Cooking Pot for NuWave?

Sure, I use a big pot on my cooktop which I think is that size. Just be sure of course that cook pot has the induction symbol on the bottom. Five quarts would be dutch oven size, and mine is taller than a DO.

Finishing a five-week trip and I've used the cook top more often than in the past (now have more RV counter space.)... beats wearing out my fingers trying to get the igniter to work on the propane burners. Plus much better temperature control. They are great for RV use, inside or out. Light weight, easy to wipe clean.

Sam's club had an induction cooktop with a set of 3? IIRC pots/pans/etc. fairly reasonably.

8 L stainless steel pasta pot with strainer and vented glass top. I use it all the time on precisely the same induction cook top. Good quality stainless steel pot with a thick base for even cooking temperatures. The induction cook top will boil 6 cups of water in less than 2 minutes. Any "ferrous" metal pot will work on an induction cook top. Ergo, not aluminum, ceramic, etc. unless clad in steel. I have seen stainless steel rings that may be used on the induction cook top with non ferrous pots however, I have no idea if or how well this option works.

Hi--we use an inexpensive enamelware pot (blue speckle) from Walmart all the time. Because it is think steel, water boils very quickly and the pot is large enough for 8-10 ears of corn at a time. Love induction cooking!

Thanks for the great replies!

I keep a small magnet in my purse so if I see a pan I'm not sure about I can check it.

Dont really want to hi jack the thread, but maybe this is important to the OP. I have a Max Burton cook top and it works great, love the induction thing. But the area that heats on it is very small. I use cast iron pots and pans mainly but there is always this hot spot in the center. Do the NuWave units have a larger cooking area? I would buy one in a heart beat if they did!

What model Max Burton do you have?
Looks like the OP's interest has a 2-3" diameter hot spot. This can be fine for some types of cooking if you plan to stand over the pot with a spoon.

Our NuWave PIC works great for us on the road. Our gas stove top has never been used.





We also use the NuWave Oven;
