“Hi, I was wondering approximately how long the cooktop takes to cool to a touchable level after cooking something? I understand that it won't get hot without the correct pan, but after cooking, how long does it take the heat from cooking to go away?”

Not sure if your interest is on the glass surface temperature (for safety) or in keeping food hot. It depends. If temperature of what you just finished cooking was high, it will take longer to cool down. If the hot pan is left on the cooktop it can take several minutes to cool. This basically depends on the characteristics of the pan. A heavy one, will take longer, but this is the same as in the case of any other range. If the hot pan is removed after completing cooking, the glass surface may need about one minute to cool. Consider that if the hot pan is removed, what remains hot is the cooktop glass, only, no other metal parts as in a regular range. In any case, an indicator will let you know that the area is hot.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi mtnbkr74 - Thanks for your interest! Induction cooking only heats the area in direct contact with iron-containing cookware. This means that the induction cooktop surface not covered by cookware remains cool to the touch. The glass surface may be hot from residual heat transferred from the cookware. The surface indicator lights will shut off when the surface temperature drops approximately below 150 degrees.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.In less that one minute after removing a pan from the transducer, the surface can easily be touched. It may still be a bit warm, but you can place your hand there and keep it there without wanting to pull back. Overall a wonderful cooking experience.
