Q: What country makes this cooktop?

A: Hello, it is made in the United States. We hope this helps.

Q: Are all the burners induction or are some traditional and some induction to allow for cooking with all types of pans?

A: Hello, this cooktop is an induction cooktop. Thank you for your inquiry about our KitchenAid appliances.

Q: What does induction mean?

A: Hello, Induction cooking is a method of cooking that uses a copper coil underneath the cooking surface to generate electromagnetic energy. This energy transfers directly to your cookware to make it hot enough to cook food. While induction cooktops and ranges may look like a traditional cooktop or range, the way they generate heat to cook food is entirely different. So how does an induction cooktop work differently? A copper coil under the cooktop creates electromagnetic energy. This magnetic energy interacts directly with induction-compatible cookware to make it hot. Because induction skips the step of heating the cooktop, it’s a fast and even cooking method.
