Pros and Cons
on July 5, 2024
Posted by: C Cat
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me begin by saying that I love Bosch. Most of my appliances are Bosch. As far as induction cooktops go, this has some great features. However, as someone who has always cooked with gas, I am disappointed to have learned that induction is not like gas, as is claimed. Yes, it heats quickly and temerpature can be turned down instantaneously but that is where the similarities end. Overall, I find the quality of the cooking is more like electric. The biggest irritation is that only the area of the pan that sits on the grid will cook. So, if you are using a pan that hangs beyond the edge of the grid, the food at the edge of the pan doesn't cook. You need to keep moving the contents around. I must say that I am experiencing some buyer's remorse. This is not a reflection on Bosch but on induction cooking. I'm sure there is a learning curve that I need to get beyond.
The pro's are it is exceptionally easy to clean, which is huge. I think we can all agree that cleaning a gas cooktop is one of the worst jobs. This is truly as simple as just wiping clean. If there is a greasy mess, a little Dawn and water is all you need. I also looks great in my newly remodeled kitchen. It's very sleek. Lastly, I chose this model because you can connect the grids for large pots. Unfortunately, this works lengthwise but not widthwise, so there will still be part of the pan that doesn't make contact.
Overall, if you are going induction, I would recommend Bosch. However, I strongly suggest you do your due diligence and understand what you are signing up for.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Beautiful, easy to clean, incredibly responsive temp control, LOVE the rapid boil! Definitely recommended. I've always used gas but couldn't at the new house and didn't want electric. The induction is amazing and so much easier to clean than a gas cooktop.
I would recommend this to a friend!
