Very helpful, thanks!

[@athertonappliancebsc]

You are most welcome! It is one of the most popular induction units here in 2024!

[@BTx789]

1:07 Now, is it easier to center your cookware? MKBHD should review this!

[@athertonappliancebsc]

Thanks for your comment! As the chef, you have the ultimate control of where things go and having a bridging option allows you to do that!

[@ihasmax]

I’m sad wolf seems to be not doing physical knobs for their induction ranges. I get it for the cooktop but for the full range it doesn’t need to be limited. I’ve been using induction for a few years and my last range was fully touch based (KitchenAid) and touch is just objectively worse

[@athertonappliancebsc]

Thanks for your comment! These newer models fall into their transitional and contemporary design styles, which you won't find many knobs. Many brands will incorporate knobs with their induction cooking when going with the professional style. Ultimately, you are the chef and it comes down to what you are comfortable with using everyday and how it looks in your kitchen.

[@tonyc4669]

Please tell Wolf to make available an updated 15 in transitional induction cooktop. I want to pair a 15 in induction cooktop with the 15 in gas wok burner. I would really to have an updated induction version with better performance than previous version. Also, can new version automatically turn on the vent hood? I hope so in order to keep up with others.

[@athertonappliancebsc]

Thank you for your detailed comment! We have passed this comment on to the manufacture. We will update this comment if we here anything new about new modular cooktops. The new induction cooktops do not automatically turn on when paired with a hood. However, the cooktop controls automatically lock when not in use for increased safety, which is a nice automatic touch!

[@DJDJ-ek9tu]

It would be nice for you to talk about the coil size of each burner and what size pots you can use. Most inductions use a 6” and 9” so using a pot that is larger like the 12”pans, the heat will only be where the coil is. Until they make bigger coils I will stick with my Wolf Gas Range 😊

[@athertonappliancebsc]

Thank you for the comment! This is an awesome topic that we get to speak on every day! The coil vs. burner size isn't what the issue is here. For example: If you are using the largest burner on an induction cooktop vs. the highest BTU burner on your gas range, the induction will bring you to your desired temperature faster, especially if you are boiling water (and is more responsive on lower temperatures). The ability to retain the heat transfer that the induction surface to the pan is more efficient than that of gas. With the gas range, yes you may see the flame surrounding your pan, but you are indeed losing heat in the process. We would love to have you in our showroom so you may compare the strength of induction vs gas cooking appliances!

[@shirinhapp9443]

I use 6” or 8” pan and it works only small round in the middle gets hot and burned while around the pot doesn’t even get hot

[@StringBanger]

Looks like a great unit. I inquired to have one for my house but these are back ordered until Jan unfortunately.

[@athertonappliancebsc]

Lead times aren't what they used to be, but they are improving! I would love to hear more about your project and see if there is anything we can do to better assist!

[@StringBanger]

@@athertonappliancebsc I spoke to multiple reps and each had the same repsonse. We put the order in and willing to wait for it.

[@boots1801]

With the contemporary, would there be a gap between the cooktop and the counter? If there is, could anything fall through?

[@athertonappliancebsc]

Thank you for your comment! You could install this cooktop flush or standard. Both quick reference installation guides are available on their website. With a successful installation for either method, food or debris would not fall through.

[@boots1801]

@@athertonappliancebsc you're the goat

[@kettlebelle290]

Did Wolf do away with the four way bridge feature, where you can bridge all four of the small elements for oversized cookware? Or the ability to bridge left & right elements? Are the two middle elements the only ones capabile of bridging? 😢

[@athertonappliancebsc]

Thank you for your comment! Great questions. We reviewed the use and care guides of both new and former models. The newest models vertically bridge, so the two elements would pair with the elements below it. The former models had the four way bridge icon, but the new ones do not. An interesting note also: Boost mode is not available for the bridge function!

[@damham5689]

Ive read several reviews on Wolf induction cooktops and a common theme seems to be that the touch controls dont want to work if your fingers are wet or messy. And anyone who cools knows wet and messy hands are common when cooking. Has Wolf addressed this problem?

[@athertonappliancebsc]

Thank you for your comment! Wolf has changed the user interface for the control panel on the new induction cooktops and it is aesthetically visible. We have yet to hear any issues regarding this concern.

[@UQRXD]

I wish I could afford octopus.

[@athertonappliancebsc]

There are a ton of other great food options!

[@nunyabusiness8441]

Lol...ew.

[@ll7868]

My only issue is WHERE ARE THE RED KNOBS!?! Aesthetically speaking there should be some red knobs, just for show, a Wolf looks nekkid without them.

[@athertonappliancebsc]

Thank you for sharing! We love those iconic red knobs! They are surely a trademark of the brand. You can find them everywhere else in the other cooking suite of appliances within the brand. Did you know that Wolf offers other knob colors as well? Choose from red, black, brushed stainless, brushed gray, or brushed brass!

[@ll7868]

@@athertonappliancebsc I know all about Wolf, my favourite cooktop. My 70 year old aunt just got one, a whole new kitchen actually. with wi-fi appliances and whatnot, it's all blowing her mind, she can't figure out wi-fi. it's kinda cute, like trying to teach older folks how to program a VCR in the 80s. As far as I'm concerned red knobs are the only colour they need but for built in ovens I'm a Miele fella.

[@athertonappliancebsc]

The smart technology in the appliance industry is here to stay and only continues to develop. It can be a bit of a learning curve, but it has been shown to be really handy! For example: WiFi connected devices have the ability to be diagnosed remotely via a service call directly with the manufacturer. Depending on the issue with the appliance, this can save you time and money for an in person service call!
