How not to make mac n cheese | Bluetti EB3A & Nuwave induction cooktop | Solar Generator Limitations

[@colacurciolaw7745]

Kathy's Camp Kitchen used her NuWave on the 600 watt setting to boil refrigerated cheese soup with the Bluetti EB3A. No mention of error codes. Interesting.

Very interesting indeed! I just saw her video and was surprised. Glad it worked out for her. She warmed up the soup but it didn’t get to exactly 212 degrees for boiling water but got it close enough to warm up the soup.

Great video! I figured the error would make it not heat at all. Thanks for sticking with it!

[@mclaine33]

Welcome! And thank you!

Well you could always use the water to make a cup of coffee👍

I have a 500w hot plate, not induction, and was really happy to have made coffee with my moka pot using the Ebla without power mode. There’s also a 300w heater/rice cooker I’m considering for it, because it can actually cook a fairly wide range of food using only 300w. I could be wrong, but maybe this experiment could have worked with a smaller pot and less water?

500 watt hot plate is perfect for the EB3A and would also be ideal for the powerlifting mode since it’s not induction.

The power station I have I was thinking of the nuwave but only for making pancakes , heating up slices of pizza.

[@mclaine33]

It can definitely heat up small things. Boiling a lot of water however is not one of those things lol.

This is why Americans dont have kettles. You were heating at 600W, even less than a standard wall outlet. Kettles in the UK run at 2300W (230V, 10A). Also not sure exactly how that particular induction hob works, but most are actually nominally 1200W, and switching on/off many times a second in low power mode.

Seen a guy run a washing machine on a eb3a. What next I wonder.

[@cloudsteele1989]

Well...I can run my 1500W heater for about 30 minutes in power lifting mode, but then it's dead. XD

[@forevertwowheels2047]

Make some fire and cook over that. Problem solved.

[@mclaine33]

Ha with how small the battery is, I certainly would have to go that route if I was out in the wilderness lol

[@lesterng5748]

You're using 2c on the battery not good for the battery

[@mclaine33]

Not sure what you mean by 2C? It’s called powerlift mode. Yes it’s not recommended and should only be used short term in an emergency. I made this video to show that it’s technically possible. But would not be ideal on a daily basis

[@lesterng5748]

2c is the speed the battery discharge to battery rated capacity so if your battery is rated 100w and you're discharging at 200w that would be 2c
