RETAILOBSERVER.COM NOVEMBER 2014 30 • Pan-sensing technology ensures no heat is wasted because the energy is supplied directly to the cooking vessel. • Control provided by induction allows users to hold foods, like sauces, at a simmer or melt for hours, without risk of scorching or burning. • Because the heat is delivered directly to the cooking vessel, the cooktop remains relatively cool to the touch. • Cooktops are easy to clean because spills and splatter won't burn to the surface. New Wolf induction cooktops incorporate the following design and performance features to ensure a beautiful look and delicious results, every time: • Sizes: In addition to 15-inch, 30-inch and 36-inch sizes, Wolf now offers an all-new three-element, 24-inch contemporary model. • Design Styles: 15-inch, 30-inch, and 36-inch sizes are now available in a transitional design style with stainless trim surrounding the cooktop. A contemporary design style is offered in the 24-inch, 30-inch and 36-inch and sits flush with the surrounding countertop for an integrated, seamless look, or can be mounted proud. New design styles coordinate perfectly with Wolf's new generation built-in ovens. • Element Bridging: Wolf induction cooktops have an element bridging capability, which allows for more flexibility regarding cookware types used. Create the exact cooking surface needed with ten options to link top to bottom, side by side, or all elements. • Control Panel: A sleek new sliding touch control panel and user interface will appeal to modern kitchen designs. • Power Boost: The Power Boost feature will deliver even higher heat through the rear elements, providing a wider range of control. "Many of our chefs love to cook with induction and we're seeing a spike in interest at our showrooms as well," said Michele Bedard, vice president of marketing for Wolf. "Induction is like magic. It heats up the cookware quickly and efficiently to bring water to a boil, and just as easily it drops the heat to simmer delicate sauces or melt chocolate. The control induction allows is incredible and the sleek designs Wolf offers work seamlessly with any kitchen."
