Product review (5 stars): I LOVE this range!
I first learned about induction cooking when my family and I rented a house in  France. At first, I couldn't figure out how to turn the stove on, so I had to call the owner who told me to put the pan on the burner first!  Duh! Don't confuse induction with electric. There's absolutely no comparison. The following year, I renovated my kitchen. I used to have a high-end, dual-fuel range. I loved cooking with gas technology and baking with an electric oven, but I love this induction range so much more.  Here's why:
* The burners are as responsive and as powerful as gas,
* The burner surface cools down as soon as a pot is removed,
* The surface of the stove can be used as countertop, so it's ideal for extra work space
* It's very safe around young children precisely because the surface cools down so quickly
* The shiny surface is very sleek and looks great against marble or granite,
* Clean-up is super simple. Cleaning my duel fuel used to be a pain: remove the burners, pull the crumb tray out, blah blah. I'll never to back to gas technology.
* Here's the best reason of all - induction is way, way, way less expensive than Viking, Wolf or other designer appliances. We saved a ton and plowed those savings into really nice cabinets and counters. Don't be a slave to price. I've learned that more expensive does not mean better!
