It's F A S T
and powerful
The controls are better than I thought they'd be- very intuitive !!
You can sync burners together to grill, you can time each burner separately - although I don't know how to do that yet LOL.
And it has a range of sizes for all kinds of pots.

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. ;-)

LOL Louis!
I had my huge p-cooker on last nite to make chicken stock. 1 large chicken, + 3/4 gallon of water came to a boil in 7 minutes on that burner ! Amazing !

Thank you/Gracias/Merci
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?).

Take a gander
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 !"

Did I miss another thread, how did you decide on this one? What others did you consider?

I've been looking
at cooktops for several years now.
When I saw the controls that sold me.
I looked at Cook Tek , Viking, Wolf etc. But these controls are simple and intuitive.

Jon,
Could you post the timer feature thingy ???
Does that turn the I.U off as well ???

Oh goodness, a Fissler! Did you hit the jackpot? lol
Beef stew please!
Beef stew please!
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

Goulash is nice. But what about an Asian beef dish like Daging Smoor?

This is a slow cooker recipe, but no problem to make it in a pressure cooker on an induction cooktop.

Does this replace your vintage Kenmore induction cooktop?
1990 KM Induction CT By Sanyo
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.
