Sears Kenmore - Induction Cooktop June 2008

Commercial chefs have been using induction cooking since the 1990s; however, until now it was considered too expensive for residential use. Sears’ new Kenmore® Elite 30-inch induction cooktop, which uses technology that eliminates red-hot burners, is priced less than $1,500.

Instead of heating up burners on the stove, the induction cooktop places heat directly into the pan holding the food. The pan cooks the food while the surface stays cooler than conventional cooktops. Induction cooking is extremely fast and safe, and the surface is easy to clean.

The Kenmore Elite induction cooktop has four cooking zones: 5.7 inches; 7.1 inches; 8.3 inches and 10.6 inches, which will accommodate a 12-inch pan. A “Power Boost” mode takes the cooking zone to 125 percent power for up to 10 minutes. Available in black ceramic glass.

MSRP is $1,499
