36 inch Induction cooktop recommendations
Comments (5)I had a Monogram which is the same unit with the exception of not having a pan size sensor (which I don't truly get since its not like the "burner" gets hot). We were really happy with it from a performance standpoint. It, and induction all together, lived up to the hype. It was as fast as i had hoped, and it offered all of the control i was expecting. I had three nits though: 1) Cleaning our unit's controls would often cause the controls to beep and read "error". This happend even if the cooktop was locked. It was never a big deal, but it kinda annoyed my wife. 2) The user interface isn't as slick as some other units with a slide type control. Going from low to high means you have to put your finger on it and let it climb 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 etc all the way to 10 (I know, first world problems right?). Some units now have a slide bar that works like an iPad. 3) We somehow got a scratch on the glass after only 6 months. It didn't affect performance, and neither my wife or I remember doing it. In the long run it wasn't a big deal either since it was just cosmetic. If I was going to rate it, it would easily be a 9 out of 10, and like I say, those were nits and nothing serious. I liked the fact that General Electric made the unit since they have a lot of experience making high voltage electric devices--I trust them more than some more "appliance-focused" companies who might not have as much experience in that neighborhood (personal opinion there though). We lost our house in a wildfire last summer or I wouldn't be talking about the stove in the past tense. This go around, we are doing a Thermador instead because we are going with a full package, but we considered doing GE again too. Good luck with your decision!...See MoreWolf 36 inch frameless induction cooktop (CT36IU)
Comments (1)The Wolf CT36I/S is online. I presume the /U stands for no frame as opposed to the /S which is stainless framed. I haven't seen or heard of the "U" model, nor is it on the Wolf site. It is a very nice looking 5 burner unit, with one non-boosted 4,000 BTU burner. But it is very pricey--about $3,795 MSRP. I would think you must have a strong desire for matching Wolf appliances to have this one, as there are many comparable models at over $1,000 less--some at almost $2,000 less.

Comments (35)kekramer, I definitely use my CSO more than the M series. While I love the M series convection, the CSO heats up faster and is waaaayyyy more versatile. I am also a bread baker and this oven is a game changer for me (I have broken oven glass in prior ovens by spilling water on the glass trying to introduce steam lol). You can get EXCELLENT results with bread in this oven. There have been multiple threads on Houzz about how to get the best bread baking results with a CSO, and here is my method. I run the steam first for about 10 minutes, making sure that the oven cavity is good and steamy with plenty of condensation on the bottom of the oven. Then I load the bread loaf (or loaves), put it on auto steam bake, and find that the excess water in the oven provides even more spring to the loaf after the beginning steam phase is over and has cut over to higher baking temps. The Wolf CSO has another mode called "Convection Humid" which is great for quick breads. It seals the cavity during Convection so that steam cannot escape, thus making the bread more moist. Muffins and quick breads really shine in this mode. Side note, I use my M series to proof bread. The proof function works really well. If you make jams and jellies, the steam oven can also be used to do the canning step in replacement for a boiling water bath (BWB). The jars can be steamed to sanitize before filling, and then steamed at 210 degrees for 30 minutes. It works great, and best of all, no tip overs and sealing failures....See MoreWolf 36 inch induction cooktop over wall oven
Comments (6)We replaced a Fisher Paykel gas cooktop with a 36" Wolf induction. It sits over a Kitchenaid wall oven. It was the only brand that would fit because it has the shallowest profile. That being said, we tend to use the second wall oven much more because it is easier to access. The 36" over the 30" oven looks fine however....See MoreDesign Girl
