  Excellent Induction add-on to your kitchen

  I can't say I'm a huge fan of induction cooking - the caveman in me will always prefer fire - but for holidays and family gatherings where I never seem to have enough burners, this induction cooktop has earned a spot.For me, the standout feature is the dual cooking zones. I like that I can hold a sauce at a gentle simmer on one side while bringing a stockpot to a rolling boil on the other. The separate controls and displays make it easy to manage both without costantly second-guessing temps. I particularly like how the unit lets you dial in specific temperatures rather than forcing you into vague "low, medium, high" settings.The build quality is excellent and the seamless glass surface feels pretty premium. It cleans-up easily and gives the unit a more integrated look than some of the other induction cooktops I've used. The heating is impressively even which really helps me manage my cooks.For my use, this won't replace my range, but it does help expand it. I almost always have the need for an additional burner or two during the holidays and this one is a welcome addition. The preset cooking programs are handy and the staged cooking feature is an interesting idea, though I'm not sure I will make full use of that with my cooking style.It is worth noting that this cooktop can be a bit of a power hog if you're running both burners at full simultaneously. Make sure you're not plugging it into the same circuit as your microwave or other high power appliance. Otherwise, expect you might blow a GFI or breaker.Overall, this is definitely one of the better portable induction cooktops I've used. It is highly versatile, well-built, easy to use, and easy to clean. I'm finding it extremely practical when extra cooking capacity is needed. So for anyone who entertains, cooks large meals, or simply wants more burner space, the Nuwave is an easy recommendation

  very useful

  I’ve been looking for a reliable way to expand my cooking space when hosting large family dinners, and also wanted something portable enough to use out on the patio or take along in the RV. I decided to try out this Nuwave PIC Double Pro induction cooktop, and it has turned out to be a really sensible and handy addition to my cooking gear. It offers two independent heating zones on a single plug, making it a much more practical setup than trying to manage multiple individual hot plates.The design of the cooking surface is easily one of its best features. Unlike older models that have plastic borders or raised seams around each burner, this unit features a single, seamless sheet of ceramic glass across the entire top. If a pot of soup bubbles over or some grease splatters, there are no tight crevices or gaps for the food to get baked into. You can literally just wipe the entire flat surface down with a damp cloth once it cools off, which makes cleanup incredibly fast and hassle-free. The touch controls are built right into the glass and are highly responsive, even if your fingers are a little damp while prepping ingredients.Performance-wise, it delivers the typical speed and precision that makes induction cooking so appealing. It heats up pans almost instantly and lets you dial in the temperature with great accuracy. The dynamic wattage sharing is a really smart safety feature to note. Since both burners run off a standard single outlet, the system automatically manages the power distribution between the two zones so you don't accidentally trip your home's circuit breaker. It means you can't run both sides on absolute maximum power at the exact same time, but the unit handles the balance so smoothly behind the scenes that you barely notice it during normal daily cooking.One minor thing to keep in mind—which is true for all induction cooktops—is that you have to use compatible magnetic cookware like cast iron or induction-ready stainless steel for it to work. It’s als

  Shattered!

  Arrived a few days ahead of schedule, but the glass cooktop surface arrived shattered, with broken shards of glass everywhere. The item came in a Nuwave carton, apparently packaged by the factory. However, there was minimal cushioning around the cooktop. Possibly a heavier item had simply been stacked on top of it during transit. I returned the cooktop immediately. Hopefully, it will be available in the future at a decent price, and the company will by then have figured out that fragile glass surfaces need a bit better packaging.

  Love it!

  My previous Nuwave single burner died after many years of use. I'm absolutely loving this one with two burners. It's worth every penny and so easy to use.

  The weaker little brother to a full-time inductive cooktop.

  Considering it has two burners and runs on 120 volt, 15-amp house current makes it very useful for those of us that do not have 240-volt service. I found it interesting to note that it states it runs at 1800 watts because a 15-Amp circuit is only capable of producing 1500 watts. This must be where the "wattage technology" comes into play. Overall, it does a great job considering the handicap of running on only 120 volts. Technology aside, the first time I used it, I didn't get the result I was hoping for. I was using both burners at the same time with the default setting which is 275 degrees at `800 watts. Compared to my gas cooktop, it took forever to cook my food. In terms of time, I had to add twenty minutes to cooking my omelet and hash browns. Not being one to give up, I experimented with the wattage setting and the temperature setting learning what works and what doesn't. Here is a quick breakdown of what works. Preheat the pan you are using as this step saves a bunch of time. If using both burners, do not pause one to get the other to cook faster because switching to one burner cuts the wattage used in half. In other words, 1800 watts becomes 900 watts, big difference in terms of heat recovery. Always use at least a tiny amount of oil because the oil transfers the heat to the food quickly. Don't bother increasing the temperature in the hope it will cook faster because the burner stays on until it reaches that temperature but increasing that temperature doesn't increase the rate at which the food cooks as long as it remains below that set temperature. It reminds me of the guy that believe his AC will cool faster if he sets the thermostat lower. The AC can't increase its maximum rate of cooling and is either on or off depending upon the temperature it is set to achieve. You can get creative with the wattage settings which do seem to affect the cooking rate but it isn't a one-to-one change. There are times when it seems one burner is no longer heating even thoug

  Worth every penny.

  After years of cooking with induction, my new apartment has an electric cook top. Besides the painfully slow warmup and excess heat going into the kitchen air instead of the pot, I just couldn't get my pans hot enough. This Nuwave PIC is perfect. It is about half the size (depth) of a standard cooktop and sits perfectly on top of the old electric. It is perfectly stable effectively replacing the old electric. I won’t go into all the advantages of induction because that is old news. The one issue I have had is not with the Nuwave but with the wiring in my apartment: attempting to boil water on one element and fry on the other — both on the highest setting — blew the circuit-breaker. Step one of them down a bit and everything is fine (still faster than electric). Cleans up well, easy to use, and I leave it out.
