Real people, real stories

Meet cooks who
made the switch.

No power, no problem.

After a weekend storm, a cook woke up to no power. No electricity meant no coffee machine.

But then, they remembered they had a Charlie.

They started up Charlie, heated a pot of water for a pour-over, and said it barely made a dent in their battery (about 2%, to be exact). As they put it, “two people could live on this thing for a good while.”

What cooks say about the range they love

Keep on cooking

"We like that the battery allowed us to cook during a power blackout caused by a recent windstorm."

Idris H.

Consistent & precise

"With induction there's just so much more consistency. You know what you're getting, you're turning it to a certain number."

Alyssa C.

Battery included

"The oven and stove are accurate and fast! So easy to clean. Great that it runs on a battery for our flakey power grid."

Adjustable charging

"We are living off grid and have adjusted the power download to battery to coincide with sun on the panels."

How it works

A battery changes everything

Induction stoves need a lot of power, for short periods of time.

Charlie uses a built-in battery to give you that power when you need it. Its default is to charge when renewable energy is likely available, so you're always ready to cook.

Charlie's also got your back when the power goes out, with enough on board power to cook 3-5 meals.

How it works

Now we're cooking (with magnets).

Induction cooktops use electromagnetic energy to directly and quickly heat cookware. When an induction-compatible pan is placed on the cooktop, the inductor generates heat within the pan's metal, resulting in rapid and efficient cooking.

Induction cooking is safe.

No open flame means no risk of accidental burns or noxious fumes that have been tied to developing respiratory illnesses and cognitive decline.
With Charlie, there is no accidentally turning a burner on. Turning the knob requires an intentional push inwards.
If a cooking zone is turned on and no compatible cookware is detected, nothing happens. Charlie's cooktop remains cool and safe to touch.
Charlie's cooking zones automatically turn off if no cookware is detected after 20 seconds.
