In a NON-Cooking application, I need to use one to use the Inductive Field... BUT, would need a way to get it to RUN without needing a pot, etc. Any?

The thing doesn't turn on without a pot on it, or doesn't stay on if you take a pot off, and it beeps at you to let you know.

Its only designed to run with induction cookware. It will probably only work thru the cookware what ever you do.

Well.....This IH cooker is not able to be activated when there is no suitable material(iron...etc) on it. You might have to modify the circuit board to turn off the sensor.

It is very much usable on induction. I use my WMF pressure cookers on my induction units and they perform perfectly. Stash a small magnet in your coin purse and use it to test cookware before buying.

It's like a thermos. You bring the inner pot to a boil, place it into the insulated container and it maintains that boiling temperature so it continues to cook your food not using any electricity or gas.

It works well with induction. I used it to brew and it got about 6 gallons starting to boil in 25ish minutes. I usually use gas and it worked a lot faster than gas. And I'm talking about the magnetic induction.

Yes you can, it's an easy modification. Remember to use magnetic pots and pans for cooking, otherwise it will not work. Instant and temperature controlled heat. A great product and technology!

No. To work on an induction cook top the utensil needs to have a magnetic field in the bottom of the pan. This doesn't have that contruction.

In order for this pot to be use on an induction range you must have an interface disk to place the pot on. Cooking vessels must be made of ferromagnetic metal to be used on induction ranges, I do not know if this pot contains that metal. I have a gas range and this pot works beautifully....I am so sorry I did not purchase another one.

I have no knowledge or experience regarding induction cooking ... sorry I cannot answer your question.

I have to agree with Michael...I sent mine back as it was scratched up, looked used and every time I plugged it in the controller smoked (I tried 8-10 times). Was afraid to even give it a whirl, so wouldn't recommend. My suggestion: invest in a 1600 watt portable induction cooktop and use your own clad induction ready cookware. With those you can use them as a slow cooker. It's the solution I finally came up with.I never took the opportunity to measure volume since, as I said, the controller smoked, even after leaving it plugged in for 30+ minutes 8-10 times. It did look to hold 4 qts. to the top, but would advise using only 2-3 qts., just in case it boiled over.

No experience, but I read that it will work on inductio when I was trying to find a way to cook using less electricity. Induction seems to be a form of microwave, but less harmful. I did read that one needs to be very careful and have the pan exactly over the induction area or the waves sort of touch the user. Not correct wording, but that can be researched.

Theoretically speaking, not really, since it's cast aluminum, which is not magnetic. The magnetic field generated by the induction cooker will travel too far in aluminum and also result in very little resistance, which is needed to generate heat. However, I have never tried it on an induction stove. If there's a thin layer of iron or steel imbedded in the pot, then it will work well, otherwise you'll be wasting your electricity.

Yes! We purchased it after buying our inductive cooktop. Because of the sloping sides, we don't use it very often, but it works great for induction cooking.

Because I was not familiar with induction cooking I looked it on internet and the following is what was said:"For nearly all models of induction cooktop, a cooking vessel must be made of a ferromagnetic metal, or placed on an interface disk which enables non-induction cookware to be used on induction cooking surfaces."Now to the best of my knowledge the poacher is made of an aluminum alloy with a Teflon coating and therefore I would assume that youwould need to use an interface disk. I hope this response has been helpful to you.

Just a quick correction to Mr Sato's answer. Induction does indeed use magnetic fields to excite the molecules in the metal of your pan/pot/kettle and provide heat. HOWEVER, not all metal will work, only ferrous (i.e. magnetic) metal. In short, if a magnet will stick to the bottom of the pot/pan/kettle, it will work on induction. If not, it will not.

Induction cooktops of all brands, work with any cookware that is magnetic ( induction cookware by nature is magnetic). All induction cookers generate a field that excites the magnetic molecules in the cooking device, causing them to vibrate and generate heat. So...whatever it was you read, you are remembering it wrong. I have no knowledge of Nuwave products, other than the horror stories reported on the web.

Excellent for a college student!! Almost impossible to do anything wrong (almost... You never know what college students may do! &#128540;) It is induction, meaning it uses a magnet (so the cookware must be magnetic like cast iron or stainless steel. Aluminum and copper will not work) to 'activate' the element so the unit will not turn on and/or turns off when the pot is removed. If the pot is removed while the unit is still powered on the unit will sound a rather loud beep/tone until the pot/pan is returned or the unit is powered off. Also, if the unit begins to over-heat... Like with long cooking (a good 'low and slow' pot roast for instance) it will beep and cycle off to cool, then beep and cycle back on. This can be a little disconcerting until you realize it is just a safety feature to protect the unit. Once it is shut off, it does also have a cooling fan that will run for about a minute before it completely shuts off. Just FYI for the safety too... One of the greatest parts of induction cooking is that nothing outside of the pan gets hot. You can actually place a paper towel between the pan and the unit while it is cooking (yes I have done this, to protect the glass top from being scratched by the rough bottom of a cast iron skillet) without the paper burning.

No. You need the JKH. http://www.unikinghi.com/tiger-rice-cooker-induction-heating-jkj-g10u-jkj-g18u.html
