Need Help Replacing Slide-in Stove/Range with Induction Cooktop
Comments (10)"Considering that the installation guide states that the induction cooktop glass will NOT sit on the granite countertop (the weight is supported by 4 brackets below that is drilled to the cabinetry/granite)" No, the installation guide you referenced does NOT say that. The weight of the cooktop DOES rest on the countertop. The four brackets are just there to hold the unit in place and not mover around. "To mount the 4 brackets (shown in the installation guide), it seems that I would have to drill and tap the brackets into the granite " No. These brackets clamp the unit to the countertop. The long screw pushes against the bottom of the granite. It does not need to penetrate. "What is the purpose (of the granite in the front) and again I would ask is it necessary or is it purely for looks/aesthetic reasons? Weight is being supported, again. Will it look crappy if there isn't granite in the front?" You didn't say what is going underneath. My first thought was that you were literally leaving a big hole. I'm guessing now that you are going to install a cabinet of some sort. Without that 2"-3" of granite counter in the front, the top of the cabinet will be exposed, as well as the front of the induction unit where the vents are. Also that front edge of glass would be unsupported and prone to breakage. I think anyone who does this gets new countertops for that section....See MoreUse Viking stove or purchase new induction cooktop w wall ovens?
Comments (2)dan1888, You are the second one to recommend this. Do you currently use induction and had you switched from gas? Any particular manufacturers that you like for the induction cooktop and the combi oven and hood? There are so many out there.... Also which wall oven to pair the combi oven with? Thanks so much...See MoreNeed Help Replacing Slide-in Stove/Range with Induction Cooktop
Comments (12)I guess because a) I want to keep the kitchen slick and simple - I do not use an oven at all and I do not want it there just to clutter up things and it not being used. I;ll probably stay here for another decade and even if I don't, dont really care about resale value of the property over a small thing like this b) I was planning to just cover up the whole bottom with a simple panel which hopefully wouldn't cost too much c) I don't wanna spend out of money pocket for a slide-in induction oven/range if I don;t use it. I just want the cooktop....See MoreDid you see your induction cooktop in action before buying?
Comments (26)Hi there. I'm one of the ones that "try_hard" was probably talking about up there; talking my head off about how much I love induction - especially my Viking. I do have the hybrid, because I was chicken. Plus, the price was better than full induction on the Viking. I chose Viking because of all the talk here about power sharing, and I also wanted the knobs. Others have mentioned the humming noise. The Viking's isn't bad at all. It's actually pretty welcoming since I can tell when the burner is on/off without looking. I did see a demo, but I didn't do it and it wasn't for me (at least not until I bought it). I was in the appliance store so much that I may as well have been getting a paycheck. I would lean over and watch other customers as they came in and wanted a demo or learned about induction. My model was on live display. I knew so much about the store and the sales staff that I would bet who would buy and who wouldn't. I'll never feel the same way walking into a store again, for fear someone was doing the same thing to me - LOL!!. One thing - I raved so much about much I loved my induction cooktop, the sales staff started using my comments in their pitch. Not sure if you have made a decision or not, but whichever you choose, I think you will love it. As far as cookware, I've heard so many here say, the cheaper the better, as long as it is stainless. I found out that the every-day, middle-of-the-road Cook's Essentials from QVC work (didn't think they would). They look pretty good too, and have non-stick inside. I have a few Emerilware and love it. I'll probably get one or two All-Clad, or another higher level. The one thing I'm looking for is something that is easier to clean inside. hmmm, we'll see on that one. You can check with your brand's website and see who has a live one set up. I did that when I first started looking. Best Wished to you, and happy cooking!! gng...See Morecooksnsews
