Overview

KitchenAid 36 in. Induction Cooktop with 5 Smoothtop Burners

36-Inch 5-Element Sensor Induction Cooktop
Level up everyday cooking adventures with the speed and precision of this 36" KitchenAid Sensor Induction Cooktop. Sensor Induction Technology generates heat directly within cookware, reaching high temperatures quickly and cooling down rapidly for precise control that enables a full range of cooking techniques.

Features:

Sensor Induction Technology
Generates heat directly within cookware, reaching high temperatures quickly and cooling down rapidly for precise control that enables a full range of cooking techniques.

Auto Presets for Melt, Simmer, Keep Warm and Boil
Automatically set the right heat for different techniques and stages of cooking, taking the guesswork out of choosing settings.

Assisted Cooking Modes for Boil, Fry and Grill
Help you take on high-heat techniques with confidence. Sensor monitoring automatically sets the ideal heat, alerts you when to add ingredients and maintains constant temperature while food cooks. Requires the use of specialty KitchenAid pans (sold separately).*Register your cooktop to receive accessory pots and pans at no additional cost.

Power Boost Function
Allows you to exceed the maximum heat-level setting for 5 minutes, to help you get to a rapid boil

Additional Features:

Touch-Activated Controls
For assisted cooking modes, auto presets and numerical power settings are simple to use. The seamless design is also easy to clean.

Pan Size Detection
Recognizes the size and placement of cookware to generate heat directly within the pan. An indicator light and sound will alert you if you turn the cooktop on without a pan on the selected element or if your pan is not compatible with induction cooking.

Control Lock
Disables cooking mode for easy cleaning when not in use.

Frameless Design
Allows flush installation for a seamless look or standard installation to fit an existing cooktop cutout.

Requires Induction-Compatible Cookware
Such as multi-ply stainless steel, enamelled steel or cast iron. Aluminum and copper cookware will not work unless it has a base made of iron or steel. Look for pans marked "Works with Induction" or test to see if a magnet will stick to the bottom.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Happy with the change [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I replaced my gas stove cooktop with this electric induction recently, and honestly I had some hesitations at first because I’ve always cooked with a gas cooktop. It did take a little getting used to but I’m happy with this stovetop, and it also gives me peace of mind that it’s better for my health as well. Overall happy with the switch.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have never had an electric cooktop and have always used gas. With everyone pushing for electric appliances I decided to give it a go. It took a little time to figure it out but once I did it is a great way to cook and I love it. So long as you have the right kind of pans it is quick, efficient and super easy. I don't know why I waited so long.Great cooktop, great manufacturer. Lots of great features, plenty of room for everything.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from New way to cook, never going back [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been a gas stove user and this induction cooktop is a game changer! You will need stainless steel pots and pans to enjoy but it’s worth it. Food cooks evenly, no more dead zones in the pans. It heats up fast. I like the 5 minute heat boost, especially for boiling water. It cools down fast too so I can clean without lag time. The auto presets helps to set the exact temperatures you need to melt, simmer or boil. It look wonderful also! Sleek, smooth and flush with my counter. Highly recommend it! So many features. Looks good and functional too!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Makes cooking fun and easy [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 1. The cook top makes the kitchen look classy and elegant. It just beautifully blends in and stands out so well. 2. Cleaning it was so easy. I didn’t need to scrub anything off of it. Wiping it down made it very clean. 3. The food cooked surprisingly quickly. And it was even in terms of heating the food all over the pan. 4. It is definitely a safe and convenient alternative to gas. 5. There are sufficient heating spots to cook 2-3 meals easily without overcrowding. 6. Overall, I love how it makes my kitchen look now and how quickly it cooks.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love the new technology [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had been hearing about induction cooktops for a while, and decided to finally get one. Oh my gosh, it is amazing. I am so pleased with how quickly it heats things up. It’s so easy to clean. I was so tired of dropping stuff between the grates of my gas stove.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love it [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very easy and strait forward to use. Love the middle large burner for my very large pots. Never had one so big , it seems to make a big difference in cook time. Love that is is so easy to keep clean. Just a quick wipe down. Verses a traditional stove top with burners. Heating elements heat up pretty quickly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Classy and functional [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cooktop looks great! I'm impressed by the clean lines, modern flair and overall sleekness of this cooktop. Functionally, I've had a great experience cooking with this cooktop. I made sure to use stainless steel pans and its been really really efficient cooking with this. Overall, it looks great and functions well enough to match how great it looks. Happy to recommend it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Never going back! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cooktop has been excellent! Easy to use, easy to clean, fast and safe. I was a little nervous about replacing our standard electric cooktop with this one, but it has been well worth it. It heats up so fast and the heat is even everywhere in the pan. We did have to replace our cookware with induction ready pots and pans, but I have no regrets. The quick cooldown after use makes me feel more comfortable about having my little ones in the kitchen and I'm able to make dinner so much faster now. Highly recommended!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Stunning [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can't express how much I love this cooktop and KitchenAid. I've been wanting to switch out some appliances and go from gas to electric. I started with the stove and realized I would prefer a cook top instead. I settled on this one after doing some research, it's really easy to use and installation wasn't really an issue either. It's beautifully made and looks stunning in my kitchen, I should have made the switch sooner.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Better than gas or electric [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has been so much easier to cook with and clean than any stove I have had before, both gas and electric.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wow greatest product I have seen for a while [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received my 36 inch5 element sensor cooktop unit and have finally had it installed wow this is one of the top notch units and very nicely made has 5 units on the top and very sturdy and works very well if any person needs to replace the unit I would definitely recommend kitchen aid very good quality and really easy to install I was very shocked to find out it was that easy also I was not aware that you could replace your stove tops I assumed you had to replace the whole stove so wow I learned something new but yes very very nice and would recommend this to anyone out there

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beautiful and Easy to install [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really a nice unit and easy to install.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome 36" large induction cooktop [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This KitchenAid induction cooktop is the center piece of my kitchen. I have to tell you that going induction had me concerned but glad we have it installed now. It heats up everything very quickly and efficiently. I would say faster than gas or standard electric element and it is much safer than both of those as well. The buttons on it are extremely easy to use and the sensing technology makes sure it heats up the pan/pot without having to worry about putting it exactly in the correct position. It is safe for children since it isn't hot to the touch unless right after cooking and there is an auto lock feature on it as well. The frameless design makes cleaning a synch. All in all a great product. Glad I have it in my kitchen.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing induction cooktop [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was the first induction cooktop I've had. I just got it, for a remodel and sell house project. Very sleek modern look. Cooks very well but have to have special pans. I wish it was a little larger in some of the burner areas for large pans but overall ok for a 36". Very impressed with it and would recommend it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great cooktop [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cooktop not only looks stylish, but it is very effective. It is so much faster and heats so much more evenly than my gas cooktop. The controls are very intuitive, and the 5 burner system makes for all kinds of versatility. Overall, I am very happy with it. It has upped my kitchen game significantly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Everything that I had hoped for [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We lived with propane cooking for the first 16 years in this house and lived with the fumes and film. Now, cooking is fast and much cleaner and I am so very happy with this induction cooktop.
Date published: 2023-04-18
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Works [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This induction cooktop is really nice. It was easy for my husband to install, but he also is very construction savvy, so it makes sense it was easy for him. I didn’t know much about induction before this. I was told that induction gets instantly cool after you turn off the heat and take off the pan. This is not true. It’s still really hot. I would say it cools down quicker though. I had to buy all new pans that would work with the induction. I never really thought about this before hand. I would say this does not heat up too quickly. I think I expected more from this product. It does work well, but it’s not that different than my electric cooktop I was using before. Would I opt for induction over electric in the future? Probably, if the price wasn’t too much more.
Date published: 2023-09-25
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Terrible features [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It doesn't boil water as fast as the previous model. In fact, it is slower than a non-induction cooktop. Also, when you turn on a burner you have to click several times on the temperature knob in order to get to P. On the previous model you can click only once and P would be turn on. And last, you cannot turn off all the burners with one key, you have to turn them off individually. Who was the genius behind this?
Date published: 2024-01-11
Rated 2 out of 5 by from Looks Great But Not Working [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The cooktop was installed by professionals and looks really nice. The only issue we are having is a big one - the large center element is not working. Straight out of the box and we are already having an issue. I hope this is a one-time problem.
Date published: 2023-02-06
Rated 2 out of 5 by from Induction Stovetop review [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this induction stove top as a replacement for our old Kitchenaid Inductions Stovetop. We are VERY DISAPPOINTED! The one we had before was awesome. This one takes forever to get to boil or even a high temperature. We have however already done what was suggested in the manual to "up the power" with no difference. One burner heats faster and hotter than the others. There is no small burner with the "boil" function. So if I wanted to boil 2 eggs I would have to use a bigger pot or wait a long time to get the temp up on the small burner. All our appliances in the kitchen are Kitchenaid and have been great so that's why we continued to buy Kitchenaid but I have to say we are disappointed in this stove top! Also the P or power level of the burner will not stay on longer than 5 minutes. UGH ! I would not recommend your current product to any new buyers!
