NuWave PIC2 Precision induction cooktop vs. PRO – Hob
The Nuwave Induction Cooktop is produced by Heartware Inc. There are five models: Nuwave PIC, PIC2, PIC PRO, PIC Flex, Dual PIC. Heartware Inc. has created an amazing product that has improved over time to meet users’ needs.
I’ve read the buyer’s report that I don’t cook anymore, and it’s true because this portable induction hob has a lot of functions that allow you to program the whole cooking cycle.
I will compare two popular models you try before you buy to see if the price difference is worth it: Nuwave PIC2 and Nuwave PIC PRO Induction Cooktops.
PIC2 – Induction hob with microwave 2
The Nuwave 2 Precision Induction Cooktop (PIC2) is one of the richest portable induction hobs on the market for home use. It has an LED display and 10 controls: Start, Break/Clean, Prog, Time, Low, Honey Low, Honey High, Honey High, Max/Sire. The last six controls relate to the temperature setting and are convenient so that a specific temperature is easily accessible for cooking.
Med Low – for cooking (175 F)
Med – for steaming (275 F)
Med High – for baking (375 F)
High – for boiling/soup (425 F)
Max/Serd – for fast cooking (525 F)
You can use 52 temperature levels from 100 F to 525 F. There is a 10 degree step that allows you to reach the desired temperature with the plus and minus buttons.
With the Nuwave PIC2 induction cooktop, 100 hours of program time can be used to make cooking steps. The concept of the culinary scene will help you not to keep the food.
The product has six sensors that help diagnose problems that may occur while using the product.
Coil or shell induction test
Fault sensor
Low voltage sensor
High voltage sensor
Overheating
Total time sensor
One of my favorite safety features is that spilled liquids do not burn, so the hob is easy to clean and there is no smoke. A detailed analysis of this hob and customer comments can be found here.
PIC PRO – induction cooktop with Nuva induction / cooktop
The Nuwave PIC PRO induction cooktop is designed with performance in mind. It has an output of 1800 W and can boil water in one minute.
NuWave PIC PRO
The manufacturer has introduced a five-minute temperature control so that you can get close to the temperature required by the recipe. The surface area is now half an inch larger than that of the NuWave PIC 2, so you can use a 9 ½ inch (24.13 cm) lower drawer.
The nice thing for customers is that the product comes with a full warranty of two years. See what buyers say here

Conclusion
If you need a larger cooking surface, more precise temperature control and a longer warranty, you should use the NuWave PIC PRO. If you are not too picky, you can use the NuWave PIC2, which is lighter and has the same high-quality materials and controls as the NuWave PIC PRO.
Since there is a significant cost difference between the two, I would choose to purchase two Nuwave PIC2 induction hobs.
Updated in 2016 : The price difference is now almost 10 usd. Now I would choose Nuwave Pic Pro
