Beneath the sleek surface of the Wolf 91 cm Induction Cooktop dwells a cooking technology of startling precision and power. Its called magnetic induction. The cooktop doesnt heat up, the cookware does, fast and with perfectly distributed heat. Turn an element up or down, and the temperature response is instantaneous up to 40% faster than gas or electric. Wolf induction produces very high highs and very low lows, for faster sears and boils or gentle simmers and melts. (A low-end finesse that other induction cooktops may not give you.)Beneath the sleek surface of the Wolf 91 cm Induction Cooktop dwells a cooking technology of startling precision and power.

It has five elements and five bridging options, for an unrivaled ability to accommodate the widest possible variety of pan sizes and dish preparation. Black ceramic glass surface resists scratching, staining, impact and heat. Illuminated white LED sliding touch controls are crisp and easy to read. And its minimalist design coordinates nicely with any kitchen décor.
