Nuwave Gold Precision Induction Cooktop, Portable, Powerful Large 8” Heating Coil, 12” Shatter-Proof, Heat-Resistant Ceramic Glass Surface, 10.5” Duralon Healthy Ceramic Non-Stick Fry Pan Included

The quality of this Induction cooktop is insane. The 1800 watt setting is super powerful. I can boil water in 1 minute. The heat control is also amazing allowing you to control up to 5 degree increments at 215 water is boiling at 210 water instantly stop boiling. My favorite part is that my kitchen is so much cooler it doesn’t feel like an oven anymore. The only thing I can somewhat complain is that in videos people do not show the noise level of the fans during induction. Another thing I like is the thermometer. It is such a genius attachment made. I can cook steak now to perfect medium rare without using an instant read thermometer.

It may not be Perfect, but it's Amazing Here's a Surprise: My first Nuwave Titanium wouldn't go over 340F in Target Hold mode with the Probe, though it's supposed to. Several exchanges with Nuwave customer support ended with the suggestion to start a warranty claim. Since I bought it from Amazon only days before, I returned it there. I really wanted it to work, so I ordered another, but didn't have high hopes. Testing this one with the probe, it held water at 190F (as did the first), then Oil at 325F, and rebounded nicely after a whole small potato of French fries dragged it down to 302F. I reset the Target Hold to 375F, expecting it to stall at 340F like the first one, but it kept climbing to 375F and held that while I put the Fries back in for the second cook; it dropped to 353F (including me stirring them a bit) and didn't have time to recover because after two minutes they were sufficiently browned and I took them out. Next time I'll set it higher, maybe 385F for a bit more crispness. While it was heating to 375F I noticed the lights on the Med and High buttons were on, so, aside from the target hold temperature, the cooker was set to 375F (from a previous job), so I pushed the Sear button and it showed 575F without disturbing the Probe, which may have helped it recover better (next time I'll pay more attention). So here are some cooking jobs that make this an Amazing tool. - The best pinto beans I've ever made, using the Probe at 209F. They keep a high enough temperature to cook faster than ever without sticking or burning. On gas or electric I had to put the pot on a burner protector (those double layer metal things with holes). The temp was either too low causing very slow cooking, or too high causing sticking, and the required heat depends on where it is in the cooking cycle. - Broth with the Probe at 190F, the Timer at 8 hours, and I can just check it now and then. The steady temperature preserves nutrients by not getting too hot, and cooks at a steady pace without going below 190F. - Soups and stews, set the probe to your desired cooking temperature and it will stay that way. - Render Fat. A touchy job, and the required temperature changes during the cooking cycle, starting low and increasing, but the probe holds it at whatever I set it for, unlike the fluctuations that occur on the gas or electric stove that requires more constant attention. I just increase the Probe temp now and then as required. - Eggs, cook at a steady temperature without browning, if that is your choice. - Meat, sears at a higher temperature than even my gas stove could reach. - Homemade Tortillas or English Muffins, the griddle recovers faster after putting on a new batch, holding a higher heat than even the large burner on my Kitchen Aid gas stove (Propane). Some people have complained about the temperature pulsing too much: The Solution, turn the wattage down to the lowest setting (700 watts), so when the burner pulses it turns on with less power making a more gentle pulse. Even the Breville Control Freak manual suggests doing this. But Remember to set it back up for the next job, if that is what is required. Anyway, The Titanium with the Probe has changed the way I cook, and for the better. I also have the Changbert with 18 Temp settings, and that isn't enough, but it still does some jobs fine; like boiling coffee water VERY fast, being a great size and shape to hold a 12" square griddle for making flatbreads and English Muffins, and recovering temperature quickly when putting on a new batch, and other jobs that don't require an exact temperature, or require me to stay close to adjust it. An Induction cooker with a Probe, whether it is the Titanium, Control Freak, or another brand, is totally worth it.

This is a great induction burner. I've had others before, however I bought this because of the finer temperature control, the 8" heating coil that can heat a 12" pan, and the probe that lets me keep soup at a, say, 190 degree simmer, without the pot boiling over if it otherwise got to 205 or 212 degrees. I just got it today, and tested the basics and it quickly boils water, in a 12" pan faster than my range top infrared burners. I also bought a thin 12" silicone pad (certified up to 575 degrees) to put between the induction burner and the pan to protect the burner's surface from scratches or spills, and the steel pan heats up quickly. I've not yet tested the probe, as I'll put it in a steak, to know when the temp is 125 inside for med rare. It comes with a manual that's clearly written, and a booklet with some recipe examples. It is a comfortable weight to move when not in use, and the fan noise is like my air fryer-not bad at all. I don't like my electric 4 burner range as I'd prefer to cook with gas, and this induction burner is more like a gas burner with its fine control of temperature. If you fill out the warranty card online, you get a 5 year warranty.

The induction cooktop is a great addition to the kitchen. It heats up very quickly and cooks food evenly, which saves a lot of time. I like that it has easy-to-use controls and multiple temperature settings. The surface is smooth and easy to clean, which makes cooking less stressful. It also feels safe to use since it only heats the pot and not the entire surface. Overall, the induction cooktop is efficient, modern, and very convenient for everyday cooking.

The unit performed as it should. I haven't used it with many of the settings. It could be configured many ways to do what you need. It heated fairly quick and evenly. The cooling fan is a bit noisy. That's my only complaint. It frees up my stove top and great for supplement cooking.

works very well. happy with purchase
