Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Nu-Wave Electromagnetic Induction Hot Plate

So as not to hijack the other cookware thread, I would like to know some thoughts on what cookware to use on those Nu-Wave electromagnetic induction hot plates. We were given one of these by a friend.

I know they have to be ferrous metal(anything a magnet will stick to). I would like to know if anyone else has one and what they use on it.

Didn't know what the item was. So went to site and listen to the sales add for about a min.

All of the cookware in the add seems to be stainless.

Cast iron is best... They are really at their best doing stuff that takes a LOT of heat. Chinese stir-fry for example. I have a cast iron wok that does not work well on any gas rig I have tried because the base is too small, despite heat sink vanes on the bottom. On the induction cooker it gets extremely hot, and almost instantly.

We used an induction cooker while we did our kitchen remodel, and our existing AllClad pans worked just fine.

One small drawback I noticed: If you pick up a pan momentarily (to flip foods, for example) the cooker senses "no pan" and shuts off for a bit. It does come back on when you put the pan back down, but there's a noticeable delay.

Somebody told me once that their pans 'buzzed' when they were on the unit. Anyone have that experience?

I don't have an induction range - nearly bought one (hybrid, actually) but decided against it at the last minute.

The cooker hums, but I can't say I ever heard the pans buzz.
