Thor Kitchen has released a new line of cooking appliances — the Built-In Induction Cooktops. Available in 30- and 36-in. models, the cooktops are designed with nine power levels, digital touch controls and an independent boost and timer. Sleek and powerful in design, the Built-In Induction Cooktops utilize induction cooking technology to combine the temperature responsiveness of a gas cooktop with the fast performance of an electric cooktop.
The 30- and 36-in. cooktops from Thor Kitchen have four or five heating elements respectively, each with nine power levels to precisely simmer a sauce or crank up the heat for a caramelized sear. A Power Boost adjustment can be activated to quickly get the cooktop elements up to desired temperature. A Residual Heat Indicator, child lock and automatic shut-off, which turns the unit off after two hours if a pot isn’t present, provides additional safety and peace of mind. The cooktops are designed with Digital LED displays, which are touch and slide controlled, easy to read and allow for effortless cleanup. Small T shapes line the ceramic black glass surface for a subtle yet intriguing design pattern.
Known as one of the most energy-efficient kitchen appliances, induction cooktops generate energy from electromagnetic fields below the glass, which directly transfers the heat to the magnetic cookware. This technology ensures less heat is released beyond the surface and provides faster, more precise heat compared to traditional gas or electric stove tops.
