New Wave Portable Induction Cooker

The cookplate arrived a bit later than I was expecting, but since then, it's been incredibly fast and easy to use. As many other people have said, the fan is loud, but you get used to it. The included pot is also quite obviously not well suited for long cooking times, but other induction cookware is getting easier and cheaper to find. See my unboxing and roadtest video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79id_PnPGwo

I purchased this Portable Induction Cooker as I had seen one in use at a coookery demonstration. It is a joy to use, instant heat, cooked a very low and slow casserole which took half the time my slow cooker would have taken. Great product would recommend to anyone.

After the first use the digital display started mulfunctioning, it does not show full digits so it's hard to see the current settings.. Is it my bad luck or not the best quality of the cooker?

I have a wood fired stove so wanted something to use as a hot plate when it is not going , this cook top is great , perfect for what I need it for compliments my wood stove beautifully

faced with the decision of what kind of cooktop to put into new house, bought this to get some experience with induction cooking. yes, it is very fast bringing things to the boil, but also somewhat noisy. biggest disappointment is the simmer setting (800w) - it alternates bursts of high with no power causing things to boil over (unless you use a tall pot). worthwhile investment though - if only to make up my mind to stick with gas for my next kitchen

This is a great cooktop - instant heat/cool, with good temperature range and control. I have a gas cooktop which I love using for many reasons, but for cheesemaking where I need excellent control of temperature, this cooktop is ideal. As for the fan/cooling aspect - while it does sound like a fan, my canopy and ovens are fan-forced and the fans stay on to cool the ovens when turned off also. So I don't find it a problem. And the added bonus for me is that this cooker is streamlined and easy to store when not in use. And the great price and service from Kitchenware Direct makes it even better!

I've purchased this product to use outdoors when the barbie is controlled by the men in the house so as to be able to do stir fried vegetables or other lovely side dishes to accompany the meal the boys are burning umm I mean cooking. I will also use this to do my cooking demonstrations in homes when presenting my business products. A little something on the company who I purchased the product off. Service is alive and well in some business's in Australia and Kitchenware Direct is one of them. Speedy delivery (usually the next day or two following ordering), courteous email to let customer know it's on it's way, etc etc.......Keep up the great work you lot and I'll be back to buy more from your diverse range of products !

Long have I pondered this innovation and now I have one. Sleek and sexy in design for a start. The cooking.......well, the word is PRECISION. I have never had such instantaneous control over a heat source. Yet it is something to master, much the same as folk experienced with the Microwave, way back when. All in all a great product, well priced, and a new excitement in cooking.......have fun !!

Tried this as a temporary measure because the large element on the electric cooktop stopped working and we want to re-do the kitchen so didn't want to have to install a new cooktop at this stage. We've had the New Wave Portable Induction Cooker for a few weeks now and are happy with it's preformance, not too noisy in our kitchen. The delivery was fast and the price is cheap enough to give it a try.

First the bad - it has a fan inside which is pretty loud, although no louder than your average rangehood. Also you have to leave the powerpoint turned on after you finish cooking as it needs to cool itself down - not mentioned in the manual. Also the included pot is rubbish, had burn marks after the first use so we threw it away. Now the good - WOW this thing heats fast! It gets incredibly hot incredibly quickly, and has no problem maintaining the heat at all. Cooked perfect steak for the first time! It's a godsend as a full induction cooktop is just too expensive, and gas isn't available in my apartment. HIGHLY recommended!

I got one for Christmas, so impressed with it I am purchasing another one which will almost make the stove cook top obselete. As I rent I can't put in a full induction cooktop, this is the next best thing, and I get to take it with me.

I bought this cooker for its range of digitally controlled temperature, especially for slow cooker but it makes an unbearable noise (similar to kettle heating up but louder). Perhaps it would be OK for quick frying that makes its own noise but for long slow cooking it would be torture to have to listen to it going for hours.

Extremely fast heating and cooling of the surface makes this perfect for use in our caravan, as well as at home. It's a breeze to clean..just wipe over and is sleek in design.Lightweight compared to other portable cookers. Economical power use helps electricilty consumption. I love it.
