Café CHS900P4MW2 5.7 Cu. Ft. Matte White Smart Induction and Convection Range

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We initially wanted to switch to an induction cooktop with electric oven for cleaner air. What we were surprised by was better tasting food. I can't explain the science. Perhaps it's the speed of temperature changes on the cooktop and the convection assist in the oven, but food tastes better. Most of our pans, including most of the cast iron work on the new surface. Tips: Lock the controls when cleaning, and then they can be left locked until the next use. Clean after every use (soapy water works well.) If you forget to turn off a burner, it cuts the heat, but you must remember eventually to turn the knob back to the off position before the next use. The one easy gliding oven rack is great for heavy items. The knob illuminates when on and a separate warm light illuminates when there is a warm cook surface and automatically turns off when cooled. Three months with this appliance and I couldn't be happier.

I am new to induction cooking but loving it so far. We removed our gas stove and oven. I thought I might have a learning curve, but so far, so good. We use Hexclad pans on the stove, and they work great. We have only had the range for 2 months, so I have not done a lot of baking yet. I know it will be better than my 1970s 50 degrees too hot oven.
