51 PRE-PROGRAMMED TEMPS - Select from the 6 convenient preset temperature settings or fine tune your own temperature from 100°F to 575°F in 10°F 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. Unlike the competition, Gold’s heating surface is heavy-duty shatter-proof ceramic glass, which was rigorously tested to withstand intense heat without shattering. It is one of the safest cooktops in the market.
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 cooktop’s intuitive digital controls are easy to operate, and the response is immediate.

Nuwave Induction Cooktops are the first induction cooktops to revolutionize the industry by introducing precision temperatures to induction cooking.
SAFETY BUILT-IN – Even if you forget, Gold will shut off automatically when the set cook time is completed. When there is no cookware on the cooktop, Gold will not start. There are no hot coils or open flames reducing the risk of burns.
PERFECT FOR DORMS AND RV’S – Gold is light-weight and portable and is designed to work well when the power is less than full. It performs flawlessly in RV’s, dorm rooms, remote cabins and campsites. With its 3 wattage settings of 600, 900 and 1500 watts, you can cook anywhere, anytime with limited power.
PERFECT SEAR – It was no coincidence that the max temperature is set at 575°F. Our culinary dept. determined that 575°F was necessary for grilling a proper juicy steak with perfect sear. It was a feat of engineering to achieve 575°F and make it completely safe.
SUPERIOR TECHNOLOGY - The slim design of Gold and its patented insulation technology brings the induction heating coils closer to your cookware than any other induction cooktop for faster and more even heating, ensuring no hot or cold spots for optimal cooking experience.

Title: It works amazingly well!
Review: We bought this after testing an induction cooktop at a friend's house and let me tell you, this does not disappoint! We have absolutely loved this product. The temperature is exact and helps keep your food at just the right heat. It heats very quickly and I am so impressed with how fast I can boil a pot of water! It takes a minute to boil water instead of your normal 3-5 minutes on a ceramic of electric stove. It's even faster than a gas stove (which has been my preference after taking a culinary class).The size is perfect for a large Dutch oven or a 12" pan. We took it camping with us and oh my goodness! It completely changed how I will camp in the future. Making meals was a breeze and I loved being able to pull it out and cook so many different things anywhere. I will say that cooking outside with a breeze does make it loose heat quickly, but when using it inside we don't have this problem.The base is very stable. I used it on a normal countertop and also on outside picnic tables as well as on top of a plastic tote and it always felt great. It doesn't move or shift but stays put. I love that the bottom does not get hot so you can use it on many surfaces.When you turn it on, you can hear a distinct fan noise, but it isn't loud or overbearing. It's noticable but not distracting. I don't mind it at all.Clean up is a breeze and wipes down really well. Even butter and grease splashes wipe down pretty easily.Overall I am very pleased with this product and I would 10/10 recommend it.

Title: Takes a little getting used to.
Review: My propane stove got invaded by mice and had to be put down. I got this as a temporary solution. It really does work well. Heats up quickly, and is pretty user friendly, but takes a bit of getting used to. I've got a 12 inch cast iron pan. It heats up the middle quick, but the sides of the pan not so much as the propane did. Just takes a little adjusting to something different, and I don't have that much of a problem with it now. It's a nice little unit for the money, and you can take it anywhere. I'd definitely buy again, or recommend to someone looking to give induction cooking a try.

Title: Love it
Review: This is my second NuWave. The other is years old and still going strong. I've decided to "go electric" this winter. I have a gas stove and that means running the vent above it anytime I want to cook. And THAT means sucking warm air out of the house....and then, having to replace it. Seems stupid. So, as I said, I'll go electric all Winter. No fumes, no fans, no wasted warm air.These NuWaves work great. Give it a try. At first the digital pad may look confusing, but not for long. I'm nuts about this product. I just made an enormous stove-top Pot Roast using this in a large "Larder and Vine" oval cast iron Dutch oven (another great product BTW). Came out great. Love the timer! And there seems to be NO limit on that timer. And that's important for something like a Pot Roast that needs to cook for 5 or 6 hours!So instead of running the vent for the gas cook top and shunting heat out the roof, this added heat to the house. This is a no-brainer for winter cooking or ANY time you need another "burner" for entertaining or whenever. BTW, works great in the RV because you can control the amount of electricity being used. I run it off of a Jackery generator there and the two have worked great together.NuWave has maintained the quality and I hope this one holds up for many years. To NuWave: maintain the quality control. A+

Title: Pretty darn cool.
Review: Never owned an induction cooktop before so it's my first experience. I think the thing I enjoy most about it is that it heats the pot and not the whole kitchen. We have an electric range that puts off a lot of heat. I can use this on the counter top and the only thing giving off some heat is the pot. Settings are pretty straight forward. I like that the magnet is 8 inches and accommodates larger pots. I think this has more choices in temp settings so you can dial it in if you have need of that function.

Title: This Is Amazing
Review: I used one in Mexico and decided to buy one for myself. I was amazed at how quickly it heats up and boils water. It does have a loud fan when it operates but Iâm getting used to it. It came with a cool book but Iâve never used it. I live in my RV and this is a perfect alternative to using the stove and propane.

Title: Love this product!
Review: We needed a safe way to cook in our truck camper. The NuWave induction cooktop will work without an open flame. We love it so far. We have bought the correct pots and pans to use with it which is a necessity with an induction cooktop. Amazon has a set of pans which are reasonable that can be purchased. I couldn't wait to use my cooktop, so I went to Walmart and purchased a brand called Carote cookware. Inexpensive and good quality for what is intended. There have been no issues but, if there are any in the near future, I will return to update my review.

Review: De las mejores compras que he hecho... y fue porque eché a perder la anterior al echar demasiadas papas en una olla y se salió todo el aceite.... Pero compré una idéntica porque es muy buena.

Title:
Review: I have used it a few times now. It works well, the fan is quieter than the one I had before ( a model from another brand, about 75% cheaper). I hate the sound of a fan but I am not aware of a model that does not have one. It stops as soon as you stop cooking ( the fan kept running a few minutes with my previous model).For low power ( simmer), the device sends the heat with ON / OFF cycles (you can hear very very subtle clicks) but the cycles are very fast and the heat is very stable on your plate . My previous device had a cycle of 10 sec and it was impossible to do any low heat cooking or to keep your plate warm. This part is great and it opens the door to more types of usage. I used my previous model only to get something boiling very fast since at low power, with those long cycles, it was not really usable.The model is a little bulky, large diameter and thick. I knew from the measurements but still it is not a small thing. The buttons are real push buttons (they are not touch buttons as it was said in a comparison table that I saw on Amazon -- these tables are full of mistakes very often). So, the buttons are push type (a little membrane, waterproof, that pops down when you press it). Frankly, they dont seem like they will last many years.Overall, so far I like it. Not perfect but a huge step above my previous model. The stability (not necessarily the precision) of the temperature is true and this is an important factor. In other words it holds very well its temperature but if it says 200, it just means warmer than 190 and that's fine with me.
Customers say
Customers like the heat transfer, functionality, and ease of use of the countertop burner. They mention it heats appropriate pans quickly, has great temperature control, and is user-friendly. Some also appreciate the value for money, build quality, and size. However, some customers have mixed opinions on the noise level.
