induction cookware

since that subject occasionally pops up here, I saw a cooktop and three pots/pans combination at Sam's club for $99.99. Seems a lot cheaper than ones previously discussed here.

  • I'm just going by the ad copy. The box they come in has the induction symbol on it. Copy says made out of aluminum, stainless and glass. Stainless could be the handles for all I know. Saw them in the store and noted the price and googled them later to see if they could be found cheaper. As Bumpy stated, 3 piece is probably all that's needed with limited storage while on the road. Just thought I would throw it out there as an option.
  • Ikea can't be beat for induction pans of all sizes. Teflon or plain stainless at an excellent price. We're headed back for another set next week. We love our induction cooktop.

    Hi,

    Nuwave is now doing 5 degree f increments with a larger "cooking" area.

    I love my Nuwave.

    5*F increments............THAT is really nice
    I bought the Burton to try out because of the larger cooking area.
    And for boiling water quickly, maintaining oil temp etc. it works great.

    Just wish it had temp adjustment vs the pre-set temps.

    Now that I like the induction cooking and Nuwave has larger cooking area with the temp adjustment I just might have to splurge

  • Like others have said as long as a magnet sticks you're fine.

    I suspect the chances of me buying pots specifically for my induction cook top are pretty low. And I can't help admitting I smell a bit of a marketing ploy with the term "induction cookware":).

    Will those work? They are aluminum. I thought the cookwear had to be something a magnet would stick to.


    and as I previously pointed out, the set at sams was for 3 utensils plus the cooktop for the same money. gotta really be a chef to need a 10 piece setup on the road.

  • Link takes me to 10 pc. Aluminum cookware set.
    Now I read the ad and it states can be used on Induction Cooktop but unless there is some ferrous metal mixed in with that aluminum or part of bottom of pan it will not work on Induction Type Cooking.
    Aluminum is not magnetic.....well at least in the normal sense.

    There is a ferrous metal plate that can be used between cooktop and non-ferrous pans BUT efficiency is cut way down

  • Any 'magnetic' pot/pan will work just fine on any induction cooker

    NuWave seems to have captured the market but many others are out there.

    Duxtop 8300, Burton 6000 or 6200, Fagor 6700 have really good reviews.

    I have a Burton 6200............it is FAST, maintains set temp and has wide cooking surface. BUT has 10 pre-set temps vs adjustable temp settings which is what NuWave uses (10*F increments)

    Pricing is coming down on ALL of the portable units.
