Hi,
I've recently moved to London in the UK and brought along my trusty
cooker. It states that it requires 120V @60/1235 watts. After some
research on the net it was apparant that transformers that provide > 1000W
are at least the size of a shoebox and around $70-100. However, I later
came across a transformer sold by jWin which rates upto 1600W and is as
small as an average 100w transformer and costs about $10. You can see it
here - http://tinyurl.com/hra3r I called the shop selling them and they
confirmed the specs.... am I wasting my time? You get what you pay for
right? Any help would be much appreciated.

What sort of things do you cook with a 1235 watt cooker???. That's nearly a
third of my electric kettle!!
Do you have a 3700 W kettle? What do you use it for?
You sure the rating is not 12350 watts which would be more reasonable.
Can you please go read what's the current rating (in amps) of your
domestic energy meter? Multiply that by the nominal voltage in your
country, and you will get the max instantaneous power that your
installation is "oficially" allowed to carry. Compare that with the
number you wrote.
