Nuwave PIC Double Portable Induction Cooktop, 900W/1500W/1800W Options

I just love an induction top that works well. Heats quickly and has the induction top safety. This one has temperature settings and thermostats, not just numbers, and that's really nice. Comes with a little book recommending temperatures for different cooking purposes. In the Eastern US, where most state parks have electricity, it works great as a camp stove. Very easy to carry around. Great purchase.

I have an old gas stove which the top is starting to cave on. Rather than spending approx. $5000 to replace it, I found these to be the perfect solution.... I live alone & don't do serious cooking so various appliances do the job for me. This set included an additional 3rd burner & is great because I didn't have to do any electrical modifications. It would have been necessary for me to run a 220 line for the 4 burner units. 3 burners is plenty for me so that's a cost savings too. These units are easy to operate, easy to clean. I can use some of my existing stainless steel pots on them, although I purchased a small set of induction cookware just in case. Fits well on any countertop. The portability is great for traveling & makes it nice to save money on eating out all the time. The burners & pot get hot only when an item is cooking but is safer for curious pets than traditional burners. The temperatures are accurate. The unit heats quickly to the desired temperature & cools down quickly when not in use.. Easy to operate & clean. I chose this set because it came with the additional 3rd burner that has its own carrying case..

I might have got the last one amazon had the only issue was on the sides there was some cosmetic damage to the unit which has not affected the performance of the unit at all. I have not had this long enough but so far this is a game changer when it comes to speed of cooking and ease of cleaning it. I should have purchased one a long time ago. Update;;;;;;; I did not realize this was a return item until I went to register the warranty on it. This would explain why it had cosmetic damage. I would not have purchased this if I had caught it was a return with no warranty on it. That was my MISTAKE.

For a couple of years I've been using a single Nuwave induction cooktop as a way to test my induction readiness. I've enjoyed it so much that I wanted to expand to a larger model. It works well and is very easy to clean. The ventilation is slightly better than it was for the single, but I wish the feet were raised a bit higher to further improve airflow and avoid liquid spills getting near the fans underneath. It's easy to switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius. The controls are super touch sensitive, maybe a bit too much. The set feels very stable and safe. Usability wise I don't love the combined on/off button for both sections. If you have two pots on but only want to cook one, it's very difficult to tell what is off and what is cooking. I wish there was a bigger visual clue than a blinking ":"

OMG probably the best purchase in the last few years. My gas range is old and the burns don't work correctly even after cleaning burner vents. The first time I used this I was sold. SOOOOOOO HAPPPPPY

The Good: Easy to Use - Plug it into any outlet, turn it on and cook. Easy to Clean - Just wipe off the surface. Performance - Incredibly fast heating of food. Can boil water faster than any stove I've ever used before. Portable - If I'm searing a steak and going to smoke out the house, simply take it to the front porch! Efficient - Can reduce the power usage from 1800W to 900W with the push of a button if I want to use a coffee pot or microwave that's on the same circuit. Then when I'm done with that, put again to take the burner back up to 1800W. Surprisingly useful. Cons: Requires that you use the right cookware, if a magnet will stick to the pot, it'll work. Overall: I don't usually write reviews, but this device is so amazing that yea, it deserved one. I'd recommend it and I'd buy it again.

I am testing this new cook top to determine its cooking characteristics. I mainly use cast iron, steel, or magnetic attracting stainless steel cookware. I attempted to heat and control the temperature of two similarly sized fry pans on both burners. The pans are 8 inches in diameter placed on the centers of both burners of this double burner cook top. I set the temperature to 100 degf on both sides and pressed start. The burner on my left as facing the cooktop rose to about 365 degF. The burner on the righ rose to about 225degF. I waited less than 5 minutes to make the assessment. Since the pans are not identical I switched their positions to investigate whether the differences in setpoint and controlled temperature is pan related. I found the left hand burner to be much higher in temperature than the other, about the same variation, so, the differences probably are not pan related. I then tried a higer temperature. The results were the same, the left burner controls at a higher temperature than the right burner even with the pan switch and the temperature setpoint of at 350degF. I guess that the control temperature diiferences are due to a combination of lack of calibration, sensor placement, and non precision components. I had high hopes that this cooktop would be of a higher quality with great temperature control. Putting water into the pans would not be appropriate because the water would boil and the differences in heat input would be immaterial. I will try the test using a weighed amount of water, use the same pan, and time the heating at the same temperature, on both sides, for the same amount of time, and then weigh the water to see if the left burner heats more than the right burner. The higher heating burner should have less water, and I should be able to determine the difference in power input between sides. Right burner 300degF for 10 minutes starting weight 1755 grams, end weight 1600 grams, loss of 155 grams weight. On the right hand burner the starting weight was 1755g, the end weight after 10 mins 1610 g the difference is 145 grams. 10 grams difference is possible due to experimental differences like initial pan temperature, scale inaccuracy, and timing inaccuracy, so the burners are balanced as concerns heat input. So using a fry pan and expecting exact temperature control is not possible with this cooktop. I admit it is a pretty nice cooktop, nonetheless. The timing mechanism works well, Now to try one of those 100 recipes!

This was to replace the kitchen stove. Not only did it replace the stove it allowed the chance to try making candy. The variable temperature capability allowed setting a temperature and knowing soft ball was soft ball. Cast iron is the favored utensils and now temperature control prevents burning due to carry-over heat.

It’s was return a day after I received the item coz it’s not working here in UAE. Pls send back my money refund
