If you can't get your induction cooking eye hot enough, you have the wrong brand induction appliance.
We have two NuWave Pro 1800 watt eyes in the MH. The cooking surface extends large enough to fit a 10 or 12 inch pan. It can be set to as high as 525 degrees and will do it too. In short order, it will make any kind of cooking oil smoke in any size pan. We seldom use that high setting.
We have a Samsung induction/convection range in the stick and brick. It has four eyes of different sizes and will also get things very hot if desired.
Quick response (faster than gas) and close temperature control is what induction cooking is all about. If yours isn't doing a superb job, look at another brand. It's really the way to go.
Good Luck!
