Nuwave Double Cooktop Induction Countertop Burner
Score: 86/100Rankings
The Nuwave Double Cooktop Induction provides precise temperature control from 100 °F to 575 °F across two independent zones, delivering up to 2.7 kW of power with induction efficiency. Its heavier build and requirement for compatible cookware may limit portability for some users, and warranty details are unclear. It excels for cooks who value exact temperature settings and multitasking in compact spaces.
The Broil King PCG-10 is a professional-grade portable electric griddle with a large non-stick surface and strong, even heating. Its main trade-offs are a higher price point and a tendency to overheat when run empty. Ideal for families or small groups that value cooking consistency and easy cleanup.

Professional reviewers highlight the PCG-10's ability to hold a steady temperature-around 350°F when empty and 300-320°F when loaded-across the entire cooking surface, noting its superior build quality, effective splatter protection, and even heat distribution that outperforms cheap department-store models, while cautioning about the risk of overheating when operated empty.
Everyday users appreciate the large cooking area, easy cleanup with the removable tray and immersible base, and reliable heat for staples like bacon and omelets, but they frequently mention occasional uneven spots, overheating when left on without food, and a perception that the price is high relative to basic alternatives.
“Large cooking area for family meals”
“Even heat distribution maintains ~300-350°F consistently across surface”
Everyday users consistently praise the Nuwave PIC Double for its convenience, precise temperature control, and the flexibility of cooking two dishes at once. The large, readable buttons and noticeable energy savings are frequently mentioned, while no significant recurring complaints appear in the available sources.
