I bought the Cafe induction range because I am retired, enjoy cooking and wanted a range that offered the responsiveness of gas with the convenience and safety of electric heat (it would be difficult to burn myself or catch a dangling sleeve on fire with this cooktop!). I am still learning about the many advantages of the Cafe range, but am impressed with the steam cleaning feature, the warming drawer and the overall beauty of the design. It has been a pleasure to get to know this range and I hope to enjoy it for a long time.
