The Even Heat Zone is Iffy
on February 11, 2026
Posted by: Johnny W

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted an induction cooktop that has temperature control. I decided to give the KitchenAid a try. IMHO, it's "okay" the Temp Cook only works on frying, if it has any type of liquid it doesn't know what to do. There goes the idea of sous vide. Even frying the temp swings is +/- 8F.
What annoys me the most on the unit is the Even Heat Zone. It's a hit or miss. Sometimes it will sense the other half, sometimes it won't. I have tried it Lodge Double Play and some generic pans that are rectangular. For me the Lodge Double Play was a hit or miss. I tried to tell the customer service that it probably need a firmware with better detection algorithms, but all the want to do is send out a technician to replace it. I just wanted them to push my message up to the engineers.
I also didn't like it didn't have a timer, my old Samsung induction unit had that. 5 burners on a 30" is too crowded. It's nice to have but in reality, you have to have a game plan to logistically place and use all five burners.
Overall, I wouldn't NOT recommend the unit to anyone unless it was heavy discounted; as I did. Temp Cook is more like a gimmick, customer service is horrible and you can get the same features for less from other manufacturers.
NOTE: MY "value" rating is based on the MSRP

A New Way to Cook
on February 19, 2026
Posted by: ShawnC
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently upgraded to this induction cooktop because I was worried about the indoor air quality from my old gas stove and the lack of external venting. I was a bit hesitant to switch, but this KitchenAid induction cooktop is incredible. The technology and function feel like magic. It boils water very fast and feels much safer, both for air quality and burn risks. With kids in the house, making sure they're not breathing in combustion fumes and having the area near the burners stay cool to the touch are both major benefits. The cooktop itself is a good size and has five different cooking zones, including one combination zone, which provides a lot of flexibility for larger meals. It has a number of smart settings (Temp Cook, Simmer, Smart Boil, Saute) that allow for more precise control and even heating, although there is a bit of a leaving curve. It looks great and is easy to wipe clean. I'm extremely happy that we made the switch to induction - it feels like a better way to cook.
