Looking for the best induction range? Here's our top five picks to consider in
2019. Hi this is John with designer appliances New Jersey and New York's
premier interactive appliance showroom. A visit to our store is well worth your
time where you can experience firsthand the latest in home appliances and save
money with our exclusive offerings. Induction is optimized cooking at its
best and is the most energy efficient cooking method that's quickly becoming
the preferred choice among home chefs who value speed precision and easy
cleanup. The elements in an induction range turn your pans into heat vessels
that respond to precise temperature changes during the cooking process.
Contrary to rumor, your pots and pans will work on an induction cooktop as
long as a magnet stick to the bottom of them. There's no arguing that induction
is a major improvement over older electric cooking technologies such as
electric radiant or coil cook tops and the responsive temperature control it's
far more accurate than cooking over a gas flame. One big bonus is how easy they
are to clean just requiring a quick wipe down after cooking. But what we really
like are the built-in safety features. There's no heat exchange unless there's
a pot on top of an element and as soon as the pots removed or if the pot boils
over, the heating stops this makes it a very friendly and safe cooking surface
for kids. Now let's jump into our top picks. For most people, the GE Profile
PHS930SLSS induction range is a great go to pick. This induction range checks
most boxes when it comes to finding the perfect range for our customers. For
starters, this is a slide-in range that's meant to be able to replace a
preexisting freestanding range unlike some slider ranges. This one has
finished sides meaning you can use it even if it's exposed on one side. Also
unlike other slide ins, this range doesn't have an overhanging lip around
the edge meaning you can install it close to a wall on either side.
When it comes to cooking performance this range features four burners plus a
fifth burner which can be used as a warming area. You can also bridge
together two of the burner zones to accommodate larger pots and pans like a
griddle or fish pen making for a more versatile stovetop which we love. The
oven features true European convection for precise cooking and even heat and
the oven includes three racks and a storage door down below for added
convenience. If you like the features of the previous GE Profile range but prefer
knobs instead of touch controls check out their Cafe CHS950P2MS1. The cafe
line, also manufactured by GE, is an upgrade to their GE Profile lineup
targeted to customers who want a more distinctive design and chef inspired
cooking features. This model has all of the features of the GE Profile we
highlighted before and more. The range has a distinct pro style design with
control knobs to control the burner elements instead of electric controls
making it more intuitive to quickly change temperature settings. The thick
handles also give it a heavy-duty commercial feel. You also get two ovens
instead of one, giving you the flexibility to cook two different meals
at the same time. From a technology standpoint, this range is fully loaded.
It features Heston Q technology which when combined with the Heston Q enable
pin allows you to set and keep pan temperature exactly combined with video
guided recipes from chefs, you'll take your cooking skills to the next level.
You can also purchase a separate cooking probe allowing you to cook via sous vide.
The cafe induction range features Wi-Fi connect technology allowing you to
control your oven with your smart device or simply using your voice. Looking for

out the Miele HR16221. Miele is a leader in many different kitchen
appliance categories not the least of which is induction ranges. While they do
have a sleek modern appearance Miele appliances look great and timeless in
all kitchen types from contemporary to traditional. Both the cooktop and oven
on the miele induction range offer premium performance features. Keep in
mind this is a powerful pro style range so the electrical requirements are a
little bit higher than on a typical induction range. Here you'll need a 50
amp dedicated electric circuit. The cooktop features for independent cooking
zones on most induction ranges you need to be careful about what size cookware
you use for each burner. For example using a small pan on a large burner will
result in less power being used, However the Miele cooktop surface is
able to direct all of the power from the larger burner into a smaller pan meaning
you can use any sized pan on any sized burner as long as it fits inside the
elements boundaries. Each burner can be boosted which pulls power from other
zones to reach a hotter temperature more quickly. In terms of durability, like all
Miele appliances, Miele tests their ranges to last for years to come. In fact
on their induction glass surface they drop a steel ball from 12 inches to make
sure the surface is a hundred percent resistant to cracking. The oven
performance is equally impressive. In the oven you'll get Miele's dual European
convection. You will also get Miele's MasterChef system which will give you a
hundred pre-programmed recipes so you don't need to worry about setting the time and
temperature before cooking. With the intuitive M-touch touch screen display
that folds out simply select the food type portion size and temperature
without any guesswork. For a more in-depth look at Miele ranges check out
