Induction cooktop

Only recently installed. Great cooktop, heats very efficiently. Requires daily cleaning to keep surface clean. Very nice features and it looks great. Must use correct cookware for optimum performance.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Uneven cooking

We’ve had this about 18 months. It’s easy to clean, pretty when new (like all glass cooktops, scratches easily) and it does indeed boil water quickly. That is where my praise ends.
You can not use a conventional thermometer with this, you have turn off the burner, measure the temperature and then turn the burner back on. We tried a fancy and expensive thermometer but that only gives the surface temperature, not an accurate reading. If you are doing something time sensitive, this all matters. Examples include candy, cheese or yogurt.
It’s very noisy, the more burners used, the louder it thrums.
If you boil something over, the whole cooktop shuts down.
The real downside for me, I saved for last. The burners do not cook evenly. You have to keep all the food to one side of the pan for the hottest part of the surface.
I miss my gas range that was a pain to clean but it was easy to use and always performed well.

Looks great & works great!

I've been using the cooktop for a couple months now and have nothing but good things to say about it. I wanted something that would blend in with my new concrete countertops and Consumer Reports rated this very highly, so I was delighted to find that it came in a gray rather than black color. It heats amazingly quickly but also adjusts temperatures very quickly. Another bonus is that because it heats so evenly, virtually nothing sticks to your pots and pans. I have another induction cooktop, so knew what I wanted, and I think the GE Cafe model is better than the other brand I have. Definitely a recommended product.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have seen Induction cooktops and decided to put one in my new house. SO EASY TO CLEAN!! Not like gas burners, restaurant style with so much to clean, even dust! Must be careful of glass, but heats up and cooks great. I hoped it would be good, unexpectedly surprised that it's GREAT!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bridge is a disappointment
on November 3, 2017
Posted by: SCA FL

Overall we’re happy with this cooktop; however, I chose this induction top because of its bridge. The heat on the bridge is minimal, so food on the edges gets cooked while items in the middle of the pan do not.
We love the induction.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
