KitchenAid tackles
induction
We've been extolling the virtues of induction for a while now, as it offers all the
Advantages of gas and electric cooking with none of the drawbacks. The KitchenAid
KICU509XBL (MSRP $1,749.00) ceramic cooktop offers another compelling reason
To seriously consider moving over to induction. It functions as well as other induction
Ranges we have tested, but it also has cool features such as a bridge burner and a superpowerful
boil. While the price may be intimidating, rest assured that even at $1,749
($1,849 for the stainless steel version) this cooktop is worth every penny.
Design & Usability
The KICU509XBL doesn't stray too far from the standard ceramic cooktop template. In
Fact, if you didn't know it was induction, you may believe it was just another radiant version.
The simple black coating is understated and tasteful while the angular controls provide an
Excellent counterpoint to the round burners. True, lovers of industrial-style ranges will be
Disappointed, but those who favor the minimalist approach are in for a treat.
Traditionalists may balk at the KICU509XBL, which eschews physical dials in favor of
touch controls. We, on the other hand, were impressed with the sheer number of
options on display. The cooktop features the standard functions common to induction:
Temperature level settings, a timer, and a control lock. Like nearly all induction cooktops,
It will also automatically detect the size of a pan and then adjust the magnetic field
accordingly. Additionally, the Performance Boost feature bypasses the maximum high
Setting for ten minutes for much speedier boiling. This one also includes a bridge purpose--
Which transforms the two left burners into one oblong burner to accommodate for large
or unusually-shaped cookware.

Obvious benefits of induction. In our tests, the primary burner took just two minutes to
Two minutes!
Take five minutes to be a superb time for a conventional gas or electric burner.
And if you want to bring the temperature down, induction responds almost

Boiling speeds sound, just be aware that using an induction cooktop demands certain

About your unwillingness to embrace induction cooking.
See, despite induction's apparent advantages over conventional electric cooktops, the
Technology has been slow to take from the United States.
Likely financial: put simply, induction appliances are costly, and they require
magnetic cookware. The KitchenAid KICU509XBL, however, costs only a bit more than
Comparable radiant models but blows anything else out of the water in regards to
performance. Perhaps this will be the model that conquers the New World.
