Anyone have a Nuwave cooktop & do you like it
Trying to decide if it is worth the money, or would a regular hotplate work just as well.

I find the following:
1. The stovetop is exceptional. It does everything the advertising says. The temperature control and timer are the best I have seen.
The temperature goes from 100F to 575F, and does it quicker than any energy source I have seen. It’s so quick that it is almost scary. The timer goes to 99 hours and 59 minutes. Among other things, it can be used as a slow-cooker.
The learning curve is that the temperature is so precise and fast that you can burn things before you become friendly with using the temperature settings correctly.
2. The sauce/fry pans with the special offer are described as non-stick. That is only partially so. The surface is described as ceramic non-stick. Stuff will stick, but not as much as with cookware that is not described as non-stick. I have found it necessary to soak a pan in water with dishwashing detergent to clean the pans with a soft nylon brush. This is a disappointment for RV use with its general limited water supply.
3. I got the cast iron grill with my unit. It is a different story from the fry pans. It is porcelain covered cast iron. It is almost, but not quite non-stick. It cleans up quickly by soaking while it cools.
The NuWave allows you to heat it to 575F, and is direct competition for gas and charcoal grills for things like steak, fish, and chicken. We grilled hamburger steak, stuffed celery, and tomatoes for supper tonight with great success.
4. We got two units with the special offer, and we like them so much that one is for the MH and one is for the stick house. Being able to use the unit inside and outside is a great plus.
5. The only down side is that I think you need to get better induction cookware to get the full advantage from this induction cooktop. I am looking at Circulon Infinite cookware for this unit.
Good Luck!
