Induction Burner

Ozzie_Isaac

I have a GE electric cooktop.  I hate it.  It temperature cycles to much for good sauté or sauce making.

Wife said "Hey, try an induction burner" .... its been on my list for a while, but never mentioned it to her.

Anyone have any recommended induction burners?

I can't help with a recommendation for a cooktop unit, but I do have a portable induction burner I use mostly outside.  I give a wholehearted thumbs up to induction.  I really like how you set the temp you want and it holds it.

I have two portable eyes. The cheap one is the one I really like. NuWave

I don't appreciate you bad mouthing The General like that.  

I was going to recommend Jason, but he chimed in already.

A Neighbor who is a chef that designs meals for restaurants has several of the NuWave units at his house.  He has an induction cooktop with 5 "burners" but I am not sure of the manufacturer.  Great devices!

Thanks guys.  Nuwave is on its way.

My stovetop is induction. It's very nice, and response time is very quick.

That is my long term plan.  I have an electric smooth top that is good for boiling water and that is it.

I initially wanted to swap in a gas cooktop, but was not looking forward to replumbing gas.  If induction works even reasonably well then I will go that route.

My Duxtop rocks, compliments the gas I will never stray from.

We have one of these and it's excellent.  For when you need it.  We have a gas range in the kitchen and a powerful AC to remove the excess heat.  The induction is efficient and fast.

This is my other one. I like the SV function, but I don't like the temp settings. Can dial the Nuwave in to a specific temp on the induction rather than low med high etc.

We bought the Nuwave one shown earlier in this thread when we remodeled our kitchen. It died two weeks after the warranty ran out.

That is the problem with these, not specific to any brand.  I bought on amazon with extended warranty and am getting a refund instead of dealing with the manufacturer.  Died in nine months

That's dang near the one we've been looking at. Currently everything around here is natural gas, so obviously I want something different!

I have a Bosch induction cooktop and love it. Wanted gas but didn't want to replumb the kitchen and add a propane tank. I think induction was the better choice.
