5.0(1)

This Series 9 cooktop is a joy to use, with the instant response and energy efficiency of induction technology. The surface around your cookware stays cool when you cook – preventing baked-on spills and making cleaning up a breeze. Less heat is wasted during induction cooking because only the cookware is heated, not the cooktop surface. This makes induction cooking more energy-efficient than electric or gas cooktops.
