The cooktop will allow you to expand your cooking talents with elements ranging from 6" up to a whopping 11". Additionally, two of the rectangular elements can be joined as one.

It’s a very safe unit to use. The cooktop itself doesn’t heat up as much as standard electric or gas cooktops. Even if it gets warm during long cooking, the cooktop will warn you about that.

There is a control lock feature that works both when the unit is in use and turned off.

It will shut off if it detects that the cookware you’re using is incompatible with induction elements.

If the unit detects moisture, it will automatically switch off to prevent accidents and flare-ups.

The two rectangular elements on the left can be bridged together, turning it into a single large part. This allows you to use large griddles or pans. The combined power of the two elements heats up the cookware very quickly and evenly.

You can set the timer for each of the heating elements separately, which is a very rare option in cooktops.

There is a total of 17 different heat settings that you can choose for very precise temperature control.

All of the burners can provide a very wide range of temperatures. For example, the left front burner can deliver temperatures as high as 800 degrees Fahrenheit, but it’s also capable of heating at a minimum of 84 degrees for simmering and melting butter.

The cooktop allows you to store up to 25 different preset options for recipes of food that you love. Not only can you store the desired temperatures, but also the different time frames. For example, the dish can boil for 15 minutes, simmer for another 20 minutes, and switch off after that.

The cooktop has five burners, with the most powerful ones being the front left and right burners. They can boil water almost as quickly as an induction cooktop.

There are two small burners at the back and two large ones in the front with variable size. Almost all typical cookware should fit on this cooktop since there are seven different sizes to choose from throughout the unit. The smaller back burners can be used to keep your food warm or to gently simmer something while you can do the main cooking on the large front ones.
