Could This Be the Best Induction 36-Inch Cooktop?

Very cool. Thank you for sharing Steve.

[@ryansoo4000]

So when you recommend a certain appliance are you only speaking about that size or are the same benefits available in other sizes, such as a 30 inch model?

Very nice. I wish induction cook-tops came in other colors besides black. GE has a gray one that's pleasing to look at.

[@YaleAppliance1]

Look at Thermador

@@YaleAppliance1 Thank you!!! The model where you can cook anywhere on the surface is amazing!

Gaggenau released the Essential invisible induction cooktops, do you know when it will come to the US and should I rough in my island for it?

Havent seen anything....but will inquire

A friend bought an induction cook top and discovered that when he lifted the pan to flip the food, it turned off. Very annoying. He went back to gas. Do the new induction cooktops still do this? Cheers, Peter

[@YaleAppliance1]

Yes...the magnets need to sense metal

[@Matt-rm2zf]

No they don't, there is a time period that allows you to lift or move a pan without it turning off. It shouldn't immediately turn off as soon as you lift a pan. That would be useless. I have 2 induction tops over 15 years and neither did what you are describing.

someone should make a gas/induction mix cooktop///one side gas one side induction

[@YaleAppliance1]

SKS, Thermador and Fisher Paykel have that combo

What I can't understand is the aesthetics of higher-end induction cooktops. You wanna spend €/$ 3,000 on an induction cooktop - they look exactly the same as a el cheapo €/$550 induction cooktop. Given premium appliance customers want both aesthetics AND performance one would think more would be offering more attractive solutions. The only non "black sheet of glass" I have seen is the Viking 5 Series. Thoughts?

GE has a gray induction cook-top.

Rich people don’t need to flex their induction cooktops

Capacitive touch controls are an instant deal breaker for me. No physical controls = No purchase.

For induction cooktop, I can live with it.😂
