- gibspaulding 5y agoI'm not sure what you're looking at, but my wife and I have a mix of cast iron and some stainless steel that has been great and I don't think we paid more than $50 for any one piece.
- sidewndr46 5y agoI believe the question is asking about the induction cooktop. Which indeed does seem to cost about $1500.
- greedo 5y agoHe's referencing the induction cooktop. It's $1499 MSRP.
- gibspaulding 5y agoAhh that makes sense! For what it's worth, the cooktop we're using was $200. It is a bit rubbish: coil whine and the temp control is pretty coarse, but serviceable. I haven't looked, but I'd guess there's a sensible middle ground somewhere in between!
- amluto 5y agoTo be fair, a high end built-in induction range for four pans can easily cost $6k or more. www.njori.com is a currently-vaporware device that looks potentially even better than the Control Freak and is substantially less expensive.

- giaour 5y agoI have a one-pan induction cooktop that I got at Best Buy for $50 that I use whenever I need more precise temperature control than I can get from my gas range (e.g., when I make candy or meringue). I bet the Breville cooktop is much better than mine, but you don't need to spend anywhere near that amount to get something decent.
- stephencanon 5y agoYep, I have a $50 one that I use for boiling maple sap outdoors in the spring, but also indoors whenever it's useful to be able to set up a cook surface somewhere other than the kitchen. It doesn't have the super-precise control of the Breville, but it's still a great tool.
