Has Anyone Bought and Used the NuWave Induction Cooktop?
I've been curious if they work well and if they are worth the expense. They are induction cooktop burners. I've seen some infomercials that make them look fun. I won't post a link here because there is too much marketing on there.
Also, the buy one get one offer is a joke, by the time you pay shipping/handling for all the "free" stuff it costs a lot! I wanted one to keep the kitchen cool and save the effort of cleaning up my gas range. The dumb thing has gray porcelain burners that never look nice! Even when cleaned spot-less they have dark chipped spots. Replacement grates (black) are $100 a piece! |
Yes I have and i have 2 of them. I love them. I didn't get all the free stuff-just the cook tops. I use them all the time and i also make candles which controls the source of heat that i need. Yes you will love them.

Check the reviews on Amazon; lots of good info there. The biggest complaint I have seen is that the induction part of the burner is smaller than the burner, so only the center area of your pan is being heated even if the pan covers the entire burner. Also, you need to use the correct type of pan. Other than that, I think one would be great for the purposes you cite!

The correct type of pan is magnetic. so if you have a magnet, test it on the bottoms of ur pans and kettles. If it sticks, then its magnetic and will work on the burners.. Dont need to buy all that extra stuff if ur pots n pans are already magnetic. I even use my cast iron cookware on it and its great.

I have a glass top stove with 3 guys who all cook. sometimes guys are not as safe or clean as a woman does, so stains often remain. Im tired of cleaning old stains left on my stove, so i bought these and problem solved. Now i can quilt even more and less time in the kitchen. lol

Thanks for all the great information!

I bought something similar made by Highlander brand. It cost me $40 total and has been a good purchase. As said before, carry a magnet with you. If it sticks to the bottom of the pot it is OK to use on the cooker.

My kitchen range has the same black chipped spots. You are right, replacement costs are so high I'd be better off buying a new stove but I hate to discard a working appliance!
|
I have one and gave the second one to my daughter. I agree with everything said above. Use mine all of the time and absolutely love it. I think it was a good buy!

Thanks for the idea. I found this, is it similar to yours?
http://www.oo.com.au/1800W-Highlande...du_P132055.cfm Does it boil water really fast? Another thing that annoys me about my gas range is the grates are so far from the flame -- a lot of wasted heat and it takes forever to heat up stuff.
