 “For the opening of The Aviary NYC, we decided to only use Breville|PolyScience Control Freak Induction Burners. The versatility, power, and precision are critical for our operations and why we decided to only use the Control Freak.”

Grant Achatz

 “The Control Freak is one of the most aptly named devices we have used. While other induction burners can be powerful, this one combines power (fast heat delivery) with precision (set to a specific temperature), which is something we haven’t experienced with other induction burners.”

Francisco Migoya
Head Chef Modernist Cuisine

 “The level of accuracy offered by the Control Freak makes it the perfect surface for virtually any cooking process as well as a precision analytical tool for all aspects of traditional and modern cuisine. It’s temperature precision and stability coupled with durable commercial construction assures consistent operation in the toughest environments while the ability to store cooking profiles and program gives users complete consistency in their recipes and applications.”

Shola Olunloyo 

 “I love what the geniuses at Breville and PolyScience have done with the utilitarian but not usually versatile induction burner.  With their newest iteration, the Control Freak, they have created a unit which does what it says and much more!  I am able to use the Control Freak in my kitchen and even better when I am on the road, to cook with incredible precision in a way that hasn’t been possible before.

With the smart probe, I can oil poach fish, hold my soup at exact temperatures, and do this all in a catering hall with a strict rules concerning open flames.  The Control Freak has become a staple in my prep kitchens, off premise events, and demonstrations.  I love it.”
