After just buying the same set you did online and then reading several negative reviews I wondered if I made a mistake and even gave thought to calling my bank and canceling (which would have been a cost similar to one shipping fee). But after watching your video I now feel a lot better. Thank you for taking the time to do this and being an older occupational therapist with several joint replacements I appreciated you comment on ease of use for the disableD.

Debbie, I absolutely agree that the cost is reasonable. Besides the 2 PICs and the free cookware, I bought all the other PIC accessories they offer except the carrying case, pressure cooker and 9-inch and 11.5-inch Premium Tempered Glass Lids.Shipping costs were discounted to $5.60. All the other pots and pans are just as heavy as the free cookware and all have the same non-stick coating as the free pans. The grill and griddle are cast iron enamel coated. Total cost was less than $500.00

Thank you SOOOOOO Much for this review. Out of all the other youtube vids in trying to research, yours is one of the only one's that discussed the weight & sturdiness.

Thanks for sharing this with us. Very thoughtful!

Thanks for the review when I purchased my cooktop, I rejected most of the deals but bought the cookware set but I got back quickly and got it all and LET ME TELL YOU...Those pots and pans have no MATCH on the market...NO COOKWARE ON THE MARKET CAN COMPARE TO THEM EVEN THE CELEBRITY BRANDS DON'T COME CLOSE.BTW I went ahead and ordered all the other stuff and I am loving it...WHAT A GREAT DEAL...YES WHERE CAN YOU GET COOKWARE LIKE THIS..FoodPrepping IS TELLING YOU THE TRUTH get the whole shebang!

I bought the same set as you. I used it for the first time last night to cook chicken breast with great results! Very juicy! I like having the flexibility to cook on the nuwave instead of my gas stove.

It takes a certain amount of energy to boil water in a container. The thinner the container the faster it will boil. Whether you use low power for long time or or high power for a short time the same amount of power is used. It would boil faster in a smaller lighter pot. The adjustable temps allow for what is being heated so that it doesn't stick over cook on the bottom etc. Excellent deal if you get 10 years of use. The Pots/pans are a good deal. Nice job. Thank you for sharing.

OK thanks so much. I guess I haven't paid full attention to the ad. My husband just watched your review and was very impressed with the info you gave. Debbie, I can't believe you do all you do for your family from a wheelchair. God bless you, girl. You are amazing! I only have to use my chair for outside or on very bad days, but standing at the stove is not possible. Luckily my husband is now retired & he jumps in on the parts I can't handle, but thus would make things so much easier. Thank you!

Congratulations,you presented your review in a very gracious ,fun and simple to understand manner...youre a natural,I also enjoyed very much your very personal accent.And I appreciate the fact that you have not any interest on promoting the PIC,but only helping us to have useful information,so thanks again and keep sharing.You actually gave all the info that everybody asks,you covered every area.

Thank you Debbie Food Prepping & Ricky Po33(comments section)! This review & comment was exactly what I needed! Thanks again!

Debbie that cook top looks like a winner I am going to have to get one. Great video

Thanks for the review. I've been thinking about getting this set. Now I am sold. Someone may have already mentioned this, but since it is wattage based settings, kick that baby on high til she boils, then lower the setting to 220 or whatever you want. It will boil much faster. I don't believe induction surface will have the same wear-and-tear as conduction burners suffer from rapid heating.... Have a Nice Day :)

Thanks for the video!

Thanks for showing this Debbie! You really never know if something is worth it until you try it.

Mrs. Debbie, Lordy Girl you are blessed /Cursed with a Southern accent so thick some folks would need a translator. I too am from the south and when I brought my Kansas girlfriend home to meet Momma---she required an interpreter. La./Miss up-bringing gives me the skills to understand you clearly . Thanks and we will get one . Thanks for your effort darling-you are so sweet.

which one is this ? they have 4 different ones is it the 10" or 12"?

very cool...thankyou for sharing..I have wondered about this when I see it on tv.

This is what I've noticed. First they make 3 original PIC-1300W, PIC2-1500W and they PIC Pro-1800W. They are still advertising only the original on TV, Online the PIC2 and Call the PIC PRO. I've tried/used several others: ALL work pretty much the same. The advantage of Nu-Wave is Programmable and Temparature range.. NONE of them are EVEN across the pans. Advantage of induction, it fast and doesn't heat up kitchen. Efficiency: 12% over electric and 50% over gas. Need dedicated outlet to get wattage draw.. Pans stick after a few uses. The PIC2 and PIC PRO..when pan is lifted off, the fan stops immediately and have to push start to return cooking. ALL PICs, regarless of brand m, maintains temperature by cycling on/off. the outer edges are apparently controlled by the center, because it never gets as hot..evenly. Eggs, hamburgers, etc will not cook evenly because of the cycling and the center control. While better than guessing on a regular stovetop, temps are not accurate, especially below 200 degrees. Heat above desired temps a few secons before dropping in foods than are not room temp. BTW, there are couple of dual burners at 1800watts, but; they don't tell you that they split the wattage (900) each. But the same will be true if if you plugged in 2 PICs on the same circuit/plug..especially less if you're also sharing with the frig and lights...if circuit doesn't blow first. BTW, if you have a 20amp cuircuit and plug in a surge protector they trip at 15 amps. But, I could envision several on a buffet at low temp. I paid about $240 2 PIC Pros, with the accessories advertised..TOTAL.

Got mine as a gift and used it for over a year now - love it. No problems at all - also ordered a new one for my father in October but did not upgrade to the high wattage as the surge protection likes under 1700 watts items (the upgrade states it is 1800 watts) I did get the grill attachment and two pans. They are amazing and nothing has stuck to them yet. In my opinion these are all worth the money.

My son watched this video 6 times in a row, just because he loves the sound of your voice. I'm from the south too but have been up north for so long that my accent has sort of disappeared. He said "Momma, why does her voice sound so funny?" I said "She's from the south, Little. Just like me!" He said "I love it, momma. It's beautiful. Can I watch it again?" :)

I bought this. You are right that the free items cannot be purchased for the amount charged for S&H. I think what folks are angry about is the amount of the S&H. There is no way that it costs $90+ to pay people to pack and ship these items. They are making money on this, so they should not advertise the items as free. This "free with S&H" is a marketing tactic to get people to purchase more than the offered product. But I agree, the products are excellent and a great bargain, even with the S&H..

Thank you for a nice video.

Great presentation!

They just came out with the Nuwave PIC2 which is now an automatic upgrade. But unadvertised is the NuWavw PIC Pro. The original is 10amps/1300 watts. The Pro is 15amps/ 1800 watts/5 deg increments. I Also brought the Faberware Millenium Nonstick set from Amazon.

just got my today cant wait to go home and use it

Very nice. We've been using an induction cooktop for years. Hands down the fastest method for boiling water for pasta. The very best control for simmering sauces. The pan does the cooking so there are no hot spots. Yes, the cooking surface remains cool to the touch even though the pot is boiling away. You can place a paper towel under the pan to catch splatters and have no fear of fire. They ain't cheap, but the cost of electricity to run them is very very low.

Thanks so much for the review Debbie. I really appreciate it. I got my friend one for Christmas and he loves it. I ordered one today and can't wait till it gets here. Here in Ga., it gets so hot in the summer that I can hardly stand it. I just wish I could use it can on.

Debbie, could you clarify for me please? When I see the ad on TV they just show the 2 cooktops for one price. Do they offer all the rest when you call in, or are you seeing a different ad there? Again, thanks for showing this, I have limited standing time. If I buy one of these I can find myself a quiet corner where the cord wont be in anyone's path, and do any parts of a recipe that require a long attendance time. Thanks again!

Out of curiosity did you get the grill attachment? Also, how's the cookware it came with holding up after extended use?

Looks like a great deal to me :) With all the delicious food you cook Debbie, I'm sure you'll get your money's worth. Looks like it's fun, too! Hope your grand baby's surgery went well and that he is resting comfortably. Take care, Robin

Nice video and nice camera! Would it be good to use on a boat?

The cost is due to the heavy weight of the products but I can assure you that, they will be the most durable cookware and equipment in your kitchen,,,I made the same mistake but corrected it at once when my initial order came through and I saw the quality of the products...I REALIZED I COULD NEVER AFFORD THEM ANY OTHER WAY...GET THE WHOLE SHABANG YOU WILL BE VERY HAPPY YOU DID...!!!IT'S WORTH IT I TELL YOU.

Just picked up the $99 pic 2 from walmart it came with one pan. I love it so far

Nice review.

Thank you for taking the time to record this and helped me decide to buy >> did you get offered any thing else when you were on the phone with them?

I can't tell you how good it is to hear you again. Hope by now they are paying you to use their product.

debbie you hooked me after watching all your vid i wanted one but the price was to high but guess what i went to my local Rite Aid store and you will never guess the price 49.99 they had in the discount bin i was so happy cant wait to use it i hate heating up the stove thanks for all your great vids god bless obtw its the nuwave 2 :)

I thank that it would be great for the OTR crew, over the road truckers, along with the oven that nuwave has, it can save truckers some money. IMO.

You do sound like Paula Deen. It's the first thing i thought lol very funny...saw the infomercial and i'm thinking of buying this so thanks for the review!

BTW, what is the warranty if any?

Thanks for the great video Debbie I have seen the TV add and it looks inviting but I have done a lot of research and reading reviews on this cooktop and the majority of the reviews were pretty bad. I'm looking to try induction cooktop, but I don't need the pans. Looks like the NuWave only heats a small circle where other cooktops show water boiling and it looks like a 8 to 10 inch circle that boils. You should make a video that shows how large the area is that heats the water. Thanks.

I've got two,, usually alternate using them so one doesn't get all the use. Seldom turn on the stove any longer..One of the units I got would not stay on more than a minute. Called the company and they sent me another one and simply shipped the first one back in the same box.As stated about the stove.. I screwed up and put the unit on the stove and then turned the stove on,, after wondering where the smell was coming from I learned a lesson..Had to go buy another one,,,,

does yours throw a spark at the outlet when you plug it in ? mine does and come to find out i am not alone

Sounds like we are in similar shape. Mine is do to an autoimmune disease that includes Psoriatic Arthritis/ complicated by a stroke. It was a mild one, but has had lasting effects. I know I should look into getting the free help. Right now I have a friend who helps for a very modest fee (thats just scrubbing the bathrooms etc stuff). My husband does some stuff & I do what can be done such as I am. I'm retired, so I'm sure I must qualify. But as you know, you still want to do as much as you can.

Hi Debbie! Does your NuWave induction cooktop still function to this day? Or did it last several years? I am looking for an induction cooktop with longevity. Thanks!

I am curious, I have a "cheap" induction cooker and only the center circle (apx 4 in) gets hot no matter what temp setting it is on....does the NuWave do the same or does the outer circle get hot too? Makes for very uneven cooking on one I have....I have not tried cast iron yet it MIGHT cook more even.

Debbie,..is the NuWave better than the other brands like Max Burton or Nesco? The NuWave Amazon reviews are not as good as Max Burton or Nesco.

you did get a great deal, those pans of the same quality is the store would run you about 30 to 160 dollars each. bought speraletly, and the set would probaly run you anout 200 to 250.

I bought this online tonight....so excited to get it....and yeah it may be kinda pricey but like you said it seems totally worth it....so far from what you showed....looks pretty legit...i am surprised you didn't get the grill to go with it....that was what brought me to buy the whole thing in the first place....i am a little skeptical after all it is a "as seen on tv" product but you never know until you try....i just hope i don't learn the hard way with this one lol....

Thank you for your outstanding review.

I just ordered my set and am getting all you got for the $189.84. Let's see how it goes tomorrow when i test run this thing. I hope your video is legit and you didn't put us all on b/c u were paid to say it. :)

If you look in the book it tells you to put the setting to "SEAR" small soucepan 1 cup of water will start to boil at 60 seconds rolling boil at 90 seconds with the lid off

Well you could always order the grill attachment online, it's only 30 bucks or so plus the shipping. I'm buying this primarily for candy crafting. One of my favorite desserts is a dulce de leche and vanilla custard recipe. Have you every made anything like that with your cooktop? Considering it'd be next to impossible to burn the simmering milk with an induction top I think it'd turn out splendidly. I can give you the recipe too if you wanna give it a try.

had 2 for a few years now. if they stop working I will get more. I love mine.

HSN has this on special now!

I was going to order mine in Mar also, I ordered this AND the FlavorLockers set, but the PIC had a long Lead time. So, I cancelled. because of problems with accessories from FlavorLockers, have been staying abreast. Now the commercial is automatically upgrading To the PIC2...They also have a PIC Pro for $154 w/shp. Howeveer, I got th same deal as you and paid $224. PIC is ONLY 1300 watts 10.8 amps, I think the PIC2 is 1500 watts, The PIC Pro is 1800 watts, and 15amps. Glad I was forced to wait

As someone did say here you need to turn up to sear to bring to a fast boil. What you did should have only taken 90 seconds. And it was not boiling in this review. It was getting there. The temps on these cooktops do vary from what they say on the screen. That's why most manufactures don't list temps like nuwave. In regards to bed bath and beyond you can get 2 for $160 with coupons. And then you add back in the tax. Where I'm from that's 6%. And that's low compared to some. So that's $169.60. You do get a small pan with each. For about $21 more the tv deal is worth it. The additions are you get the pot & steamer insert and a bigger pan, and the fondue set. I think it's worth $21. And stop saying you cannot get better pans. You sure as hell can. I have calphalon tri ply. All induction ready. If all you need is one nuwave go to bed bath and beyond. If you want two then why not order direct for the extras?

She ain't lying...:D

If you're getting uneven heating, use a better grade pan.

The unit has a timer on it to you could have used...

So what is the total cost including shipping for everything please? Thanks.

So this is what Paula Dean is doing now, $238.85 is a decent deal for the package delivered to your door step, 2 cook tops, 2 pans, 1 pot,1 lid and a steamer = less than $35 bucks an item + fondu skewers... not $99 but not a scam.

Debbie, Be more prepared for this. It could been done in 7 minutes. Boil your water on high setting and it will take 1/2 the time, my regular stove will boil water in 5 minutes.You forgot to Say it's 30 for the first item, 30 for the second item, 30 for the third item and so on to ship. So that's 90 in shipping charges for two units and the " FREE " cookware. or 200 dollars. I also think they pay you. Just sayin

Nuwave has a buy one get one for $100 bucks!

thats bull crap we paidit al one time it coast us 180.00 bucks for it no payments it the shipping for all in one box you pay for 3 shipping for 1 box order it by phone and ask frist it works as it show shipping sucks

Better to boil on SEAR - boils MUCH faster - 90 seconds!!!

Is that paula deen talking?

i have got a PIC and it does work well but only complaint is that they never tell u that you need special pots and pans to use on these....and as for the nuwave oven i got plenty of complaints for that...1) is the plastic they use cracks after so long of using it and you need to buy to replace it, 2) the plastic which the metal liner goes into cracks or melts you need to buy to replace that,3) the top where the timer and temp control is can go at anytime and it will cost you 65 to 75 for another top plus S&H.....so it is up to each individuals thoughts of what they think.....

Oh, wait...um!

The product is good, but the shipping cost is a scam. Just go to Bed Bath and Beyond, and with the 20% discount it's way cheaper. That's what I did.

Nice you made the video but it is like watching grass grow you take so long on the info. Please speed it up

I was very dissatisfied eith the nuwave products I wasn't told you have to use there pots,theyoffered buy one get one free they charge 89.95 for shipping I checked amazon and the cost is 69.99 and walmart was 99.oo I called toreturn them and ihad to pay return shipping nuwave as seen on tv is stealing from people and falseadvertizing

it did not start boiling fast enough as shown on their tv. ad, it started boiling right away, i was interested in purchasing this product until i started doing the s/h math which adds up to $100.00 on its own and then the 3 pymts of 33.95 is another $100.00 so $99.00 turned into $216.00 just like that. i wrote them to find out how much it would cost to send everything in one box or altogether today, bet it is much cheaper so actually to me this has hidden sales tactics written all over it, guess you do not have to have the freebees however, except you need the special pans, i had a green pan and had to send it back as the inside started chipping off. they also have a known shopping network host advertising this burner.

I got scam and I don't think they honor their customers the Shipping is to high this is crazy to many different lies told by customer service

Um!

stainless is not magnetic

How can you review a product when you haven't actually used it?

This product is a scam i read up on it...any silly info mercial products are all the same deal...read up on this before these guys hook you

After just buying the same set you did online and then reading several negative reviews I wondered if I made a mistake and even gave thought to calling my bank and canceling (which would have been a cost similar to one shipping fee).
