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.
Forum Discussion
I have just posted this on another forum and thought you may enjoy it.
Update!
I have now cooked with the NuWave for a few weeks and offer the following:
The cook top is all that was advertized, and I consider induction cooking to be superior to any stovetop system available. Of course the cook top must be of good quality, and the NuWave has proven to be so.
I got the set with two cook tops, a set of food storage containers, and a cooking set that included two skillets. The skillets are sold to be non stick, but one was the worst sticking pan I have ever used. It was seasoned 10 times according to instructions, but always had the same bad sticking situation, and the company wouldn’t replace it.
The other skillet is pretty good at being non stick, but not perfect. The food storage containers are vacuum type containers and are excellent.
The other part of the included cook set is a fondue pot system. I’ll never use it for that – maybe as a steamer for vegetables or lobster.
The whole experience pointed to getting a new cook set because the one with the cook top purchase wasn't complete and its quality is less than desired. Since none of my cook ware was induction capable, I had no choice but to get new stuff. I elected to get a complete cook set because it was less expensive than buying separate pieces for my purpose. Of course the new cook set had to be induction capable.
Advice No 1!
Don’t buy the offer with the cook set. Just get the stove tops and acquire your own induction cook ware!
After a lot of research, I selected Circulon Symmetry. It has the latest Du Pont non stick surface and is guaranteed to be dishwasher safe and safe for use with metal utensils. I don’t do either of these things with this cook ware.
It is, without question, the best cook ware I have ever used. It is the most non stick cook ware I have ever used and does great on the induction cook top.
Advice No 2!
This isn’t a commercial for Circulon, but advice that if you want to do induction cooking, it deserves the best cook ware you can find. I have every reason to believe that there is other cook ware out there that will also do a superior job with induction cooking. Just look for it!
This Circulon set will stay in the stick and brick house because of storage considerations in the MH. I have another cook set for the MH that I haven’t tried yet. I’ll report on it after the next trip – starting in a few days.
Good Luck!
