffets, by the barbecue, in the dorm (if allowed) and the small studio apartment or vacation rentals. When the Holidays approach you just may need one for Holiday entertaining. The convenience of the portable induction cooktop is a plus and induction cooking is at the top for safety and energy savings.
Don't forget opening day of fishing or the RV, a good alternative that can be used inside or out while the steaks are on the barbecue. Be prepared with a portable induction cooking zone or cooktop.

paperfacets, Are there options other than full glass cooktops?
Interesting idea. I wonder whether they make any solar versions, which would be even more portable.
