Induction Elements: Induction technology transfers energy directly into any magnetic cookware for faster, more energy-efficient heating. Plus, the elements cool down faster to avoid baked-on messes for a quicker cleanup. Assisted Cooking: Use the Assisted Boiling feature for pasta and rice, or Assisted Frying for vegetables, meats and French fries – these settings indicate when water or oil reaches the correct temperature to add food. (Requires specialized accessory pot or pan, available separately through Whirlpool). Keep Warm Setting: Keep dishes from getting cold while you finish up meal preparation. Melt Option: This function allows you to bring food to the ideal temperature for melting to achieve optimum taste and texture without risk of burning. This method won’t damage delicate ingredients like chocolate and helps prevent food from sticking to cookware. A Precise Simmer for Precise Cooking: Maintain a low temperature to prepare items with long cook times like sauces and soups. Control Lock: Disable the control panel to avoid unintended use or other changes to your cooking settings. Residual Heat Indicator: A light will let you know when the cooktop's still hot to the touch, even after it's been turned off. |
