Good performing Cooktop
on April 2, 2024
Posted by: Freeform

Pros: Great cooktop. Very responsive (see note on cons). Easy to use controls.
Cons: Very tiresome to keep clean. It shows every smudge and must be washed and dried with a microfiber cloth to look good. This is very tiresome. It is attractive once cleaned. The grey color shows less smudges, I think. Some burners hum, others do not. Some of the burners take a lot longer to respond than others which also is tiresome.
You cannot use as a work space to land hot items from the wall oven as I did with gas because it will dirty or scratch the surface, which is also tiresome. Having to be so careful does not seem like it is sustainable, but maybe it just takes getting use to. Other than that, it works quite well.

This is a great induction cooktop. Cooks everything evenly and quickly. Glass surface is also very easy to clean.

Burner problem right from the start.

After using the cooktop one time, one of the burners does not work. It starts up but quickly shuts off. Disappointing for a new product.

Worthwhile after the learning curve

Pro- Cooking time reduced by about 30%. Easy cleanup, but only microfiber cloths control streaks. Streamlined look.
Con- Somewhat inconvenient not being able to use cookware that's doesn't have enough metal content to conduct the heat; re: aluminum, ceramic, glass
Haven't used bridge element because not many pans that large have enough metal. Looking for a griddle to use with bridge because GE discontinued theirs.

To minimize scratches & splatters you can cook with a paper towel under the pots.

I have never owned an induction cooktop before. However I have had a single burner unit. That was the reason for purchasing the Cafe cooktop. The ease of use, speed and convenience tops everyrhing. I will be recommending it to everyone.
