Overview
A commercial-grade portable induction cooktop rated at 1800 watts with an 8 inch coil and 94 temperature settings from 100 to 575F in 5F steps. NSF certified with a shatter-proof ceramic glass surface.
Induction cooktops heat the pan directly through a magnetic field instead of heating the glass surface, so the Pro Chef needs induction-compatible flat-bottom cookware to work well. It offers three selectable wattage levels for lower-draw situations like an RV, plus capacitive touch controls in place of older mechanical buttons.
- 1800W with 900/1500/1800W settings
- 8 inch heating coil
- 94 temperature settings, 100 to 575F
- NSF-certified shatter-proof glass
Who it's for
Works for anyone easing into induction cooking, RV and camper owners who need lower-wattage options, or renters who want precise temperature control without installing a range. Not a fit for cooks who rely mainly on round-bottom woks or non-induction cookware.
Pros and cons
- Wide 100 to 575F range in 5F steps
- Power draw drops at lower temperature settings
- Capacitive touch controls avoid worn mechanical buttons
- Does not heat the surrounding room
- Requires induction-compatible flat-bottom cookware
- Loses power on curved or sloped pan sides
Performance notes
Power draw scales down at lower temperatures rather than cycling a fixed wattage, which matters for anyone running it off a battery inverter. Cookware with sloped or curved sides, like a round-bottom wok, loses induction power as the surface lifts away from the coil.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Nuwave Pro Chef work with any pot or pan?
No, it needs induction-compatible cookware with a flat, magnetic bottom; curved surfaces like a round-bottom wok lose power toward the edges.
