About this item
- MAKE ADJUSTMENTS ON-THE-FLY – Want hotter temperature or need to cook it longer? No problem. Simply adjust on-the-fly any time. No need to start over. Flex’s intuitive digital controls are easy to operate, and the response is immediate.
- 45 PRE-PROGRAMMED TEMPS - Select from the 6 convenient preset temperature settings or fine tune your own temperature from 100°F to 500°F in 10°F increments. You can also add or deduct cooking time at any time.
- SHATTER-PROOF CERAMIC GLASS – The heating surface is heavy-duty shatter-proof ceramic glass. It was rigorously tested to withstand intense heat without shattering. It is one of the safest cooktops on the market.
- FAST & EFFICIENT – Flex heats the pot directly transferring 85%~90% of its electro-magnetic energy to heat energy! Traditional stovetops only convert about 30% of their heat for cooking. Flex cooks faster; saves energy; and is safer than any stovetop.
- SAFETY BUILT-IN – Even if you forget, Flex will shut off automatically when the set cook time is completed. When the cookware is removed from the cooktop, Flex will not start. There are no hot coils or open flames reducing the risk of burns and fire.
- PERFECT FOR DORMS & RV’S – Flex is light-weight and portable. It performs flawlessly in RV’s, dorms, campsites, and smaller apartments. Its 3 wattage settings of 600, 900 & 1300 watts are designed to work well anywhere even when the power is limited.
- PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTIONS – With Flex, you can sear, boil, simmer, fry, deep fry, sauté, slow cook, melt, or simply re-heat or keep warm. The applications are endless. Now it’s easy to prepare healthy, great tasting meals with a touch of a button.
- SUPERIOR TECHNOLOGY - The slim design of Flex and its patented insulation technology brings the induction heating coils closer to your cookware than the competition for faster & even heating, ensuring no hot or cold spots for optimal cooking experience.
- CHEF INSPIRED FEATURES & FUNCTIONS – Every feature and function of Flex are created and rigorously tested by highly trained Nuwave chefs and RD team. We obsessed over every detail in pursuit of optimal performance and durability.
- 4QT DURALON BLUE CERAMIC FRYING PAN INCLUDED – Ultra-nonstick healthy ceramic, induction-ready frying pan is non-toxic, lid included, PTFE & PFOA free, oven safe, and compatible with all cooktops.

It really heats up quickly. I put a few tablespoons of water in a steel pan just to see how long it would take to heat up, and the water was boiling in less than a minute. My Fagor pressure cooker is magnetic on the bottom, so it works well. I defrosted a package of Italian sausage by immersing it in water in this cooker and setting the temp to 100F. I stuck a thermometer in the water, and it registered 99-101 every time I checked. Perfect.
Update: Still more than satisfied, but some notes: The heating element is about six inches in diameter and about a half inch thick. This can be confirmed by putting a thin steel pan on the unit and watching where the water bubbles first. Because of this, heating was uneven when I used stamped steel pans. With a round-bottom wok it's not good at all. A flat-bottomed wok would be different, but it still would not heat the sides. (update 11/11/2015) Amazingly, a round-bottom wok works just fine. The heated area is pretty small, but it stir fries well.
My best use has been with a cast iron frying pan, and a Fagor pressure cooker. Both have enough mass to distribute the heat generated by the narrow ring.
One more nit. The best feature of this cooker is the fine control of temperatures, over other induction cookers, ten degrees F at a time. But, 210F (actually higher than 212) is too high for a low simmer, and 200 is too low. If I had my wish, there would be a finer control over this critical range of temps controlling simmering.
Update: The induction coil is about six inches in diameter, and a bit over a half inch thick. You can see this by watching the water come to a boil in a thin steel pan. I've had mixed results with pans that don't distribute heat well. I tried using a wok with a round bottom, and it didn't work well at all. Most woks come with a flat bottom, and these probably will work better, but the whole idea of wok cooking is to rapidly heat a large surface area. This won't do it. My best results have been with a Fagor pressure cooker for steaming and boiling, and a cast iron skillet for searing and braising. The cast iron does the job of heat distribution that thinner steel pans can't do.
Okay, it's not perfect for all cooking. But it works very well within its limitations. My only wish is that it had finer control over the 200-210 heating range. 210 should be below boiling, but this temp setting will boil vigorously. 200 won't even simmer. I wish there were settings in between this range to finely control this critical temp range.
Yet another Update: I find the temp control to be spotty with some pans. The three-quart Nuwave sauce pan that I bought separately works best. With a Lodge steel pan (not cast iron) for making toasted cheese sandwiches (for example) I just put it on "sear" and cycle it manually with the Pause and Start buttons. It seems to work best that way for things that don't take long to cook. Also, I have one pan that's weakly magnetic and the cooktop doesn't even recognize it. If testing pans with a magnet, make sure it's strongly attractive.
Especially if you have a small kitchen and not a lot of prep room, this would be perfect, as well as for traveling and for dishes which require very tight heat control. It's also really good for only a few, since its so simple to use. And anyone without a kitchen who needs something to cook on, this gives you the full choices that a full stove can.
I love the ease of cleaning as well, the surface on the pans so smooth nothing sticks. I look forward to many new experiments and tasty meals
