The Control ºFreak

Temperature Controlled Commercial Induction Cooking System

Polyscience Control Freak Breville commercial food cooking induction cooktop stove Freak burner hob

Polyscience Control Freak Breville commercial food cooking induction cooktop stove Freak burner hob

Breville|PolyScience is the leading manufacturer of cutting-edge equipment for chefs and mixologists, including sous vide immersion circulators, the Control ºFreak, the Smoking Gun Pro, Anti-Griddle, Sonicprep, Rotary Vacuum Evaporator, and other culinary technologies. By bringing precision, innovation, and great design to the culinary world we aim to build products that give operators ultimate control so they can focus on delivering their best creative work.

The Control ºFreak

Where precision meets control.

The Control °Freak induction cooking system accurately measures, sets and holds 397 cooking temperatures from 86°-482°F. The unique real-time sensing system uses a through-glass sensor to directly measure surface temperature. The Probe Control thermometer precisely controls the temperature of any liquid. The Intensity function gives incredible control over the heating speed to the set temperature. A Create function stores frequently used temperature profiles for simple one-touch recall.

  • NSF Certified - NSF/ANSI Standard 4, NSF International, December 17, 2015
  • Probe Control closed loop cooking
  • Heat intensity control
  • Dual fan cooling system
  • Programmable
  • Built-in, programmable timer
  • Durable stainless steel housing and high-heat resistant ceramic glass

Probe Control for wet cooking

Directly sensing the temperature of the ingredients, Probe Control can set and hold the temperature stability of ingredients to within +-1.8ºF. Ideal for 'wet' cooking and remains accurate in liquids as shallow as 5mm deep. In delicate applications such as making curds, cremes, emulsified sauces or even tempering chocolate - Probe Control ensures success through precise temperature control.

Probe Control Oil for frying

Directly sensing the temperature of frying oil, Probe Control Oil can set and hold the temperature stability of the frying oil to within +-1.8ºF. Ideal for deep frying. Because the probe is monitoring the temperature of the oil directly, any change like adding cold or frozen food is detected almost immediately. Power is applied and regulated to return back to set temperature as quickly as possible.

Pan Control for all cooking

Only constant monitoring and the finest adjustments to power can ensure stable temperature. The Control ºFreak checks temperature 20 times per second to make virtually instantaneous adjustments to power to keep temperature variation to a minimum. Whether you are toasting spices & nuts or searing steaks, Pan Control ensures the perfect doneness every time.

Engineered for reliability

Any commercial cooker needs to perform hour after hour at very high temperatures, but if a regular induction cooker gets too hot it cuts out. The Control Freak's twin fan cooling system keeps you cooking all night even at searing / frying temperatures in the hottest kitchen.

Control heat intensity

When cooking delicate dishes you often need to raise the temperature slowly to distribute heat evenly. When cooking at searing temperatures you often need to heat up fast. With the Control ºFreak you can automatically adjust the speed to set temperature like never before.

Create. Save. Repeat.

On any given day the Control ºFreak may be used for any number of dishes on your menu. Now you don't have to remember the cooking times and temperatures, you can save them and recall them as required, or copy them to other machines for repeatability and consistency.

Tougher than a restaurant critic

It doesn't matter if it's heavy knocks, hot spills, or pots weighing 200 lbs, this machine is meant for the commercial kitchen. With and extra thick skin of commercial grade stainless steel and a heat-resistant Tritan display, the Control ºFreak is tough enough to take all of the punishment your kitchen can dish out!

Demeyere Atlantis cookware compatibility hack
I finally found a hack for the ControlFreak to recognize my Demeyere Atlantis induction cookware.1. Power on the ControlFreak.2. Place pan off center, I do it where the pan edge touches the edge of the glass.3. Set the ControlFreak temperature. Wait a few seconds.4. Pick up the pan and place it in the middle. I have picked up the pot and waited as long as 15 seconds and it still recognizes the pan.5. It’s not in the pictures, but I put parchment paper over the ControlFreak to reduce pan scratching. No paper burning! Nice hack picked up from another user.At first, I spent a lot of time with eggs. I produced delicate omelettes, creamy scrambled eggs, lovely poached eggs, perfect lemon curd, nice hollandaise.I fried wonderful chicken, made perfectly toasted pecans, tasty brown butter, tempered chocolate, stirred up saucepan brownies.This hack is with no thanks to Breville and Demeyere customer service. When you call them, be prepared to wait. A while. They are courteous to a fault. Both blamed the other, but a Breville engineer eventually admitted he had heard anecdotal evidence of Demeyere Atlantis incompatibility. So I'll call both and plan to be on hold. Maybe I'll stir a pot of risotto.

Genius. Precise temperature control. It’s so convenient, and well designed. It very quickly goes to the set temperature, and stays there. I use to use an infrared thermometer, to measure the pan temperature. It worked, but this is much more convenient and accurate. The temperature probe works good too. As noted in a few other reviews, the induction area is medium sized. For the price, it could be bigger (like my induction stove top). But it’s not a big problem, I use a high quality (thick) pan, that distributes the heat, pretty well. The only big down side, is the insanely high price. I used camelcamelcamel, and got notified of a sale. It was still very expensive, but worth it, because of how well it works, and how much I use it.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this thing

I love my Breville Control Freak. It gives me an additional 10-inch burner, since my built-in, 30-inch induction cooktop only has one burner that size. But more than that, it lets me set specific temperatures and turns out the best omelets ever, not that one should have to spend $1500 to get an omelet maker. I use it for many other things, as well. It's fun, if things like this can actually be fun. It's one of those things you don't NEED in your life, but if it's in your budget and you want it, it's a nice addition. The price seems insane, but the product seems to be built well.

My main reason for adding this review is to give another opinion on Demeyere Atlantis and Proline pans operating on this device. I have had no issue with my pans, but they are rather new (last couple years). I can't remember where I read it, but at some point in the last 10-15 years, Demeyere changed something in their pans so that they work even better with induction. Could this be what is causing the problem for the other people having issues with it? I don't know. But I have tested multiple Demeyere Atlantis and Proline pans on mine, and they all work and give no errors. I can't answer whether there is an issue with these other users' devices or if it's the pans themselves, but don't let a couple reviews deter you from buying. If you have those pans and it ends up not working for you, Amazon will take it back within 30 days. I feel bad for the couple people who have had the issues, though. I would be upset about it, too, as this Control Freak gives this control freak a lot of joy! You could only pry it from my cold, dead hands.

I’ve been eyeing this product for the longest of time. I like that its highly accurate in displaying the cookware’s temperature (witnessed the temperature dropped after adding two cups if water into my dish). The price was holding me back. Realizing that the robustness and the fact that it’s primarily for chef who are fully aware of temperature requirements for everything and I live the fact tgat with all its technological features, it has no “connection” to wifi or any apps. I lived in a Studio with a very tiny counter/cooking area. I haven’t tried most of its feature but I love the complete control of tge temperature! I LOVE THIS DEVICE.

5.0 out of 5 stars This might make a cook out of me yet

I am not rich and I am not a cook but Here is my story. I grew up and have always owned a house with gas stoves until I moved to Florida and began renting. The house once had the old style electric coil type and was replaced with a glass top after a hurricane remodel. I found out the glass top with a more pleasing look in the kitchen is hard to maybe impossible to control the heat and cleaning the glass is tough. I would constantly have to remove the pan after turning down the heat. It seems it was either boiling or barely heating. I know about induction heating because I use it in my job. I looked at cheaper units but the temp control was just a ball park of 10 or more degrees and low medium and high type of settings. I ran across this Breville unit and was intrigued enough to start watching videos to see if up to $1350 difference was justifiable and with the close temp control using pan contact and probe instead of taking temp of glass under pan or timed on off like my glass top and it was the best route for me. As I said, I'm not a cook and I don't need my equipment making it any harder on me than necessary. I didn't think I would use the memory part of the stove but I have found out that I can experiment using different settings and change them the next time if the previous didn't work well. Kind of like our phones to day, most of us don't remember numbers any more, the phone does. The build quality seems very good, settings are easy. Read a paragraph and the buttons and dials are intuitive. I think this company is an Australian company but disappointingly manufactured in China. Would rather have seen it made in Australia, the USA or many other countrys other than China. Now to see what the longevity will be. I gambled $1400 that it will be a long time.
Some people have complained of lightweight pans not sitting down because the pressure of the temp sensor and I have that problem with A small stainless skillet. With the pan empty and preheating the pressure of the button and the weight of the SS handle will tip the pan up. I compensate for this by moving the handle side towards the sensor until even weight sits over the sensor and once food is in it I move it back to center for even heat. This may not work for some but it might for others. I need a few induction pans so I am purposely looking for heavier pans.
If I ever buy another house and it doesn't have gas, I will definitely have a full size induction stove or a cook top instead of resistance heat stove.

4.0 out of 5 stars If You Are a Control Freak Then this is For You

This induction cooktop is so over the top but compared to all the cheap models it leaves them in the dust. Heat control to the degree, easy to use and clean I think this makes you a better cook especially if you are not a professional. Being able to dial a temperature takes the guess work out of cooking and removes the error that comes with gas or electric cooktops when you overshoot your temperature.

Update February 2024: I’ve been using this instead of the electric cooktop in our apartment for going on six months. So much better to use. Today I used it for sous vide steak and it worked great, as well as I managed with the Anova immersion heater. Even programmed the temperature and duration. When done I used the Control Freak to sear the steak.
