THOR Kitchen's Built-In Induction Cooktops | 2022

Designers: THOR Kitchen Inc., Ontario California, USA
Manufacturer: THOR Kitchen Inc., Ontario California, USA

THOR Kitchen’s new Built-In Induction Cooktops are the latest in the brand’s line of energy-efficient cooking appliances. Sleek and powerful in design, the cooktops utilize induction cooking technology to combine the temperature responsiveness of a gas cooktop with an even faster performance than an electric cooktop. Known as one of the most energy-efficient kitchen appliances, induction cooktops generate energy from electromagnetic fields below the glass, which directly transfers the heat to the magnetic cookware. This technology ensures less heat is released beyond the surface and provides faster, more precise heat compared to traditional gas or electric stove tops.  

Available in 30-inch and 36-inch models, THOR Kitchen’s Built-In Induction Cooktops are designed with nine power levels, digital touch controls, and an independent boost and timer. The 30-inch cooktop has four heating elements with 7,200 watts of total power. The 36-Inch cooktop has five heating elements for a combined 9,300 watts of total power. Both models feature an independent Power Boost adjustment that can be activated to quickly get the cooktop elements up to a high desired temperature to create meals at a rapid speed.  

The Induction Cooktops are designed with ceramic black glass with small ‘T’ shapes lining the surface for a subtle yet intriguing pattern. They are finished with Digital LED displays, which are touch and slide controlled, easy to read and smooth against the surface to allow for effortless cleanup. Safety features include a Residual Heat Indicator, child lock and automatic shut-off, which turns the unit off after two hours if a pot isn’t present, to provide peace of mind. With many cities across the United States enacting building codes to reduce reliance on gas, builders, architects and developers need alternative appliances that provide energy efficiency for new home construction projects. THOR Kitchen's Built-In Induction Cooktops are an ideal solution for specifiers looking to meet these new codes, and for homeowners who would like to replace their existing appliances with cleaner, more energy-efficient products.
