Nuwave Upgraded Induction Cooktop, 3 Wattage Control, Patented Digital Temp Probe, 8”Large Heating Coil, 12”Shatter-Proof Ceramic Glass,106 Temps-Ctrl

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.

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.

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.

This thing is HUGE!! It is FAST (even on low wattage), PRECISE (210 degrees water not boiling, 215 degrees water re-boils almost instantly), EASY CLEANUP (love the smooth surface, EFFICIENT (all the heat goes into the pot/ pan instead of most of the heat being wasted, going into the room)!! Small learning curve!! I bought this stove I because of the adjustable wattage (we have an issue with breakers tripping on high wattage appliances used in our RV). On high wattage, this thing will sear meats almost faster than you can mind them!! It heats up faster and will boil water at least five times faster than regular stove eyes. This thing is the bomb!! Way better than any stove I have ever used including gas or propane!! Can’t believe I spent so many years trying to figure things out between low, medium and high!! Set this thing on 300° and it boils water like crazy in no time, even on low wattage, it is very fast!! It has been a long time since I have been this pleased with the electric appliance item. Induction is the way to go!! Even if you have to buy a few new pots or pans the time, you will save on this or make it a joy to cook!! I love using this thing!! Instead of waiting, I am cooking!! Highly recommend!! Great, build quality and great value!!

The ONLY negative I have to say about this cooker is that it seems to hate non-stick skillets, even "guaranteed" ones. I've tried my Emeril Ware (all-clad) skillets, sam's club commercial, and actual All-Clad non-sticks, and none are detected. 10 seconds of warning beeps and then e1 error, every time. All my stainless and cast iron cookware works instantly and flawlessly and I wish I had purchased one of these a long time ago. Background: We've got a lot of fantastic kitchen appliances and cookware. We cook A LOT. This summer we had an unexpected issue with our gas supply and suddenly had no capacity to use gas. While we waited on repair, I needed to be able to cook! I picked this up have honestly been blown away by it. I expected it to blow my breakers at 1800w maximum draw, but it doesn't---so that's nice. The only real adjustment for me is that I'm used to judging heat by seeing flame, just a matter of using it a few times to adjust. What I love: 1. It heats up FAST. Boils water significantly faster than my gas range, even the giant wok burner on my gas range, especially when paired with cookware that maximizes the available element use. 2. I can cook anywhere I have a plug. This is an unanticipated side effect that has been SO USEFUL. 3. Granular temp control. If you're browning butter or caramelizing onions, especially if you have other stuff going on, setting the exact temp you want for this makes it so much easier. Can't smoke your butter at 270, but you can brown it perfectly, for example. It's really nice to be able to sear meat at just-below the smoke point of my oil, then drop the temp down to ~200-225 to bring to desired internal done-ness. 4. Probe + phases is a very neat feature. We already do sous-vide, we already use wireless meat thermometers, but being able to effectively "program" phases is great. For example, for PERFECT hard cooked eggs: room temp eggs in the pot, cool water about an inch and a half above the highest egg in the pile. Set probe to auto-shutoff at 212F. Turn on, walk away. Somewhere in there maybe throw a lid on the pot. When it shuts off let it cool to comfortable-to-touch temperature then drain water and store eggs. Perfect texture with no green on yolks, every single time. 5. Incredibly easy to clean. 6. Easy to level if your cook surface isn't perfect. I just use folded paper towels. What could be improved: 1. As I said above, it doesn't like my non-stick cookware. I don't use much of it, but now I can't use any of it. I suspect that the sensor is just very sensitive as this is an 1800w, 575 degree max heater running off a 110v plug that random dummies are going to use like dummies. I will try the "nuwave" branded one, but begrudgingly. 2. The user interface is pretty cluttered, although intuitive. This is certainly geared for savvy chefs, and would probably not be the best choice for, say, older or less independent folks. They could probably be instructed to only use the quick-buttons, however--low/med/med-high. The tactile feedback on the buttons isn't great, but that's a very nerdy thing to care about. 3. Goes with number 2, but this is certainly not something I'd consider an "accessible" device. Anyone with any vision or motor impairment will struggle to use this cooker, although I imagine that's a similar issue with all such devices.

This thing is awesome. I bought it because I’m renovating my kitchen and needed something to cook on temporarily. This is so much nicer to cook on than my old gas stove. I’m amazed by the speed and efficiency, so much less wasted heat, amazingly fast warm up to cooking temp. With the gas stove, cooking a meal really heats up the kitchen. Cooking on this, it was fast and only heated the food, not the room. Even with the new kitchen and induction stove, this will be handy as a portable.

Fantastic stove. Ease of operation. Fast heat up. Easy clean up. Fantastic temp control

Great addition to my kitchen. The cooking surface heats up quickly to temp I request and works well with a pan up to 12 inches. A big plus is that only the cooking surface heats up not the whole unit. I was surprised and pleased to see all the safety features it has and how incredibly easy it is to clean. When you turn it on, it makes a noise which I wasn’t expecting. But it isn’t nearly as loud as my air fryer or even the toaster oven. One last benefit is that though it is stable & sturdy I can’t easily tuck it away after use. This seems like a great wedding present.
