Our take on the Nuwave PIC Pro Chef

The NuWave PIC Pro Chef is a portable 1800-watt induction cooktop with an 8-inch heating area and temperature control from 100°F to 575°F in 5° steps. It also lets you cap power at 900, 1500 or 1800 watts, which helps on shared kitchen circuits. At $199.99 at Amazon as of November 6, 2026, it sits at the top of its recent range, so it is not a bargain moment. It suits cooks who want burner-level precision in a small footprint rather than a full range replacement.

Questions and answers

What pans work on the NuWave PIC Pro Chef?
You need induction-compatible cookware with a magnetic base, such as cast iron or magnetic stainless steel. Aluminum, copper and most glass pots will not heat.
Can it run on a standard outlet?
Yes. It draws 15 amps at 120 V, so it needs a standard 15-amp circuit. Use the 900 or 1500 W setting if other appliances share the circuit.
How precise is the temperature?
You can set it from 100°F to 575°F in 5° increments, and the default preset is 375°F. Owners report steady low-heat holding for simmering.
Is it worth $199.99?
That is the top of its recent range, so you are paying for precision and portability, not a deal. If you mainly need a fast boil, a cheaper single burner does that for less.
What is in the box?
The cooktop itself, with a 1-year manufacturer's warranty. Induction-ready pans are sold separately.
When is it cheapest?
Prices on this model tend to dip during holiday sales and Prime Day events. Set a price alert rather than buying at the current high.
