Nuwave Flex Precision Induction Cooktop, 10.25” Shatter-Proof Ceramic Glass, 6.5” Heating Coil, 45 Temps from 100°F to 500°F, 3 Wattage Settings 600, 900 & 1300 Watts, Black

I have 2 of these now. The other is a larger version. I cook...a lot. These units are great. Even though I'm by myself I can run 2 at the same time depending on the situation. The smaller one is for sous vide cooking and the larger one is for bigger situations if I'm cooking in bulk. The beauty of them is that I can set the temperature, set a time, and walk away. This works great for sous vide as it shuts off automatically so I never burn anything or over cook the proteins. Great for senior citizens who have possible memory issues. Also has a wattage setting for energy saving. Do your research but these were the best I could find for the price.

I have put a lot of hours on this device. It's great in tight spaces, tucks away nicely and is easy to quickly clean off. The temperature selection is fun to experiment with, and not having combustion flames is a nice function when cooking in tight spaces. Being able to choose how many watts to use is great for managing power banks in low power scenarios. Overall I can highly suggest this cooker. Definitely get one or two.

I use this as my main cooking device when camping out of my Jeep, and it works amazingly well. It heats my pan up almost instantly, and seems to give me a nice even heat with good control.

Got this when our propane tank ran out just before holiday weekend and couldn’t get delivery for a week. It was easy to use, but I would say the quick use guide is pretty useless. Just read the slim white manual. Not sure if your pots will work with it? Check the base of your pots with a fridge or other magnet. Magnet sticks? It should work. Most heavier pots and pans will work, just not glass, aluminum, copper. Speaking of glass, be aware that cook surface is glass so no abrasive cleaners. And don’t drop it! Performance wise, I was very pleased at adjustable nature of temperature. There are 6 preset temps from low (100f) to max/sear (500f). The increments between are 175f, 275f, 375f, and 425f. The real beauty of this inexpensive unit is the + and - keys which permit Fahrenheit adjustments of plus or minus 10 degrees above or below the presets, so you can toggle to get, say, 140 degrees. That is a quality lacking in some more expensive units. Temperature adjustments feel instantaneous. Even larger pots boil much faster than electric stovetops, and I suspect faster than my gas range. For a bargain, entry unit, this beats the heck out of my old conventional single burner electric portable single burner Cuisinart. The only downsides are the not very useful quick guide, and the smallish top (10 inches round). You wouldn’t want to jostle bigger pot (allows up to 10inch pots) with hot contents as it might fall off. Perhaps a bit more attention to safety is in order when using any portable stove. Winner!

Nice quality and easy to store and transport. I bought this for cooking on while camping so I didn’t have to carry camp fuel. Much safer and It works great. You need induction pots/pans for it to work. Some of my household pans were compatible.

Brilliantly precise. Efficient. Easy to understand and operate. Using a good induction cooker, such as Nuwave, reduces electricity consumption. I've proved it. Instead of waiting >5 minutes it takes most standard electric stove tops to reach desired heat, the induction cooker generates the heat desired immediately, then it turns off immediately. Unplugging anything reduces phantom electrical draws. Initially, with my first induction cooker, a Mueller RapidTherm, which I bought from Amazon in November 2023, I struggled with which cookware was inductive (magnetic). My aluminum, copper and stainless steel cookware were useless on an inductive cooktop. So I bought a no-name brand single electric cooktop from Amazon to use as a second cooker for any pot I wanted to use. Problem is, the electric cooker takes a little while to attain the desired temperature, but I could unplug it. After two years, I've decided to go with induction and a single LP stove top with the electric cooker stored nearby. I had (I tried my new Becigar induction cookware on my new Nuwave and the results were simply superb. This is my second induction plug-in. I replaced my Mueller induction cooker, because I could control the heat so that everything boiled and on the lowest setting it simmeted. Not sure what's wrong, but it showed signs indicating shortages. I was replacing my traditional stove, a white enameled metal GE electric 4-eye stove that after about 8 years after purchase, rusted and failed. Everything metal rust in my house. I pulled and tossed the stove, reworked the wiring to account for removing the traditional stove and installing a 20 amp/120 volt outlet (not recommended for DIYers) for my plug in cookers. My goal is energy cost reduction with less costly, no fuss alternatives.

I'd often considered giving a try to an inductive cooktop, especially for emergency situations when my traditional burner-coil electric range couldn't be used. However, many of the devices out there had such an extensive list of conflicting reviews that it was hard to figure out what really did and didn't work. Eventually, I settled on the NuWave Flex PIC and picked it up as renewed, simply to have some real experience and to know where to go from here. Now that I've had a few days to give it a real run, here's what I've found for this little cooktop. Please note that my test settings were on Medium heat with the power limited to 900W instead of the full 1300W. * This cooktop uses around 30% to 50% of the energy needed by a traditional range (2200W burner). Example: In a real comparison test using a specified and equal portion of food under conditions of cold start to completion of cooking, the traditional range consumed 458Wh to cook while this cooktop consumed only 200Wh. * This cooktop heats up much faster than the traditional range. Example: An 8" skillet with a pat of butter goes from start to sizzle in 30 seconds on medium. The traditional range takes 5 minutes to do the same at medium. Example: A pan of soup takes roughly the same time to heat up as a microwave, but the microwave is at 100% power (1100W) and the cooktop is only set to Medium. The traditional range would take 2x-3x longer to heat the same amount of soup. * This cooktop can be set quickly and simply, but it can also be fine-adjusted for specific temperatures. The easy settings are slightly more involved than the 'turn it on' of the traditional range, but that's only because you need to remember to press 'start' after setting the heat. The efficiency of the cooktop alone is enough to make me prefer using it over a traditional range. Add the fact that it also cools down faster, takes up minimal space, it's portable, and the max current input is low enough to be handled through any 15A outlet, and it's an easy sell. However, there are a few drawbacks: * It doesn't like when you lift the pan. This is a safety feature, but it goes into alarm rather fast and you need to remember to check it and potentially turn it back on after you've lifted the pan. * Needs "Inductive-ready" cookware. Yes, some of your pots and pans might not work. Thankfully, induction-ready cookware is also readily available and isn't overly expensive. * Noise: The inductive cooktop has a fan to keep the electronics cooled. This means that it needs space around it for airflow and it's noisier than a traditional range. * Timer: I haven't personally used this cooktop for long cooking times, but you need to be aware that there is a default timer on this unit. If you want to use it for something that will take more than an hour, you'll want to reset the timer accordingly or the cooktop will shut off on you.

I got this because I wanted an electric teakettle that is all metal, no plastic. At the time, Amazon and the big box stores had no such thing. I got a stainless tea kettle and this induction burner. It works for that purpose. Pros: Easy to start, to set, and to change temperature. I use this to pasteurize eggs. You still need the thermometer, but it's easy to maintain the right temperature. Easy to wipe clean. I have not had a kitchen disaster such that a boil over covered the burner, let us say, home made jam. If that happened, I might feel differently as it is not immersible. I don't program it all that much, but you can set it to run for specific a time, as you can a programmable slow cooker. It beeps like a microwave when the time is up! No open flames. You can cover the lid of your pan with a tea towel or newspaper (for insulation) and not worry about it at all. Cons: There's no on/off switch. When you plug it in, it's live albeit set to zero degrees. This would be OK except sparks shoot from my outlet when I plug it in. Not wanting to risk death just to power on a burner, I plugged it into a power strip. Sadly, each time I flipped it on, the GFIC (safety fuse) on the outlet would pop and I'd have to reset it. Just how much current does this burner need to run at zero degrees???? So safety, meh. Energy efficiency, certainly not. The buttons on the control panel are hard press, covered with a protective film. The film over one of the buttons has cracked. I had a water spill onto the button, and the unit didn't work for two days. Contrary to the advertisements, the burner gets hot when it is running. It's no open flame, but I avoid touching it. Neutral: It's an induction burner. As such, - it accepts only induction ready pots and pans. - if you lift the cooking vessel, you get an error code immediately and have to reset the unit. So to tilt a pan, shake a pan, or lift it to flip whatever's in it, you have to pause the burner, do your thing, and resume. You get used to it. - When it's off, it cools quickly. You can't cook with residual heat as you might to finish eggs or pasta. You have to set the temperature to 100 degrees (the minimum setting) to simulate residual heat. You can set this thing to run for hours at a time if you want, but that's a gimmick. You'd be better served using your slow cooker. Improvements: - Add an on/off switch. - Draw less current when it is set to zero degrees. - improve film over the keypad Would I get another induction burner if this one broke? Yes. This brand? Maybe, particularly if they made the improvements.

This product works good. I’ve had it now. A while couple of years never had no trouble with it. A great piece of equipment.

Mucho mejor que cocinar con fuego. Mas rapido, mas economico, mas seguro!

Selectable power, I set it to 600w and my food not only won't burn, it cooks without sticking to the pressure cooker. The fan shuts down after use, unlike others that keep running. Customer service went out of their way to help me with a small issue. Highly recommended.

The best part about this inductive cooktop is the low to high preset buttons. It makes the cooking process easier because I don’t have to adjust the temperature from the lowest to high. It heats up the pan fairly quick and is space saving. I have been using this for more than 6 months with no issues. There are also three wattage settings which makes it energy efficient.

I bought this for camping. It will predominately run off a portable battery that is replenished with solar power or the running vehicle. So far all tests ran flawlessly. Really nice machine, uses little battery power at 600watt . Highly recommend! .
