It may be that your cookware is no good. For safety reasons all control systems for induction appliances have a feature to automatically turn off when they detect that the generated field is not being received by a large enough target surface, since otherwise it would be a fire risk.

That's great for boiling water but not much else. If I put it on 70%, it goes on full power for 7 seconds, then stops for 3, then back on for 7 etc etc.
