More from this brandAll Nuwave countertop burnersOverview
Ninety-four temperature settings in 5-degree steps give the Nuwave Pro Chef precise control other portable burners skip, from a 100 F warm setting up to a 575 F sear on an 8-inch induction coil. It suits home cooks, van or RV setups, and light commercial kitchens needing NSF certification.
NSF certification and a shatter-proof ceramic glass surface point this toward semi-commercial kitchens as well as home counters, but induction only heats compatible cookware: cast iron and induction-ready steel work well, while regular aluminum or glass pans won't heat at all. A cooling fan runs audibly during use, which some buyers notice but say isn't disruptive.
- 8-inch induction heating coil
- Shatter-proof ceramic glass surface
- NSF-certified for commercial use
- Automatic shutoff when cookware is removed
Who it's for
Suits van-life and overlanding cooks, small commercial kitchens needing NSF certification, and anyone who wants precise temperature control for searing or simmering. Not for anyone without induction-compatible cookware, since the coil won't heat non-magnetic pans.
Pros and cons
- Heats cast iron to searing temperature quickly
- 94 temperature settings in 5 F steps
- Works outdoors, unaffected by wind
- Auto shutoff and programmable timer
- Only works with induction-compatible cookware
- Cooling fan is audible during use
- Larger footprint than some portable burners
Performance notes
The coil heats magnetic cookware directly rather than the surrounding air, so a cast iron pan can reach 475 F on the 900W setting in a short time, with searing happening close to gas-burner speed. The 94 preset temperatures in 5-degree steps let cooks hold a specific point, such as a 100 F warming setting, rather than guessing between low and high.
