Features

  • MAKE ADJUSTMENTS ON-THE-FLY Want hotter temperature or need to cook it longer? No problem. Simply adjust on-the-fly any time. Starting the cooking process over is not necessary. Gold induction cooktops intuitive digital controls are easy to operate, and the response is immediate.
  • 51 PRE-PROGRAMMED TEMPS - Select from the 6 convenient preset temperature settings or fine tune your own temperature from 100F to 575F in 10F increments. You can also add or deduct cooking time at any time.
  • SHATTER-PROOF CERAMIC GLASS There are no open flames or hot coils that can cause burns.

  • Brings the joy back to cooking!
Style: Cooktop
This review is for the NuWave Gold Precision Induction Cook-top (PIC). I received the unit in excellent condition; no visible damage to external packaging and it arrived on the scheduled date; excellent work NuWave/Amazon. I unpacked the NuWave and reviewed the instructions. Other than the slight odor from the first few uses, as is stated in manual, I have had no problems with the unit so far. I have to say the NuWave Gold PIC is by far so much easier to control the cooking process than the almost new Frigidaire gas range that came with my current home. While that range has control knobs that rotate from Off, Lite, Hi, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and Lo over 195 degrees of rotation; Hi to Lo only covers 115 degrees and only the last 15-20 degrees (2 to Lo) makes any change in the burner flame. My local gas supplier confirmed this is very common for consumer gas ranges. The NuWave is much more like using an electric range such as the GE model I had in my previous home; back when I enjoyed cooking. The last 20+ years, cooking has been more of a chore. Not anymore. I can hardly wait for the next chance to use the NuWave. Plus, given the recent news about home air quality and natural gas ranges potentially going away; I decided it was time to try induction. Since receiving the NuWave my existing gas range has literally become additional counter-space as I haven't used its cook-top at all. Although I saw a number of reviews indicating the keyboard cover deteriorates over time/use; the features and price put the NuWave Gold at top of my list. I'm hoping this problem doesn't show up for several years of use. It would be great if NuWave made the PIC with a better or user replaceable keyboard cover; but that's not offered at this time. I selected the NuWave Gold primarily because it offered the larger cooking surface (I frequently use 7” and larger cookware) compared to other induction units AND more importantly it had 10 degree temperature adjustments. Others I looked into typically had 20 or so settings for cooking and a lot of reviewers grumbled about that; NuWave Gold (and Flex) has around 50. Granted the NuWave Gold does have 6 predetermined temperature settings; but all can be adjusted via the +/- buttons. I have noticed that all but the low preset button will initially display an xx5 temperature value and the 5F part will be dropped once a +/- button is pressed. After that, the display will show temperature by 10's until a setting other than low is again selected. I was so pleased with cooking my first batch of bacon on the NuWave. I started on the Medium selection; but the sizzle was bit too fast. I lowered the temp by 20 degrees and had a wonderful cooking temp that made near perfect bacon. The built-in count-down timer is an excellent feature. It is so convenient to adjust the time so the NuWave will shut down after my preset cooking time is complete. However, I haven't quite figured out how to apply the programmable feature. I understand how to use it; but there's no way to tell if the food has come to a boil or reached a required cooking temp. Or when it's time to reduce the heat and simmer or stay warm. My best guess, since there's no temperature probe like with my microwave, is that you have to monitor a prior cooking process once or twice and record the time it takes. Hopefully your cookware selection and recipe volume doesn't vary by much so that the time you learn works out properly. Plus the program is deleted once power is removed from the NuWave. It would be great to have them remain; especially if could enter say up to ten different user programs. In anticipation of the NuWave, I also purchased new cookware set. A Tramontina HA aluminum, induction ready, ceramic coated set, with insulated handles. It's a beautiful cookware set; but when I started using them on the NuWave they didn't seem to heat up very quickly. Performance was similar to using my old Pampered Chef HA aluminum non-induction cookware on the gas range. Fast heating is supposed to be one of the key benefits of induction cooking. So I set up a comparison with my old stainless cookware that readily passed the magnet test. To compare each piece of cookware, I placed a one inch depth of fresh tap water in the pot/pan with a starting temp ~ 55-60F. I then used a Fluke 87 Mark V multimeter with a type K thermocouple for the temperature measurements. The thermocouple rested in the upper 1/4” of the water in the center of the pan. I used a Poniie PN1500 energy monitor for the wattage readings. All tests used the NuWave on it's maximum “Sear” setting. Time was measured using the countdown feature of the NuWave. The SS dia column refers to the stainless diameter on the bottom of the pot/pan in inches; a similar inch measurement was made for the overall bottom diameter. Obviously the volume of water in each pan varied; but notice the consistency in the heating times and how the wattage reduced according to SS dia. Test results are as follows: Vessel Manu SS dia Bottom diameter Wattage Mins to 180F Water Vol 1.5qt sauce Tra 4-7/8 5-3/16 536-573 7+ 1.5c 3qt sauce Tra 5-1/8 6-1/2 745-771 7+ 2.5c 4.5qt saute' Tra 8-1/8 9/1/4 1200-1256 7+ 5.75c 5qt dutch Tra 6-3/8 7-3/4 1065-1118 6+ 3.75c 8” skillet Tra 5-1/8 6 705-748 8+ 2.75c 10” skillet Tra 5-13/16 7 955-1014 7+ 4c 1/2qt sauce Unk 3-3/4 NA 785-818 2+ 1c 1qt sauce Unk 4-1/2 NA 964-972 2+ 1.5c 2qt sauce Unk 6 NA 1225-1248 2+ 2.25c 4qt pot Unk 7-1/2 NA 1417-1468 3+ 3.5c 5qt dutch Unk 8-1/4 NA 1501-1530 4+ 4c 8.75” skillet Unk 7-1/2 NA 1487-1505 3+ 3.75c 11” sq griddle Green NA 10-1/2 1305-1345 4+ 3c My old stainless set dated from 1980's and was simply marked “stainless Korea” on the bottom. They appeared to be made from 20 gauge material and are fairly light weight pots/pans. I also recently purchased a GreenPan griddle with it's Magneto induction coating and added it to the results. However it could not be filled with 1” layer of water – about 3/8” was all it would hold. Notice how much lower the wattage is and the longer heating times on the Tramontina cookware compared to a similar size SS diameter stainless item. Clearly the very thin “holey” SS bottom panel is not designed for optimum heat transfer on the Tramontina cookware. This was confirmed via discussion with a NuWave representative – thicker SS will work far better. My magnet test also confirmed the Tramontina cookware had a much weaker “pull” vs the old SS cookware. While the GreenPan griddle also had a somewhat weak magnetic “pull”, it's Magneto performance was clearly much better than the Tramontina cookware design. The data clearly shows how well the NuWave PIC is protecting itself with the smaller size cookware and their poorer induction power absorption by reducing output power. What struck me odd is, as the volumes of water varied with each piece, the heating times remained relatively constant within the same cookware sets. While the commonly used “induction compatible” or “induction ready” statements by manufacturers are true; they are clearly not always the most efficient design to use with induction cooking. I'd like to see a “induction optimized” marking for cookware that gets the most efficiency out of induction heating. This “induction optimized” cookware should work as well and heat as fast as good stainless performs on an induction cook-top (consumer testing labs are you reading this?) My takeaway from all this testing is that you should buy good heavy stainless cookware with a strong magnetic attraction for use with the NuWave. The NuWave will perform it's best with that type of cookware; and make you much happier using it. One other thing I'll mention. The NuWave Gold model is fairly large and uses a good bit of counter-space. So when it is not in use, I created a simple wooden stand to hold the unit vertically on it's back edge (see pics). Most wall cabinets are 16” above the counter-top and the Gold will fit nicely at the back of the counter when standing vertical. Please note; NuWave does not offer any stand like I'm describing. I used two 3-1/2 x 8 x 3/4” wood pieces for front and back of the stand. The NuWave Gold uses a 12-3/8” diameter for the 1” thick top section and a 12” diameter for the 1-5/8” thick main body down to the counter-top. I added an extra 1/16” to these two thicker measurements for a felt liner in my stand design. Both of these thick wood pieces were cut from a 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 x 8”. The larger diameter arc was centered 1/2” in from the bottom edge of the 1-1/16” piece. The smaller diameter arc was centered 11/16” in from the bottom edge of the 1-11/16” piece. Arcs were cut on a band saw. The three thinner pieces (two 3/4” pieces and the 1-1/16” piece) were then squared up as a complete assembly; thru holes marked/drilled into these, 3/4” in from ends and 3/4” up from the bottom . One of the 3/4” front/back pieces accepts 1-1/4” long wood screws securing it to the 1-11/16 piece. I used 2-1/2” long wood screws to secure the remaining 3/4” front/back piece thru the 1-1/16” piece and into the 1-11/16 from the opposite side. Felt pieces were cut to fit the stand interior sides and bottom (curved pieces). A spray adhesive was used to attach the felt to the inside of the stand. The stand is simple, stable, and secures the NuWave Gold very well. Hopefully my idea benefits your use of the NuWave and your counter-space. In summary, I would absolutely buy the NuWave Gold again. I'm currently mulling over if I covered my range top with a piece of counter top; then I could buy a second Gold unit, make another stand, have two cook surfaces, and even more usable counter-space! My enjoyment for cooking has returned! ... show more

  • Great, except no available temperature works with my pressure cooker
Style: Cooktop
ORIGINAL REVIEW: I got this to use instead of my unvented gas stove, and was delighted with it until today. (I set it on a sturdy bamboo cutting board that I set on one side of my gas stove.) It heats up quickly and I love knowing I'm not breathing a lot of yucky emissions. It has six preset temperature settings, and also + and - buttons you can use to change the temperature by ten degrees. (In some cases, the change turns out to be five degrees.) Today I tried it for the first time with the pressure cooker I use weekly and discovered that the temperature I need is not available. My (Fissler) pressure cooker (which I love) has a "traffic light" system: yellow means insufficient pressure; green means proper pressure for cooking; red means pressure is too high. Well, wouldn't you know: 220 degrees F. causes the traffic light to go too high into the red zone, but 210 degrees F. causes the traffic light to sink into the yellow, and not near where it would change to green, either. I may return this, if still possible, or I will sell to my neighbor at a discount and try again. I am committed to induction cooking and plan never to turn my gas stove on again. Hoping to find an induction cooker whose temperature can be changed five degrees at a time, or even one degree. UPDATE: I originally gave this three stars, but then I discovered that pretty much every induction cooktop can be changed in 10-degree increments only; some can be changed only in 25-degree increments. There is one that can be changed one degree at a time, but it costs $1500 and is poorly reviewed for other reasons. Finally I found one, from this same maker, labeled as commercial grade, that can be changed in 5-degree increments. I have ordered one, will sell the first one to my neighbor, and am crossing my fingers that 215 degrees F. will be okay for my pressure cooker. ... show more

  • Love it!
Style: Cooktop
Bought this burner to try out induction cooking and cut down on my fossil fuel consumption. Having used it daily for a month, I can honestly say that it has exceeded virtually every expectation. It heats as fast as my beloved, big brawny Wolf gas stove, and the heat adjustment feels just as responsive. The controls are intuitive, and it's possible to time the cooking, which my gas stove does not do. Cleanup is a breeze, no nooks or cracks for spills to get stuck in. The unit is 12" wide and 14" deep but thin enough to store in a drawer when not in use. It makes a soft whirring noise when cooking and a small, unobtrusive beep when the pan is removed from the heat. Only small drawback is that large (more than 10" across) pans don't get direct heat. And of course it only works on magnetic cookware. Using our solar roof panels, I now cook with most of the advantages of gas and no energy bills! ... show more

  • Fantastic - Simply put
Style: Cooktop
I have been using this to decide if I want to go with full induction for my existing gas cooktop. I have now found that having an extra cook area off the stove for things like pasta , eggs, and others non- frying needs frees up the stove top when an exhaust fan is not needed. This device is precise and if you have not used induction before will be a game changes and show you how to do precision cooking. ... show more

  • Verry impressive!
Style: Cooktop
I wanted to look at alternatives to my alcohol stove that I use on my boat. I saw many boat/van life YouTube folks using induction cooktops and figured that I’d give one a try. Although there are many options for induction cooktops, this Nuwave cooktop seemed to be the size and power that I wanted. I’ve used it several times and I have nothing but good things to say about this unit – the pan heats up incredibly fast and you have excellent temperature control – WOW, I (we) love this thing! Time will tell how durable it is. ... show more
