I went direct to the web site. My Visa card is tingling, but what would I do with two sets?

Hmmm,, portable induction cooktops sell at retail for $80-$120 with no shipping and handling charges. With this offer you are paying a final total of $189.xx for two including shipping.. Not exactly get one free LOL

1 This is only a 1300 watt unit, I found an 1800 watt unit on ebay a few years ago for $80 & free shipping. They're still there, though they offer a few more models with stainless trim, etc. Granted, there is no 99 hour automatic start timer, but I'm having some trouble seeing the recurring benefit of that feature. I love mine, induction is a godsend in the summer months - no heat loss into the room around the pan. I hope one day that induction replacements will be available for standard elements, I'd buy a couple in a second! CLICK HERE TO GO TO gansky1's LINK

PeteK, You have to go to the web site to get the 2 4 1 deal. Plus you get cookware and recipies. But Wait! There's more...

1 I bought mine at a wholesale store overhere. Mine is 1600 Watts. I love using mine in the summer too. IIRC mine was 39 euros, about 50 dollars.

I've used the lower wattage units and they are not worth buying.

Rockland, What wattage is a good starting point?

Probably an 1800 watt unit would give you the most speed. The great thing about an induction unit, even if you just have one, is that you can brings pans of food to cooking temperature quickly then, if you have more things to cook, you can move the pan to a surface unit or burner set to low heat to continue the cooking. It is when surface units and burners are on high that you have the most potential for excess heat escaping into the kitchen. The main thing you have to remember is the ratios of heat in electric cooking. While high is 100%, medium high is only half, medium low is a third, low is a seventh and simmer a tenth. If you have 20 power levels, you can use the following settings as points of reference to start: medium high is 10, medium low is 7, low is 3 and simmer is 2 or 1. Never walk away or turn you back on anything on HIGH with electric cooking, especially induction!

Cuffs, don't worry about what to do with the second NuWave cooktop. We bit on the offer and really do like our NuWave, but it has been over a month and we still haven't seen the second one. We did get a letter after our NuWave cooktop and cookware were delivered saying that they were behind production on the cooktop and that delivery of the second unit would be delayed somewhat. That was over 30 days ago. Bet we'll have to fight to get it. On a side note, we also like the cookware and accessories that were available with the offer.

I'd love to have one, surprised I don't actually but as soon as I see one on clearance somehwere I'll probably grab it. It would be handy to use outdoors on the patio in the summer and keep that heat outside. Every little bit helps and now that they've got us on smart meters our peak period is from like 11 a.m. to 7.pm, prime cooking time

Pete, Do your heavy cooking in the cool of the morning like they used to in the South before air conditioning. Then it can simmer or hold warm till dinner time or supper time. In the old southern way of cooking vegetables, they had to be started right after breakfast to be ready at noon. I don't know who I have told this to, but I will share it here, maybe again. I often cook delicious frozen mixed vegetables I buy at Costco. I put two servings worth in a Silit pan with a 6 inch diameter that holds less than 2 quarts. I add about a quarter cup of water and some salt & cover it. I put this on a 3000 watt/230 volt induction unit and turn it on to 20, the full power level. In TWO minutes, by the clock, the veggies are defrosted, boiling vigorously and completely, not just around the edge, and are ready to be turned down to level 3 to finish cooking. I remember when frozen vegetables came in an almost square block in a coated heavy paper box and took forever to cook on our gas stove. The water would be boiling around the edges of the pan and that frozen block of vegetables just sat there, daring to be thawed even as we turned it over. At least with an electric surface unit, the heat comes up through the entire base of the pan so the vegetables thaw faster, but that 3000 watt induction unit cooks like dragon fire without the wasted heat.

Well, after only 2 1/2 months, we finally got our 2nd NuWave Induction cook plate. I did have to contact NuWave a couple of times to get it, and I'm betting if I hadn't followed up with them, nothing would have happened.

Comes to the Rescue!
