Women, they are always in the market for a sweet new pan arent they. :B

We have two of the NuWave cooktops and love them. We are thinking of getting a built in induction cooktop for our S&B house. What brand and model do you have and how long have you had it? There's no better way to cook! I'm thinking about building in my two NuWave units into my camper also. I'll have to run another 120 VAC circuit, but it will be worth it!
Thanks!

We put in a Kenmore Elite induction cooktop about 2 years ago.

thanks for the info, yes, I meant induction. I was looking at the nuwave unit, sounds like a good idea for the rv. Will order for our next trip.

Yes.

We just got back from 3 weeks on the road from a trip down the Oregon coast and bought one just before we left. We used it a lot on the trip and when we got home the wife moved it onto the counter in the house. It is not a stove top but when you want to have some real percolated coffee, one pot to boil it works great. As said it doesn't heat up the rest of the trailer or house just the pot that is cooking. The Nu wave that we got is good too as it can be adjusted better for heat. A few we saw out there have larger increments so you can't fine tune your temperature as much. Watch BBB for Sale or coupons for 20% off. They put deals on the online/TV ads for them too. Just watch the shipping and handling charges.

If you are talking about the Nuwave, we have two- one for house and one for camper. We love them. You can cook quickly and the plus side is they don't heat up the house or camper like a regular cooktop or camper propane stove. They also don't take up much space. I highly recommend them.

If you mean INDUCTION.... Yes they work great with a magnetic pan. Some SS pans are magnetic.
