Thor Kitchen TIH36 Induction Cooktop

Yes, induction technology requires cookware with a magnetic base, 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.

The power boost function temporarily increases the power output of a specific heating element beyond its standard maximum. This is ideal for tasks that require rapid heating, such as bringing a large pot of water to a boil quickly.

Yes, the built-in timer allows you to manage each of the five heating elements independently. This feature is particularly helpful for multitasking, as you can set specific shut-off times for different dishes.

Because the surface is a single, continuous piece of glass, it is very easy to wipe down. Since induction cooktops do not get hot themselves—only the cookware does—spills are less likely to bake onto the surface, making cleanup straightforward.

Induction offers significantly more precision than gas. With nine distinct power levels, you can make immediate, incremental adjustments that respond instantly, allowing for consistent results ranging from delicate simmering to high-heat searing.

This is a built-in unit designed for a standard 36-inch countertop cutout. You will need to ensure your kitchen has the appropriate electrical supply to support the 9,300W total power capacity, so consulting a professional electrician before installation is recommended.
