Induction Cooktop opinions

If you're interested in the Nuwave and you're not in a hurry, watch the site and the TV for deals. I see different combos on sale all the time.
We have 2 and use the one at home quite a bit, but we only use the RV unit when we cook outside normally. They work well and the only drawback for us is that we only have one small cooking pot that will work on it. We use cast iron for frying so no problem there.

Thanks for the help with the induction cooktop purchase. I am really leaning to getting one. If anyone is interested, QVC will be featuring the Nuwave model as a TSV, on Wednesday, the 28th of August. I don't know the price or accessories package. I will be watching for the demonstrations.

I just bought my second induction burner so I wouldn't have to keep moving my first one from house to RV.

The newest one is the Nuwave 2 from BB&B. It goes from 100 to 575 degrees F and uses only 1300W. No problem melting chocolate or searing. Great features and user friendly. Mt first one is 1300W also and has a wide range of temps but not as broad as the Nuwave.

Plenty of induction cookware out there. Take a magnet or look on the bottom of cookware for the induction symbol.

I don't like frying inside the camper either....we got a NuWave last month...works as advertised....makes great fried chicken although their recipe calls for too much oil...GL

My induction cook top can be set for watts or temperature. For example; set it for 250* and the pot will never get hotter than that.

It's 1300 watts max, which sounds like it's low power but isn't. I just deep fried some fish using a cast iron dutch oven and peanut oil. It took very little time to get the oil up to 350* and held at 350 with that temperature programmed in. Sweet! I didn't have to worry about the oil getting too hot or adjusting when the oil cooled off after adding the fish.

I cook mostly outside on the picnic table . I have a NuWave like they sell on TV , but bought mine from Bed, Bath, and Beyond at a much better price . I like the idea that I can plug it in to any 15 - 30 amp line at the post and cook with great temperature control . It works on low power / temps or a high temperature to fry or sear .

Place a piece of newspaper or a paper towel between the cook surface and the pan , and there is no mess .

I use the induction portable and the microwave / convection . If I was ordering a new RV , it would not have a factory cook top .

Some of the best cooks and receipes are found in campgrounds !

I was going to post a new topic about pan-frying a steak tonight and saw this........Ours has settings from #1 to #15. Lots of room for different recipes.

Anyhoo, I don't like to pan-fry a steak, fish or anything INSIDE the house. It smells for a day+. So, I have our magnetic induction plate outside. Salted the one inch thick steaks on both sides an hour before hand. Set plate on #15 and placed cast iron pan on top. Waited 5 minutes. Brushed real maple syrup on one side and slapped steak into pan. Waited 2 minutes, brushed syrup on other side and flipped over. 2 more minutes and.......Nirvana.

Occasionally, I like to simmer a pot of red sauce. Will it be able to go that low to simmer for long periods of time??

Making a big pot of sauce is a sure-fire way to warm up an RV!

We have a Max Burton in the MH. Also have a full size range in house that is also induction. They are comparable in their operation. Biggest difference in 2 is full size range has bigger burners. Beyond that DW uses the one in MH a lot. Keeps the heat down in MH. Plus cooks very well.
For pots and pans DW got most of hers from IKEA.

We just bought a Burton induction cook top.
Only used a few times so far. It has adjustable cook temps and power setting.
