Smoothtop Cooktop with Bridge Element
Comments (5)Well, if a bridge element isn't that important afterall, I can recommend this GE model. I've had mine for 3-4 years. I't's a trouble-free winner. Very precise controls and smooth all-over. No nooks/crannies to catch gunk. Here is a link that might be useful: GE range you might want to consider....See More36 inch induction cooktop with bridging
Comments (13)I also have the Jenn-Air 36" cook-top with two "bridge" elements. I love the induction but am totally unhappy with the supposedly bridge elements. The space between the burners does not heat up as in non-induction bridge elements. When you turn on the "bridge" element all it does is control the two burners at the same time. So my griddle has two hot spots - the pancakes cook poorly in the other non-heated areas. We'll probably opt for an electric countertop griddle as stir_fryi suggests....See MoreInduction uncertainty and bridge hangup
Comments (11)I have a 30" Bosch with the largest hob toward the middle-rear right. I use it most of the time and it's not awkward because the small hob in front usually isn't in service at the same time. I have another on the rear left, if needed. My medium sized hob is front left and is also used frequently. A little test run at the store may help you with the layout questions. I've rarely used all four hobs at once. Most of the time 1-2 are going. Occasionally 3. I bought a Demeyere plancha when it was deeply discounted. It's a wonderful piece of cookware and heats evenly on the left side of my cooktop. That's where the small and medium hob live. Bridging isn't necessary with such an even heating vessel. We also have an electric griddle and my husband and daughter prefer it. I've used both at once a couple of times when a bunch of people are over. Bridging. I can't say you're wrong. If you come across one of the planchas for $99, I'd get that instead. Largest hob. Mine is more centrally located and I like how it feels. I don't normally use the small hob in front at the same time. If I did, I might not like it as much. For reference, I cooked large batches for a family of five. I used the 11" hob nearly every day with zero "I wish" thoughts....See MoreINDUCTION Heating Elements Too Small!?! (Wolf, in particular)
Comments (6)The wolf large element is the same as the miele - 11”. The others elements on the wolf are all the same size which I find provide excellent flexibility in pot placement. There is no issue with a 12” pan on the 11” and I use 10” pans all the time on the others. You can bridge all 4 elements together for a huge cooking area if you need to like a very large griddle Or huge pan. You can also put a 4” pan on any element including the large one - the wolf has excellent pot recognition. I finally did find a pan that the wolf woul not recognize - a really cute 2 1/2” butter melter I picked up in Sweden. I just put it in another pan and set that on the element - works fine for melting butter/chocolate etc. If you needs several 12” or more pans on the burners at the same time - zoneless would be the best option. Thermador has a new zoneless model available (or soon to be) that can handle up to 6 pans simultaneously....See Morewdccruise
