Hello everyone,
we are currently configuring the kitchen. When it comes to the cooktop, we are a bit uncertain about the choice. In the past, there was the classic setup based on the (round) size of the pots, possibly with a roasting zone, or should we go for a fully flexible cooktop that automatically detects the shape, size, and position of the pots.

Alternatively, maybe a combination of both options??? That way, it might also be possible to use a Teppanyaki attachment...

So, you can’t just quickly pull a boiling pot off the cooktop to stop the cooking process as fast as possible.

With induction, you actually don’t need to do that. Just turn off the cooktop and the power goes away. The cooktop itself no longer generates heat...

True.
Well – I guess the reflex of "pulling the pot off the hot plate" that’s been ingrained over decades still applies here (especially if you have the controls set on another active burner).
In 10 years, I’ll probably have internalized the reflex to simply turn off the burner.

How do you manage the different levels for such large surface areas? Not every heating zone should be set to the same temperature.

I admit, I haven’t connected them together so far. I never did that with my old stove either.
I manage quite well without it. However, I often use a second, small oven for that.

So far, I have also used my flexible cooking zones as individual spots. Somehow, when cooking, I usually need many small areas rather than very large ones. It is really convenient, though, when you can fit three pans on the cooktop at the same time.
