Oh goodness, you got a new induction cooker? Now that's a suprise!! lol
Very impressive though, 3700 Watts on one burner, not only a very powerful burner but also inductionlike fast! In comparison an induction cooktop uses the power more efficient than any other type of burner. My burners are only 2100 Watts, but I'm still amazed by how fast things go. And nothing better than a bit of pressure cooking on an induction stove! I bet you're busy, studying the manual and studying dutch. I'll take both exams. ;-) |

That was very helpful. A group of us were talking about induction cooking the other day and I admitted that I wouldn't know what to buy. Now I do. Finally they figured out how to design the non-knobs/controls (although I still think most consumers would prefer actual knobs to virtual-ones.) Adding that griddle to the package was a very clever lagniappe (or was that already yours?). |

NO, Ken the griddle comes with the cooktop, nice SS clad aluminum.
Its fast ! It really heats my new Fissler Schnellbratpfanne mit deckel !! Which is "Induktionsherd geeignet"!
Louis: Its "Geschikt voor inductiefornuis !"

Love it Jon!! And the price point is astonishing, one of these is likely in my future.
I'd love to see a time to boil run on that big 3700 watt element. That likely should outperform ANYTHING in a home kitchen. Bet it would even hang with one of those 18,000 BTU pretend commercial gas burners in the poser ranges. As a technical aside, turn your iBlab sideways when shooting videos! Video is a horizontal format, especially on the YouTube :p |

Goulash is nice. But what about an Asian beef dish like Daging Smoor?
www.kayotic.nl/blog/tag/daging-sm... This is a slow cooker recipe, but no problem to make it in a pressure cooker on an induction cooktop. |

Yes What happened to the KM CT, my 1987 Unit is still going strong, it has never had a single glitch.
I got the GE 36" mirror top Monogram induction CT for Smitties new kitchen, and yes it is amazing how much faster it is compared to the old KM ICT.
I will not change mine out for a while, because I have high powered elements in my trusty old JennAir cook top next to the KM ICT anyway.
You know Jon if I get a new GE Cafe ICT I will sound insulate it so it will be much quieter than yours. |

Nice. Something I envision on Star Trek. Can cook faster than light! |

Absolutely beautiful cooktop. Does anyone know the reliability and life span of induction cooktops ? Just wondering because I'll be in the market for a new range soon. And I think that you can only use steel cookware. |

Jon has crossed to the European side and has a beautiful Miele Induction hob now. I'll wait for him to chime in with the full story, but the GE was a bust :) |

The silly thing is that the power control is all done in the digital world. The programmers could easily skew the software a bit to allow the user interface to represent the power levels in a more expected fashion. The way you describe this non-linear relationship would be poor affordance of design in my mind.

My last years there and loved it. Had a little hob to run the one or two pots which didn't work with induction. The best part of induction is that it takes you back to the days of cooking with gas. Instant high heat. There when you need it and gone just as quickly when you don't. Induction cooktops are also the only ones I've ever used with sensors that actually work well in the low (milk sauces) range. Congratulations! |
