Loving it!
on June 14, 2022

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When remodeling our kitchen I wanted to put in a gas cooktop. My husband suggested induction and after researching I decided to go with induction. I am so glad I made that choice!! The clean up is amazing! I am learning but so far I am loving cooking with induction. Instant heat without the heat from the burner. Love being able to boil water in just a couple of minutes. Also love the flex feature and the keep warm setting!
I would recommend this to a friend!

An awesome cooking machine (I just hope it lasts)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We upgraded a 30 year old gas cooktop with this device. It is the best cooking surface I have used -- even better than the lovely BlueStar gas cooktop. The even heat across a large fry pan makes cooking a pleasure for pancakes, frying chicken (any dish where you want even cooking across a surface). The low settings are incredible. For example, reheating chocolate sauce you can keep it at 100 degrees for as long as you like... forget being able to do that with gas. The predictability, nuance of control, speed of response -- better than I thought. Nice safety features, too. I'm a convert!
My only criticism is the two step adjustments for controls i.e., pick a heating element, set a power level. Some inductions systems have separate dials for each element which makes it a single gesture. I'm getting used to the Bosch. First world problem.
My only concern is reliability. I have a 4 year warranty but can I expect it to last 10 years? This house has lots of 30 year old appliances that I have been upgrading, but it's hard to accept that an "upgrade" is going to be have lower reliability. All electronics eventually break.
Given the sensible migration from gas to electric, induction is the best choice for cooking (if one can afford it). Really happy with this singular experience (i.e., I have not used any other induction cooktop so perhaps there is something better but I have no interest in looking further).

Induction is the way to go

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm still getting used to it but so far I love it. I like the responsiveness of the controls with the touch of a button. I love the boost feature for big pots of pasta water. I'll likely fully put it to the test on Thanksgiving. If you can't have gas this is definitely the way to go.

Love cooking with Bosch Induction
on November 4, 2022
Posted by: Flopshot
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We recently reconfigured and remodeled our kitchen. As part of the updating we installed a 36" Bosch Benchmark induction cooktop. It's a joy to use. The fast heat up and instantant temperature changes make it a pleasure to cook on. It takes a little paradigm shift to work with a cooktop that reacts instantly to temperature changes, but after the short learning curve I can't imagine using anything but induction.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've never had such a fast rolling boil, the only complaint is that I haven't figured out how to get a gentle summer going well

Induction is the way to go!
on March 13, 2023

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We were going to buy a Wolf induction cooktop because we have Wolf products in our home but after seeing all the added features to benefits Bosch's induction cooktop has, we instead purchased the Bosch. So happy we made the decision. We have had both gas and electric cooktops and the Bosch induction cooktop is head and shoulders above them in both efficiency and cooking times. Our only regret is that we didn't buy this baby sooner
