How does something like that (at $1500) compare to the performance of e.g. a full range like https://www.geappliances.com/appliance/GE-Profile-30-Smart-Slide-In

How does something like that (at $1500) compare to the performance of e.g. a full range like https://www.geappliances.com/appliance/GE-Profile-30-Smart-Slide-In-Fingerprint-Resistant-Front-Control-Induction-and-Convection-Range-with-No-Preheat-Air-Fry-PHS930YPFS https://www.geappliances.com/appliance/GE-Profile-30-Smart-S... (at twice that, but for an entire rangetop)?
- amluto 5y agoThe Profile can supposedly do the closed-loop trick if you pair it with Heston Cue pans. The manual makes this sound like a real PITA, and do you really want a pan with batteries and bluetooth? The Control Freak is compatible with any sufficiently flat magnetic cookware. Do you really want to be limited to a choice of a whopping three compatible pans? The world is full of excellent pots and pans at varying price points, and these are not compatible with the Cue system. This includes, for example: Essentially disposable nonstick pans (pay a small premium for induction compatibility). Enameled cast iron Dutch ovens. Very high end nitride-coated pans from Hestan, compatible with any induction stove except Hestan Cue. Plain old cast iron. Magnetic steel comals. Carbon steel seasonable pans, paella pans, etc. A flat-bottom wok. All of those work on induction stoves, and all work on a device like the Control Freak. Just put them on and set a temperature. On the other hand, the GE range has an app and buttons. Where’s the knob?
- dmd 5y agoHmm. As someone who has never in his life measured the temperature of anything on top of the stove, maybe this is overkill?
