Bosch - 500 Series 30" Built-In Electric Induction Cooktop with 4 elements - Black

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm still new to and leaerning about induction cooking but my Bosch cooktop is making it so easy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have had our cooktop for about a month now and we like it. Only issue is that you can hear the coil turn off and on while something is simmering and it's a little annoying. Otherwise, nice product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Looks so cool. Heats quickly & love how it shows that stove is still hot when turned off

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm just learning to use an induction cooktop and so far so good. The manual was helpful and the surface is easy to clean. Glad we selected this for our newly remodeled kitchen.

I've been living with this stove top for a few months now. I love to cook elaborate meals and use it several times a day. It's functionality is absolutely awful. Like most anything made these days, they are entirely designed for asthetic, and not for functional reliable use. Keep in mind as you read ahead what cooking is all about: Heat control Lets start with the buttons: The buttons are very slow and unresponsive. That alone renders this product as terrible. With a traditional stove top, setting a tempature, or turning of a burner is as simple as rotating a dial which takes fractions of a second. Instead we have buttons that control the "heat". On this stove top the "heat" cycle in increments of .5. To cycle from 0 to 10 takes exactly 10 seconds (I timed it). So imagine juggling multiple pans/pots where you need to attend the food. Instead of being able to flick a knob and turn of a burner in a matter of a second, you now have to hold a button for 7 seconds to turn your burner from 7 to off. You make think I'm being a nit, but I encourage you to think about this next time you are cooking your meal. And WHY with the beeping. Why does everything these days need to beep so loud. You can turn it of when selecting heat ranges, but it's still there for everything else. The Burners: What was Bosch thinking when they placed the burners right up against oneanother? It's awful when you are trying to juggle multiple burners and the pots/pans are touching. There is no room for the handles, they have to point outwards to the sides. And to put both of the large ones in the back? Majority of the cooking (unless you favor soup) is done in saute and frying pans which usually range at minumum in the 8"+ . The two front burners are BOTH 5.5" in diameter. Who on earth uses 5.5" diameter Anything? In addition, the burners emit a loud, pulsing, high frequency sound. Icing on the cake is this stove top cost 2k! See it in person BEFORE you buy. Try to imagine it with your cooking habits, your pots/pans, and in your kitchen! I completely regret purchasing this product. I'm making plan to scrap it already and I'm looking forward to the day it's gone! Thanks for scamming me Bosch!
