GE Cafe Induction Cooktop

Yes, induction cooktops require cookware made of magnetic materials, such as cast iron or magnetic stainless steel. If a magnet sticks to the bottom of your pot or pan, it will work on this cooktop.

When paired with compatible smart pans, this feature allows you to set and maintain an exact temperature between 100 and 500 degrees. It is ideal for tasks that require consistency, like tempering chocolate, making delicate sauces, or deep frying.

The smooth glass surface is designed for easy maintenance. Because induction technology only heats the cookware and not the surface itself, spills are less likely to burn or bake onto the cooktop, making cleanup as simple as a quick wipe-down.

Safety is built into the design. The cooktop features automatic cookware detection, meaning the induction elements will automatically switch off once the cookware is removed from the surface.

The cooktop uses glide touch controls, which are highly responsive and intuitive. You can easily slide your finger across the control panel or tap to adjust between the 19 different heat settings for precise power management.

The rapid boil feature is significantly faster, boiling water 1.5 times quicker than a standard electric cooktop. This efficiency is a hallmark of induction technology, which transfers energy directly to the cookware rather than heating the surrounding air.
