NuWave, LLC. This versatile countertop appliance uses induction technology to save time, energy, and money. The NuWave Precision Induction Cooktop Pro Chef is efficient, safe, fast, and easy to clean. And because you can program times and temperatures from warm to sear, you can make almost any kind of food without the risk of under or overcooking.

What is Induction Cooking? The NuWave PIC Pro Chef is comprised of a series of induction coils (based on magnetic principles). These coils generate magnetic fields that produce a warming reaction in steel and iron-based pots and pans. In this way, heat is generated in the cookware and not on the cooktop surface, which is much more energy-efficient than traditional gas or electric ranges.
