  "account": "Miele has introduced its newest full-surface induction cooktops, expanding its line of high-end kitchen appliances in North America. Unlike gas ranges, which chefs have traditionally favored, induction cooktops offer even heat distribution, eco-friendliness, cleanliness, and safety. Unlike other cooking methods, induction stovetops transfer heat directly to the cookware rather than the stovetop surface, making it faster and safer. Miele's previous induction cooktops had designated cooking zones, but the new full-surface models allow for more flexibility in moving pots around while cooking. Miele's induction cooktops employ intelligent pot-recognition technology that detects the position and size of each cooking pot, displaying the control elements accordingly. When moving the cookware, the power settings change accordingly. David Watsky, CNET's home and kitchen editor, has become an induction stovetop evangelist, praising its ease of cleaning and air quality improvement. Miele's new induction cooktops are available in 30- and 36-inch sizes, fitting up to six pieces of cookware at once. The 30-inch model is priced at $6,000, while the 36-inch option costs $7,000. While not a budget option, Watsky believes Miele's new induction cooktop will serve as an innovation in the induction stovetop category, potentially encouraging other brands to integrate similar technology in future releases.",
