Nuwave induction cooker

Thanks Don. I may get one of these.

Why the interest in Induction cook tops? Propane cooking is very efficient and there is a reason why ALL professional stoves are gas driven.

Pros:

Less heat inside RV
Faster than propane
Instant heat and temp change
Constant even heat

Cons:

Requires a pretty good electrical load, but only when actually running and the heat setting.

I have one and I have never used my propane stove since I got it.

Another Con would be the noise. Our Duxtop induction cooktop can also run with our 1000W inverter at heat level 3 (700W) and below. But it runs a fan all the time to keep the internals cool.

Another con specific to the Duxtop, is that the plastic control surface is flush with the glass top. If you pull a hot pot onto the plastic it will melt, although there is a protective cover. But ours is still operational despite being scarred.

We also have a 900W full immersion 1L electric water kettle. It's quieter than the Duxtop when just heating water. Both are very efficient electrical heaters for use when boondocking.

Like others, we use ours more when it's hot, and when boondocking and there's lots of solar.

It's nice to have options. And, I believe some of the new motor homes are all electric.
Apparently some just don't like propane.

We love our induction cook top.

We have 2 Nuwave cooktops. The big advantage is the ability to set the watts to 1500, 1000, or 600 as not to blow a fuse.

I am seriously thinking about adding a new, 20amp, home run outlet outside the TT for using both at the same time.

I like mine for frying stuff outside.

If you are going to add a new sircuit for an RV hookup, go ahead and make at lease a 30A circuit.

he is talking about a New outlet in the TT wiring from the breaker panel to the outside of the tt, to cook with the induction cooker outside
(a 'home run' is from the circuit breaker panel, a new circuit..its electrician speak)
