KitchenAid Induction Cooktop

Yes, induction cooktops require magnetic cookware. You can test your current pans by placing a magnet on the bottom; if it sticks firmly, the cookware is compatible.

The bridge element allows you to combine two cooking zones into one large surface. This is ideal for using oversized cookware like griddles or long roasting pans that wouldn't fit on a standard circular burner.

The cooktop automatically senses the size of your cookware and focuses the magnetic energy only to that specific area. This ensures efficient energy use and prevents the surrounding glass surface from heating up unnecessarily.

Because induction technology heats the cookware directly rather than the surface of the cooktop, spills are much less likely to burn or bake onto the glass. Most messes can be wiped away easily with a damp cloth once the surface has cooled.

Absolutely. While the cooktop offers smart compatibility for added convenience, all primary functions—including heat levels, presets, and timers—are fully accessible via the touch-activated controls on the unit itself.

This cooktop requires a dedicated 240-volt, 50-amp circuit. Because it is a high-performance appliance, it is recommended to have a licensed electrician handle the installation to ensure it meets local building codes.
