Switched from gas cooktop to electric
on November 9, 2018
Posted by: R. G.
We had this major renovation and decided to switch from gas to electric because this cooktop looks so nice. As it turns out, it definitely was worth it. The cooking time is nearly half now. We are not too picky about food so we didn't notice any difference, but I'm sure Gordon Ramsay would say otherwise.
Box came slightly damaged. The booklet it comes with doesn't tell you about the Lo Message on the cook top. It means Locked and can be removed by holding the key symbol for 5 to 10 seconds. Instructions could have been better. Now I just need to make a frame for it.
It is just as good as the more expensive ones, I've had induction in two other houses and love being able to have the grandkids help cook without the danger of getting burn. The spot where the stove contacts the pan being used is hot, but nothing else.
I've used this cooktop for a couple of months and it performs flawlessly. It takes some time to get accustomed to the keypad. One problem is the placement of the keypad, it's right where you would rest your hand while you are cooking, That shuts the burners off. Secondly, the necessity to use flat steel bottom pans meant that I had to buy a new set of compatible pans,All in all I'm happy with my new cooktop.
Was always a gas range chef. After some 'unlearning' from knobs to electronic controls and the physics behind the cooktop, I am hooked. This is a great cooktop and even my wife and kids enjoy cooking on it now.
A friend who is an electrician installed it for us. Its working great, looks beautiful. We had to buy new pots but we needed a cooktop with power and this one offered more watts than others.
After installing myself and thoroughly testing this induction range for a couple weeks, I am 100% satisfied with the quality, function and value for the $$.Using this range is a superior experience cooking compared to gas and radiant electric. The things I like most are the fast heat, easy cleaning and even distribution of heat. My previous radiant stove top I needed to use an abrasive glass top cleanser at least once a week due to burnt on food. With this induction stovetop, a damp paper towel is all that is needed. The controls are intuitive and fully functional. There is a change to tactile feel around the burners to help indicate when your cookware is centered. This is a well-made product which is available at an extremely competitive price.?? Tip. You will have an improved experience using induction cookware that is 100% ferrous metal, as opposed to aluminum cookwear with a ferrous metal plate sandwiched bottom side.
