Reading Ebook NuWave PIC Pro Highest Powered Induction Cooktop 1800W From NuWave

The NuWave PIC Pro is comprised of a series of magnetic coils. These coils generate magnetic fields that produce a warming reaction in steel and iron based pots and pans. In this way, heat is generated in the cookware and not on the cooktop surface, which is much more energy efficient than traditional gas or electric ranges. Induction cooking is the most eco-friendly way to prepare meals because the method releases no toxins into the environment. Induction cooking emits no flame, so less residual heat is produced in your own kitchen. The cooktop remains cool to the touch where the magnetic surface is not activated.

BEST induction cooktop around... hands down! By J.Brown Naturally, I grew interested in one of these watching an As Seen on TV spot for it. Sounded awesome... so I pulled up the webpage and within minutes was just too confused and frustrated to bother. So many mark ups, options, free this and that but add postage and exorbitant handling and within seconds an $89 purchase ballooned to over $200 (for 2 units, pots, pans, double/triple postage and handling) you know the

game. I backed out. Read the reviews - the pots and pans are junk anyway. Then I saw a Tramontina cooktop at Sam's Club for $100 including a 6 piece stainless steel cookware set. I bought it. I tried it. I took it back. The cookware was great, the item is quality, its adjustments do not offer enough temperature control, and its fan was noisy. I could not even melt butter without scorching the heck out of it because the lowest temperature was just too high and the highest temperature (they claimed 500F) was a measly 300F so oil wouldn't even get hot enough to fry up some chicken wings. I turned back to the NuWave. The company plays a lot of games if you go to their website, but they make an amazing product! Buy from Amazon and you can avoid all that nonsense because this is one quality unit! There are a few models, which makes things confusing. Here is the break down: NuWave pic 2 1300 watt model, 10 degree temperature adjustment, 6.5" heating surface NuWave pic 2 Gold 1500 watt model, 10 degree temperature adjustment, 8" heating surface NuWave pic 2 Pro 1800 watt model, 5 degree temperature adjustment, 12" cooking surface NuWave pic 2 Titanium (same as Pro but renamed ... only available from a single source and its not Amazon or NuWave! Weird) All units are the same dimensions: 14.5" long x 12" wide x 2.5" tall It may not seem like much, but the finer temperature adjustment of 5F is incredibly handy. The Pro/Titanium units can be controlled so finely, you can melt chocolate using these without burning or scorching it! NO double boiler or anything needed! They claim this unit can boil water in 2 minutes. That's a silly claim ... there are too many factors to state such a thing - the starting temperature of the water, the width of the pot, the volume of water, etc. I tried a medium sized pot, 6 cups of cold water, and it was boiling in 4 minutes - which is incredibly impressive! I have a gas range, and it takes at least double that. This is an amazing unit, you will love it! My singular complaint is that when you stop cooking and turn the unit off, the fan does not continue to run to cool the cooking surface. Other PIC's do this and that's a really nice feature. The NuWave can stay hot/warm to the touch for quite some time before its ready to be handled and/or put away. Maybe the Titanium ++ model will add that feature ;) Hope this helps those browsing around for a PIC! 295 of 311 people found the following review helpful. Beauty and the Beast By E J I phoned NuWave for clarifications BEFORE I ordered via their website 11-14-2013. Their sales reps also confirmed I can simply pay all at once, which I preferred. I think some super-villain like Lex Luther designed their online ordering process. It made me feel like I was being challenged by a wily opponent, or running a cyber-gauntlet, but I read each succeeding question/offer carefully and ended up doing OK. I went for their "BOGO" 2-cooktops-for-1 offer, and I opted to upgrade to the "PIC Pro" model. PIC PRO unit #1 base price was $129.94 ($24.99 more than the PIC2's price of $99.99). S&H on that unit was another $29.95, for a total of $154.93. For PIC Pro unit #2, I paid a $24.99 `premium' for getting the `pro' version, and paid another $29.95 for S&H. Total cost of the 2nd unit was $54.94. So both Pro units cost a total of $209.87, or $104.94 apiece, including the S&H. I also went for the free "Complete NuWave PIC Cooking Package". This introduced another $29.95 for S&H. The final charge against my credit card was $239.82. The charge showed up Nov. 17th NuWave sent me prompt e-mail confirmation of my order, but I had to email them on Nov. 18 to request a UPS tracking number. They promptly sent me the tracking number, and the shipment arrived intact on the morning of Nov. 20th. In a single 32-lb. box, I rec'd the two PIC Pro units (model #30301AR), and the cookware set (consisting of: a 9" frying pan; a 10½" frying pan; a 10 ½" dia. x 3" deep stainless steel pot; a 10½" dia. glass lid; a stainless steel steamer insert that can be used with the pot; a fondu-ring insert that can be used with the pot, and; eight fondu forks. I missed the fondu-thing in the 1970's, looks like I now get a 2nd chance. The frying pans are stainless steel on the outside, with a copper-colored, "Duralon" nano-ceramic nonstick coating inside. Their bottoms are almost ½" thick. The stainless steel pot also has the thick bottom (but has no non-stick coating inside). The glass lid fits either the 10½" pan or the 3"-deep pot and has a little steam-vent hole in it. Each PIC PRO unit is about 12" dia. x 2½" high, except it is 14" dia. in the front area where the push-button controls are. The cooktop's red circle is 6½" in diameter. The outer white ring is 9½" in diameter. As I'll describe better below, the unit's induction coils seem to be centered beneath the red circle. All controls except `program' (staged cooking) are EZ to figure out without the manual. A big, red LED displays your settings. Panel has six

temperature presets: Low (100F); Med. Low (175); Med. (275); Med. High (375); High (425), and; Max. Sear (560F or above). You select a preset, then adjust the temperature up-or-down in 5F degree increments to your desired setting. (The PIC2 limits your adjustments to 10F increments: the PIC Pro allows finer adjustments in 5F increments from 100F to 560F, for a total of 94 possible settings.) TEMPERATURE CHECK WITH EMPTY 10½" PAN: I did some quick tests on both the PIC Pro units I'd received. I performed identical tests on each of them, and found they both produced exactly the same results, which frankly surprised me. Here's how I tested each of them: I placed the 10½" pan onto the cooktop, sprinkled perhaps ¼ oz. of water into it. Since I know water will always boil at 212F (at sea level), I used that fact to gauge how accurate the cooktop settings were. I turned on the cooktop, and initially set it to it's lowest setting, just 100F. The empty pan got barely warm to the touch almost instantly and stayed that way. So that setting seemed about right. I then set it for 150F, and gave it a couple minutes to stabilize. Once I heard its electronic controls rapidly cycling off-and-on, I knew it was stabilized. I slowly raised the temperature setting in 10F steps until it was set at 200F, and sprinkled more water as needed. Then I raised it in 5F increments, pausing each time to wait for the faint sound of the electronics `cycling' to hold the new setting. At the 210F setting, the water droplets didn't boil, at 215F setting they did. At 210F again, they didn't. This told me that the temperature settings are accurate when the cooktop is used with their own empty 10 ½" pan, and that the cooktop can hold a temperature that varies no more than 5 degrees F. There is no way to predict whether YOU would get the same results with a different pot or pan, because it may have different induction/magnetic properties, or thickness or something. Some pots & pans heat up differently than others, even if they are all rated "induction ready". Your best bet is to perform the same little test with your own cookware and see how it behaves. All I can say is this: ...both PIC Pro units they sent me were highly accurate and behaved identically when used with their own 10½" pan (model #32004), when that pan was EMPTY except for a few drops of water. TEMPERATURE CHECK WITH WATER IN 10½" PAN: The cooktop settings became less accurate when I poured 10 cups of water into the 10½" pan.... I placed the 10½" frying pan onto the cooktop, added 10 cups of room temperature (72F) water, and turned ON the unit to its highest "Max Sear" setting. It took 7 minutes to bring the water to a full, rolling boil. My home's line voltage was 122.5V. NuWave's "less than one minute to boil" claim needs to be clarified. I then set the LED display to 215F: the boiling quickly stopped and the water temperature dropped to 190F before stabilizing. This was 12% lower than the 215F setting I had entered, as measured using my ASCI-certified Kessler lab thermometer at proper immersion. To maintain a gentle boil (212F), I had to input a setting of 275F. Thus, the actual temperature produced (212F) was 23% lower than the unit's LED readout of 275F was indicating. I noticed that the boiling bubbles would initially concentrate in a circular band that was about 6 or 6½" in dia., roughly corresponding to the red circle on the cooktop's surface. Obviously, this traced the location of the induction coils that were heating the pan. As the gentle boiling continued, the bubble formation became more uniformly distributed, showing that the 10½" pan was doing a good job of distributing the heat input. I performed the exact same test with each unit and they again performed EXACTLY way. They were both "off" by the EXACT same amount. I was impressed by how consistent they were with each other. Something like that doesn't happen by accident. As I mentioned, my 215F settings on each unit produced an actual water temperature of 190F. I allowed the electronics to stabilize into that rapidly cycling off-and-on state and remain that way for 10 minutes while I monitoring the lab thermometer readings. When the LED was set at 215F, both units maintained the water within a narrow temperature range of 188-191F degrees. The PIC Pro cooktops I received really are able to maintain a precise temperature. The only problem is that, once I added 10 cups of water, the LED readout no longer matched the actual water temperatures being produced. In all fairness, let me point out that a 10½" dia. pan is shallow and has a large surface area to "lose" (dissipate) heat, as compared to a narrower, deeper pot. And water heats up differently than cooking oil. If I'd heated up 10 cups of oil instead of water, or maybe only 4 cups, perhaps the LED readings would've been closer to being reality. I have to give NuWave credit for the fact that BOTH my units performed identically, and BOTH of them were able to maintain a

temperature that varied by less than 3 degrees (F). That sort of repeatability is not easy to achieve. These things are definitely not toys. I've seen NuWave induction cooktop reviews on Amazon.com (mainly the 4-star ones) that thoughtfully try to explain some of the physics and performance characteristics, to fill the info-void NuWave appears content to leave us with. That's cool. Here's my own contribution to the `cause'. OK. Regardless of manufacturer, I believe there is almost always going to be a temperature difference between the setting you enter into these induction-type units and what you actually get. Variations in your own cookware's dimensions and induction properties, and the manner in which it is being used (as griddle? as oven? as oil fryer? as water steamer?), can produce widely varying results. Dumping some water or oil into the cookware introduces yet another variable which will have an effect on the temperature you end up obtaining. The only way any of these induction-type cooktops could be truly accurate is if they came equipped with a means for the cooktop to measure the temperature of the water, oil oven, griddle, etc. that is being heated, -such as a wired external probe you could stick right into whatever is being heated. Otherwise, the best they can do is measure the temperature of the bottom of the object being heated (bottom of the pan, pot, oven, griddle, etc. you are using) where it contacts the surface of the cooktop unit. Other than that, these induction-cooktops are running `blind'. Apparently, NuWave calibrates their PIC Pro cooktop unit for use in combination with their own cookware (such as that empty 10½" pan I'd received from them). My results matched theirs, when their pan WAS EMPTY. But once I added the 10 cups of water, everything changed. The cooktop settings were now inaccurate. Since we are not provided with an external temperature probe, we are left having to come up with our own means to independently check the true temperatures being produced. So, I suggest you may want to go out and buy an inexpensive (but reasonably accurate) candy thermometer for maybe $5. If you're using the induction cooktop to heat a dutch oven, also buy one of those cheapo (but accurate) in-the-oven thermometers for maybe another $5. Using these inexpensive items, you can determine, thru trialand-error, what setting you need to enter into your NuWave PIC unit (or any other similar induction cooktop) to produce your target temperature. For example, let's say you've entered 350F into the cooktop unit and you've allowed your pot of cooking oil to reach a stabilized temperature, but your candy thermometer says your pot of oil is only at 280F. Now you know you need to enter a higher cooktop setting, -maybe try 440F. OR...let's say you've entered that 350F setting and your oil is getting way too hot. You know you have to enter a lower setting. Once you're successful, write down the `good' setting you've figured out, and note which pot or pan you used, and how much oil (or whatever) you were heating in it. (Remember: some pots/pans are "hot" induction-wise, some are "cooler".) The next time you do it, you'll know exactly what to do and what to expect. Gradually, you will develop a `feel' for how your own induction cooktop behaves with your own cookware. I'm not making excuses for NuWave or any other manufacturer. I'm just a person who has purchased an induction cooktop and is now trying to figure out the best way to use it to get consistent results. I'm sure there were plenty of complaints about microwave ovens in the 1960's and 70's when they were the `latest thing'. On a positive note, --the cookware they sent me is the bomb! No complaints at all about the quality of NuWave's cookware. Time will tell whether that Duralon non-stick coating holds up on the frying pans, but there's no doubt that the cookware I rec'd is top notch. In summary, I figure I got TWO of the bigger Pro model PIC's for about $105 apiece, including S & H. Not bad! These things may have their quirks, and they may not boil 10 cups of water in 90 seconds or whatever, but I don't feel as though I got ripped off. (I'm giving one of my PIC Pro units to my sister as a holiday gift.) Plus, I got some really high-quality `free' cookware for only $30. The 9" pan alone is worth more than that. And, I like the technology, with its relatively low consumption of electricity. Hurricane Sandy left me without power for 8 days, and I was using a 6500W generator to struggle along. My home's electric stove would've been too much for my little generator to handle, so I had to cook on my outdoor BBQ grill. If I'd had an energy-efficient induction cooker, I would've still been able to do some indoor cooking. ( According to NuWave, the PIC Pro's power consumption ranges from 600 watts on "Low" setting, to 1800 watts on "Max Sear" setting, at house line voltage of 120V.) I just rec'd these things from Nu-Wave recently. I have no experience with actually cooking

with them yet, but am very intrigued with their ability to maintain temperatures within a precise temperature range, -especially at the lower settings. I have every reason to expect that of I had wanted to, I could have set either one of my PIC Pro units to some setting, say 115F, and it would have maintained my (empty) 10½" pan at 114-116F, once I'd allowed a few minutes for the electronics to stabilize. I am not aware of any other way to do that in the kitchen. I'm looking forward to checking it out. I will mention that the NuWave sales reps I spoke with were a bit on the aggressive side, but not too bad. They pushed a little, and I simply pushed back. But they seemed overly `guarded' and weren't very open. I didn't get a `warm & fuzzy' feeling. Something one of them said led me to believe I could save myself a few bucks by placing the order via their online site, instead of doing it via phone. When I began trying to say goodbye, they both tried talking me into going for a `cruise trip' deal. Really? Very weird... I did not like NuWave's tricky online ordering sequence at all!! It first required that I submit my credit card info etc, and then it hit me with a series of maybe 15 successive questions about whether I want to buy this or buy that. I can easily see how lots of other people could become annoyed with it, and take their business elsewhere. If the online ordering process had unnerved me, I would've stopped, and clicked OFF the entire site. I would've known I hadn't yet given my final approval to bill my credit card until I'd OK'd everything in the final "review order" window, at the very end of the process. If I'd backed out, I would've closely monitored my credit card to make sure no unauthorized charges appeared. But everything went smoothly online, my credit card was billed Nov. 16/17th in the correct amount, and I received the correct items via UPS quite quickly. As I mentioned before, I feel NuWave/Hearthware is negligent in their failure to present their customers with the sort of performance information that I (and some other reviewers) are trying to provide you with. I feel that NuWave should be upfront and explain that ALL induction cooktop units (not just the ones they are handling) will produce temperatures that can significantly vary from the settings we input. It all depends on: the inductioncharacteristics of the cookware being used; the cookware's size & shape; the type of material being heated in the cookware; the volume/amount being heated; etc. These are all things that are out of NuWave's control: why not acknowledge that these sort of temperature differences come with the territory (for NuWave and for all its competitors) and maybe give us some general tips or guidelines for dealing with these inevitable differences? THEY SHOULD ALSO LOOK INTO PROVIDING AN EXTERNAL TEMPERATURE PROBE FOR USE WITH THEIR INDUCTION COOKTOPS !!! Back in the 1960's, when the first microwave ovens were being marketed, consumers had to get used to the idea that placing tin foil and metal cookware/utensils placed in a microwave would produce frightening results. But the people got used to this limitation and quickly learned to accept them, because the microwave benefits far outweighed the negatives. To me, NuWave is at a similar junction right now. They should be teaching their customers how to better use this new `induction' technology they are marketing -not stonewalling everybody. NuWave's marketing mindset seems to be 25 years behind the times, acting as if the one-way medium of TV still holds sway. Make a glitzy `infomercial' loaded with hype to lure buyers, and then throw them to the wolves. Really? We're well into the 21st Century, guys. The "audience" talks back now. They communicate and exchange opinions instantly on the internet, FaceBook, Twitter, etc. PEOPLE ARE READING THIS REVIEW, RIGHT NOW !! I'm a bit more fearless than most, and decided to purchase directly from NuWave, using their annoying online ordering site, even though I'd read so many, many, many negative reviews and warnings about them. The person next to me may have read that same negative info and taken their business to a competitor. NuWave will never know how many customers they've already chased away NuWave has a decent product, -why not just sell it at a decent price (for a decent profit) and dispense with all the clever sales gimmicks? Their excessive hype is creating unrealistic expectations in peoples' minds. It's sowing the seeds for customer dissatisfaction. They've even managed to earn the worst possible rating from the Better Business Bureau (an 'F'). They're an unattractive company selling some beautiful products. Beauty and the Beast. The negative blogs and reviews and comments are going to catch up with them. If they want to stem that tide, they need to start embracing `openness'. It seems to me this sort of "openness" approach would be a major step in the

right direction toward improving consumer confidence and trust. Hey, maybe NuWave has this `take-the-money-and-run' business model and doesn't care about tomorrow. But if they want to secure a stable and lasting market niche, they're going to need to change their entire marketing/sales style, and dramatically improve customer relations. Nevertheless, they did sell me some fine quality products at a decent price, and delivered them as promised right on time, so I'm still giving them 4 stars. My own personal experience with them has been fine thus far. I can't say whether you would fare as well. But I would recommend purchasing their PIC Pro induction cooktop (model #30301AR), and I am quite pleased with the "Complete NuWave PIC Cooking Package" that I also received from them. Additional info can be viewed by clicking on the "Comments" tab below... 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Great cooktop for portability and flexibility. By UK Expat I love this cooktop. I bought 2 of them for a new kitchenette in our annexe, and really enjoy cooking with them. Depending on the cookware used, I did notice something of a hot-spot in the center of the pan. You could tell that omelettes cooked quicker in the center then in the ouside 2" of an 11" frying pan. Not a big deal though. The fan is noisy, so if you need a quiet kitchen, take a careful look at that issue. To run two on the same worktop, remember that you will need two separate high-current outlets to ensure trouble free operation, but it is great being able to cook at different places in the kitchen.
