I have used the cooktop for a few weeks. I was surprised (unpleasantly) by the noise the cooktop makes. It is an annoying clicking noise. I have very good pans so I did not anticipate a problem. My Staub and LeCreuset are less noisy than the All-Clad stainless. I also have a new Demeyer 7 clad made for induction and it is also noisy on the burner until it heats. I do not know if this problem is unique to the Jenn Air cooktop and I would recommend taking a couple pans to the appliance store to try the cooktops before buying. I am sorry I did not do that. I love the speed that water boils. An unexpected feature that I love is the ability to set a timer for each burner. I used this when cooking rice at the same time I was stir frying meats and vegetables and loved that I could set the burner timer for the rice and forget it. I love the clean lines and the ease of cleaning. Because the cooktop is not hot, it is easier to clean up any spills. I like the Sensor Boil option and the low heat options for simmering. It took some time to get used to the slide bar for setting the temperature. I am becoming more comfortable each time I use it, but it is very different from my old electric cooktop setting.
Pros: High Powered Burners, Heats Up Quickly, Large Surface Area, Timer for each burner, Easy To Clean
Cons: Noisy, Difficulty adjusting to slide temp control
Induction cooking is not well-known in the US yet, but it will gain in popularity as an ideal alternative to gas. It's actually safer if small children are around because the "burners" aren't hot to the touch (only to a metal pan), since induction is magnetic. The surface is very easy to clean and it's a sleek modern look.
Pros: Heats Up Quickly, Large Surface Area, High Powered Burners, Precise Controls, Easy To Clean
36" induction cooktop is ok but only ok. I expected more from an induction cooktop and I higher end brand such as Jenn Air but it's not lup to my expectations. The cooktop does get hot faster then my old electric stove but not so much faster. I also have a few small pots that are smaller than the burners so I can't use them, forcing me to use a pot that may be too large for the purpose. Cooktop needs to have one very small burner. Also the beeps are annoying if I lift a pit or pan off the burner.
This cooktop is so easy to use and it looks beautiful as well. It's just a bit of a pain to have to clean it after every use to have it looking sparkling clean.
First time using an induction cooktop and we were apprehensive on what it would entail. Shouldn't have worried, as this is an excellent product that'll suit both avid and occasional cooks. It does require getting used to it, but overall, a true marvel to behold
Pros: Heats Up Quickly, Easy To Clean, High Powered Burners
