Hey,

it's time to buy a new rangetop, and I'm considering one from Wolf. They offer a module called a French Cooktop. I was wondering if anyone had any experience/comments about this type of method.

Thanks
 
yup, yup

A friend in Munich has one, obviously not from Wolf.

He hates it and loves it and would never buy one again and can't live without it.

When I cook on it, I prize the recovery capacity and ease of cooking on a seriously large surface. Seems to me that if you really are into cooking large quantities, this is for you. If you are just looking for pseudo-professional kitchens, you will never use it.

Why don't you go to one of the sponsored cooking seminars from Wolf and try one? Then you'll know.

Me, if I had the space and need, I'd go with induction. Same results, enormously less space wasted and hassle.
 
Thanks Panthera

Thanks for clearing that up, I think! :-)

Sub-Zero/Wolf opened a new showroom here in Toronto, so I went to check it out. The french cooktop looks great, but will take some training.

I often cook for family gatherings of 30-35 people, at least 4 times a year, so the range I'm going to order will be the 60', 6 burner with french cooktop, along with 1 15" induction cooktop in what's to be the butler's pantry for my partner who is dangerous around open flames/electric elements/any heat generating equipment, and in the main island another 15" induction cooktop, 15" gas top, and a 22,000 btu burner.

It was quite an expensive trip....
 
Kindalazy,

You'd probably benefit more from what you've chosen than any other design, given the numbers you cook for.

Still, I would suggest you pick up an induction plate which you can plug in somewhere else...unbelievable how good they are at dealing with seriously large quantities of boiling water.
