My nephew redid his kitchen w this cooktop. My goodness it’s cool. You can boil in about a minute and it throws off no heat. Sitting right across from it, it’s like the pot is sitting on the counter vs on the stove. No heat at all. $$$$$ though. He told me so far, only Thermidor has a cooktop like this where you can put a pan anywhere. He does all the cooking in their family, and boy howdy it’s impressive.

 
I would love to have a stand-alone induction burner, to use for cooking pasta. However, I will not be switching to all induction as it would mean not using most of my favorite cooking pots and pans!
I love me copper pots that I hand carried home from France and my pots with cast aluminum bottoms, but neither would work on the induction cook top.

Yes, I’m confused by the above showing copper pots used on this induction cooktop.
 
I think some copper pots now have attractive bottoms now. (Didn't we all used to?)

I am pretty stunned by this whole concept. Although I am so impressed by the technology, I wonder how much more of it we need. I loved my Jennaire cooktop with multiple rings and immediate heat, (not induction as I too, wanted to keep my favourite pots) and wish I had it now, and would be satisfied with it forever.

Thank you for sharing this. I love to keep up.

It was really fun seeing it in person. You can also set it to cook on only one side, freeing up space for plating or a chopping block. You can use a griddle heating only one side to cook, leaving the other to just keep warm with residual heat. Think pancakes or stir fry. It can also be set to change temp if you move the pan backwards. For example: scoot the pan back it auto lowers heat two notches, scoot it back more, it lowers again, etc till the furthest is set on lowest heat. So you never have to touch controls.
Fancy!
it does take a higher amperage because it can reach very high temperatures. A normal cooktop or stove is 15 amps and this is 30.

Interesting, since I have a stainless lined copper saute pan from France and a magnet will not stick to it.

Ummm, I’m missing where it says it can be used on an induction cooktop. Probably looking right at it, but…

The pots I do have were purchased while I was in France, where they are much less pricey, if you forget what it cost you to get there! My saucepan is lined with silver and it conducts heat so beautifully that I can make risotto without much stirring. I bought it in this town.
