Top 7 Best Induction Burners On The Market 2020 Reviews

Best Induction Ranges of 2020 - Our Top 5 Picks [REVIEW & VIDEO]

Choosing an induction range that fits your needs and budget can be intimidating with hundreds of different models to choose from. To make it easy, we carefully curated our top 5 induction ranges of 2020 so you can feel confident your decision.

Induction cooktop on a range provides optimized cooking at its best. Finally, induction cooking is recognized the most energy efficient cooking method. Induction stoves are quickly becoming the preferred choice among chefs who value speed, precision, and easy cleanup. The elements in an induction cooktop turn your pans into heat vessels that respond to precise temperature changes during the cooking process. Contrary to rumor, your pots and pans will work on an induction cooktop as long as a magnet sticks to the bottom of them.

There's no arguing that induction is a major improvement over older electric cooking technology such as electric radiant or coil cooktops and the responsive temperature control is far more accurate than cooking over a gas flame. One big bonus is how easy they are to clean, just requiring a quick wipe down after cooking. But, what we really like are the built-in safety features. There is no heat exchange unless there's a pot on top of an element and as soon as the pot is removed or if the pot boils over, the heating stops.

Best Induction Range Picks for 2020

1) Most Reliable Induction Range: GE Profile PHS930SLSS

Our top pick for most people is this GE Profile 30-inch slide-in induction range

This induction range checks most boxes when it comes to finding the perfect range for our customers. For starters, this is a slide-in range that is meant to be able to replace a pre-existing freestanding range. Unlike some slide-in ranges, this one has finished sides meaning it has a finished look even if it's exposed on one side. Also unlike other slide-ins, the range doesn't have a overhanging lip around the edge meaning you can install this close to a wall on either side. When it comes to cooking performance this range features 4 burners plus a 5th burner which can be used as a warming area. You can also bridge together two of the burner zones to accommodate larger pots and pans like a griddle or fish pan, making for a more versatile stove top which we love.

The oven features true European convection for precise cooking and even heat. The oven includes three oven racks and a storage drawer down below for added convenience.

2) Best Induction Range w/Guided Cooking: Cafe CHS950P2MS1

This model has all the features of the GE Profile we highlighted before and more. The range has a distinct pro-style design with control knobs to control the burner elements instead of electronic controls, making it more intuitive to quickly change temperature settings. The thick handles also give it a heavy-duty commercial feel.

It features Hestan Cue technology, which when connected to a Hestan Cue enabled pan, allows you to set and keep pan temperature exactly.

Wifi connectivity along with "gourmet cooking app" you will have access to hundreds of video-guided recipes from chefs. Gourmet cooking will take the guesswork out and adjust temperature, and time to help you take your cooking skills to the next level.

5) Best Pro Performance Induction Range: Miele HR16222i

If you are looking of the best induction range money can buy, check out this range from Miele

Miele is a leader in many different kitchen appliance categories, not the least of which is induction ranges. While they do have a sleek modern appearance, Miele appliances look great and timeless in all kitchen types, from contemporary to traditional.

Both the cooktop and the oven on the Miele induction range offer premium performance features. Keep in mind, this is a powerful pro-style range, so the electrical requirements are a little bit higher than on a typical induction range. Here you'll need a 50 amp dedicated electric circuit.

The cooktop features 4 independent cooking zones. On most induction ranges you need to be careful what size cookware you use for each burner. For example using a small pan on a larger burner will result in less power being used. However, the Miele cooktop surface is able to direct all of the power from the larger burner into the smaller pan meaning you can use any size pan on any size burner as long as it fits inside of the elements boundaries. Each burner can be boosted which pulls power from other zones to reach a hotter temperature more quickly.

In terms of durability, like all Miele appliances, Miele tests their ranges to last for years to come. In fact on their induction glass surface, they drop a steel ball from 12" to make sure the surface is 100% resistant to cracking.

The oven performance is equally impressive. In the oven you'll get Miele's dual European convection. With Miele's MasterChef guided cooking system, you'll get over 100 pre-programmed recipes, so you don’t need to worry about setting the time or temperature before cooking. With the intuitive M-Touch touch screen display, simply select the food type, portion size and temperature without any guesswork.
