NuWave Upgraded Cooktop with Digital Probe
This combines a probe with a full 1,800 watts and a 575°F top setting, so it can both hold a gentle temperature and sear hard. Eggs were excellent; owners mention a loud fan, and I agree.
My verdict
My verdict: Buy it if you want a probe and full 1,800-watt power for searing. Skip it if a loud fan bothers you.
