[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how quick I can boil a pot of water. Great quick searing and carmelizing of my onions etc too.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second induction stove top. This one is better for 2 reasons: it's wide enough to use 3 burners at once and the touch pad is deliberate. It doesn't accidentally change power settings or turn off. I can use lots of pots at once. The only negative is obvious it reduced the counter space!
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I have to admit I was a little apprehensive about getting an induction cooktop. I did a lot of research, and glad we settled on this. I went for this as opposed to the 800, to save a few dollars, and I'm pretty happy about it.
The big test for me, was how many pots I could put on it, and the second big test was using a wok. I've been cooking big housewarming dinners on it, so it wins the first test. I made some dishes in a wok, and I'll never even consider the propane outdoor wok I was thinking about getting. It's that good.
I bought this induction oven because of safety issues with our gas cooktop. But it is so much better with instant control and a clean cook surface. When I using other burners, they function perfectly as additional counter space. While some pans and pots don't work, cast iron and special ones from All-Clad work beautifully. Water boils so quickly I now set up before putting the boil on to boil. It's easy to clean. And looks great.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We needed a replacement after 15 years with our old one. We shopped around and after reading the reviews and comparing costs this unit was our choice and we have not been disappointed!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our new Bosch 36" 500 series looks great, provides rapid heating capabilities and precise temperature controls as advertised. Its extremely simple to operate and we no longer have issues with burt material on the surface of the unit as we did with our previous electric cooktop
