Breville | PolyScience Control Freak™ Induction Cooking System

The Most Precise Induction Cooktop Ever Made

Welcome to the gold standard of induction cooking. The Breville Control Freak—engineered in collaboration with PolyScience—is the world’s first commercial-grade temperature-controlled induction cooktop capable of setting and holding precise temperatures from 30°C to 250°C. This is more than just an induction cooker. It’s your culinary lab bench, precision fryer, sous vide controller, chocolate tempering wizard, and slow-cook specialist—all in one. If you're a professional chef, technical cook, or food innovator, this is the tool that puts you in complete control. No flame. No guesswork. No temperature swings. Just unparalleled consistency and creativity at your fingertips.

Why the Control Freak is a Game-Changer

Say goodbye to “low, medium, high.” The Control Freak allows you to measure, set, and hold one of 220 cooking temperatures with ±1°C accuracy. You’ll never burn butter or overshoot a hollandaise again. - Pan Control™: Directly measures pan surface temperature through glass. Reacts to changes instantly. - Probe Control™: Included remote thermometer precisely controls water or oil-based cooking (sous vide, broths, custards). - Heat Intensity Control: Set how fast or slow the temperature climbs—ideal for delicate ingredients like chocolate or eggs. - Create & Save Functions: Program your own multi-stage cooking profiles and save them for repeat use or share via USB. - USB Port: Import/export presets or apply firmware updates as new features roll out. The Control Freak checks the temperature 20 times per second and makes real-time micro-adjustments to maintain absolute stability. Whether you’re deep-frying, candy-making, fermenting, or caramelizing—you’re in complete command.

Performance Built for the Most Demanding Kitchens

Trusted by some of the world’s best chefs (including Thomas Keller at The French Laundry), this isn’t just an appliance—it’s an essential part of a modern kitchen toolkit. - 2400W Power Output: Built to handle high-temperature sears or long-duration simmering. - Commercial-Grade Stainless Steel: Durable enough for the busiest restaurants. - Twin-Fan Cooling System: Keeps electronics cool even during 72-hour slow cooks or continuous high-heat frying. - IPX3 Water Resistance: Protected against spills and steam in real commercial settings. - NSF Certified & UL/IEC Listed: Meets rigorous hygiene and electrical safety standards for professional use. With unmatched durability, an intuitive colour LCD display, and dishwasher-safe control knobs, this unit is as practical as it is powerful.
