Induction double oven range Whirlpool-colors

10 years ago

I posted this at bottom of an old white induction thread but got no reply so am trying again. Whirpool has a new double oven induction range out. Today I chatted with a service rep and below is what she reports. Maybe if enough of us write in with our preferences, eventually we'll get that white range. They also have a single oven version with a warming drawer. Both have a feature called "accubake." Here's the single oven: http://www.whirlpool.com/kitchen-1/cooking-2/ranges-3/-[WFI910H0AS]-1020897/WFI910H0AS/

Mallory W.: The induction range with two ovens is a brand new product Whirlpool is releasing. Once released and sold, Whirlpool will evaluate whether or not the range will be offered in other colors in the future. Based off previous performance with induction products, this is very likely. However, we are not able to guarantee this or advise when other colors would be available. I will certainly document your concerns with wanting this option.

No ideas about colors.

There was another post about the Whirlpool Induction ranges though.

First the Kitchenaid induction cooktops (A Whirlpool appliance), made a clicking sound when set to low temps and this was annoying to some folks and folks wanted to know if the Whirlpool Induction range did the same thing, (something you should probably check out for yourself).

Second
I believe it was some of the Whirlpool made ovens that had a "new Cleaning Technology", and according to most posters here, It was "Totally useless" and just "FLAT did not work!
One should be sure that this "New cleaning technology" did not find its way into the new Whirlpool Induction Ranges.

I do hope it all works out for you, as we have our induction cooktop for 5 years or so now, and absolutely love it~~~even at our ages, (70's), we will never go back to any other type of cook top!

I went to my local appliance store this morning and they told me that Maytag has an induction range with double oven. I haven't been able to find much info on this one. I was told that every manufacter will be coming out with double oven induction ranges. They also had a working Kitchenaid induction cooktop that I played around with. It wasn't noisy, just a little humming. Next time I will bring in my cookware and see if there is a lot of noise.

Induction range with double ovens?

AFAIK, the Electrolux slide-in induction range is the only one that claims to have a second oven. The lower oven looks like the warming drawer on other induction ranges but, IIRC, is supposed to get up to 450F. It runs off a 120v circuit and is basically the same kind of thing as a countertop oven. CHeck out the Elux threads for opinions on how well it does or does not work. For double pizzas in a single oven, I suggest using convection and using well-preheated baking stones or pizza baking steels, one placed in the upper quarter and one in the bottom quarter of the oven.. If you haven't heard about steel plates for baking pizzas, check out the ModernistCuisine book or web site. There also has been some discussion of the baking steels in the forums/blogs at ModernistCuisine.com and at chowhound.com. This post was edited by JWVideo on Thu, Jul 11, 13 at 13:25

Induction double oven range

I didn't think of this as a double-oven, but I should have. It might just serve. Lots to like about this model. Definitely worth checking out if the expense is not a budget buster compared to the actual double-oven WP model. (Reports here have been that some internet vendor sites have had the Samsung Chef induction offered at $2500 but most other vendors seem to be asking $3100+). There are some design aspects to consider trying to research before making your decision, or at least things that would give me pause until I could sort them out. 1. Most induction ranges, including Samsung's freestanding models, have 19 or 20 settings for the induction hobs. The owner's manual for this one, however, only mentions 10. Don't know whether this is just an instructional artifact of the manual or if the range actually is limited to ten settings as with the WP product with which this discussion started. Might be important if you do much with low temp settings. I think about this because of how frequently I use pressure cookers. 2. The stove-top is more spacious than most other slide-ins, but the trade-off is that the oven vent is a narrow slot on the front of the stove, just beneath the left side of the oven control panel. The concern is that this location might make the oven control panel and the #2 burner knob pretty hot. All the "Flex-Duo" user reports I've seen were about free-standing ranges with the oven vent at the back with a bigger and full-width vent. Maybe the "Chef" model's oven-control-panel has a powerful cooling fan? If so, one wonders: will it be noisy and/or obtrusive? 3. I think I saw something about the 75F max difference that alvieray mentioned, but it may have been about the flex-duo oven on one of Samsung's freestanding radiant smoothtop ranges or possibly about the NE599NOPBSR freestanding induction range which was only marketed in Canada. Both could be worth researching further to get a better handle on how well the flex-duo concept works in practice. This post was edited by JWVideo on Fri, Oct 10, 14 at 19:37

Two new double-oven induction ranges: Maytag v Whirlpool?
Q
Comments (6)
I think you'd be pleased. I've used the cooktop on hers and it is awesome. She bakes a lot. She cooks a lot. Her whole family cooks. Constantly. It's like a religion for them. Everyone loves the Whirlpool. It hums a bit more loudly than my Bosch cooktop, which barely makes a sound. But it is only a hum and last time I asked her about it, she gave me a blank look. She had ceased to notice it. But I think the two ranges are about the same -- go to AJMadison and download the manuals for both and you'll see what I mean -- so you should choose based on looks and price, I think. I am just glad to see good induction ranges at this price point.

While going from cooktop to oven isn't unheard of, it's not a common enough even that I would fret about it. We're with you on ovens. In fact, we're putting in the Bosch swinging door ovens because my wife is short and she has a hard time reaching over a normal oven door. As for single-vs-double. I had a 48" Thermador range two houses ago. I rarely used the second (smaller) oven. However, I moved into a townhouse with double ge ovens (and a ge gas cooktop) and boy I got used to that in a hurry. Yeah, I had to carry a pan to the oven to finish under the broiler or bring the pan of drippings back to the stovetop to make the gravy, but the few extra steps weren't going to kill me. So what we ended up with is the Bosch 688 cooktop and double Bosch ovens.

I think the cleaning technology that was problematic was called Aqua Lift.

parts - When you ran the KA induction cooktop on 5 or lower, it didn't click as the magnets went on and off? Mine goes click-buzz -pause, click-buzz - pause. On level 1 it does this slowly. The frequency increases as the level goes up, until by level 6 or 7 it just buzzes, softly but continuously. I wonder if they changed that on/off magnet thing already. Listen closely, it may be noisy in the store. When my house is quiet, I can hear it in the next room. (Which actually has been useful when I've forgotten I had something on the stove!)

Ginny - I didn't here the clicking sound when the cooktop was on 5 or lower, but like you said, there were other store noises going on. When I take my cookware in and try them on the cooktop I will listen very carefully. The owner of the shop, who has been in the business for a very long time and has been selling inductions before 1980, claims that all induction burners are made identical and there is no difference between brands. The difference is in the cookware. Maybe he will have to prove that to me.

The shop owner, I'm afraid, doesn't know what he's talking about. The clicking is associated with increased heat. Not only does the cookware buzz softly after the click, but whatever I'm cooking sizzles louder, then softer after the buzzing stops. When I complained about it here, kaseki posited that KA used "low cost mechanical relay" instead of solid state to modulate the heat. Hence, the magnets turn on and off, and the pot gets hotter and cooler. It cooks just fine for my purposes, but it definitely isn't built the same way as all other induction units. Ask the shop owner about this and tell me if his eyes glaze over. Of course, it's possible KA changed this after we all started calling customer service.

This is a link to my original complaint, when I was in shock after I'd used it in the morning stillness for the very first time, and you can see kaseki's explanation. The noise doesn't bother me much anymore, to be honest. I guess you can adapt to anything. Or maybe I'm losing my hearing from accompanying underage DD to rock concerts ;-)
