You’re wise to consider induction cooking when selecting your next cooktop or range, but how does induction cooking work and how will it change the way you cook? For those familiar with gas or electric cooking, induction technology seems almost magical, yet it’s actually quite simple. With induction cooking, you’re connecting an iron pot or pan with a magnetic field on your cooking surface. The pan heats up and cooks the food while the cooking surface stays cool to the touch. For this reason, induction cooking is far more energy efficient than any other form of cooking because there is no heat loss like you find with gas or electric ranges or cooktops. It also offers a great benefit for families with small children, as there is no open flame or heated surface to burn little hands. For those concerned about safety for aging homeowners, the cooktop surface turns off when the pot is removed, so there is no danger of a burner being left on.
One brand stands apart when it comes to induction cooking.
While several appliance manufacturers are now producing induction appliances, the epitome of induction cooking can be found in one brand: Wolf. Due to Wolf’s proprietary induction cooking technology and engineering, their induction cooktops and ranges are considered 90-95% energy efficient. No other appliance can touch Wolf’s precise, nearly instantaneous temperature response from simmer to boil and everything in between. Whether you want to melt fine chocolate without scorching or sear steaks for superior flavor and presentation, Wolf Induction promises the same performance that professional chefs rely on. Precision settings respond to every cooking need, from simmering with just a whisper of heat to boiling lightning-fast with Boost Mode.
Are induction cooktops only for contemporary style kitchens?
With a sleek and understated black glass surface, Wolf induction appliances blend effortlessly into any décor. Wolf Induction Cooktops are available in four sizes, in both framed and unframed versions to blend into traditional, contemporary and transitional kitchens. All options offer the same performance and energy efficiency.
Are induction cooktops difficult to clean?
A Wolf Induction Cooktop or Rangetop is easy to clean. Made of durable ceramic glass, these cooktops resist staining, scratches, and impact for lasting beauty. Once your pot is removed from the cooking surface, you can simply wipe with a clean, lightly dampened cloth or Scotch-Brite™ pad. You can rinse the cloth or pad with water to remove any residue. Then, wipe your cooking surface with a dry cloth. For any heavy or burnt-on spills, use a razor blade scraper to remove debris. You can also use vinegar for hard water spill-over stains. Your induction cooktop is very durable and easy to maintain. Major components are stress-tested to ensure that they’ll hold up for many years of use. Wolf induction appliances come with an industry-leading warranty for continued peace of mind.
