After years of cooking on a gas stovetop and having to constantly scrub and clean the grates, knows and surface, I decided to switch to an induction cooktop. I chose the GE Profile because of the arrangement of the burners and online reviews. I'm extremely satisfied with my decision. Cleaning this glass surface is so easy. Turning the cooktop on/off is very simple. The only thing I will warn about is that the High settings are too hot for cooking food. After burning some things very quickly I learned to use the high setting for boiling water. Also be aware of the electrical requirements for operation. I had to add more service.
