Why the Chef Collection Induction Range is Right for Your Kitchen

Samsung’s Chef Collection is a line of highly innovative kitchen appliances with some really unique features, inspired by consultations with some of the world’s greatest chefs. The induction range is not only well designed for convenience, safety and performance, it is also the perfect choice for your kitchen. The result is not only an intuitive kitchen appliance, it is an induction range that is built to create gourmet meals.

Induction cooktop technology is quite simply a great way to cook. Induction ranges produce heat from an electromagnetic current that is generated by an induction coil below the surface of the range. When the element is powered on, iron or iron alloy pots and pans generate heat directly – the cooktop is not heated and remains cool or warm. Induction cooking is remarkably fast, and it is also safer, more energy efficient and easier to clean.

Samsung’s NZ9900J Induction Cooktop harnesses this technology but makes it even more user friendly and stylish than ever before. The black cooktop is highlighted by a brilliant ice blue LED Display, but perhaps the most innovative feature is the Virtual Flame. With induction heating, there are no flames, illuminated coils or other visual cues that would indicate that the pan or pot on the element is hot. Samsung developed the LED-lit Virtual Flame that flickers like a real gas flame when the pan is heated. It makes induction cooking more intuitive for home chefs. At higher levels, flames are blue and at simmering temperatures, the flames are violet.

The Virtual Flame is also a visual cue that will remind the user that they have something cooking. Statistics show that many people multi-task while cooking. The Virtual Flame helps keep the user’s attention on the task at hand.

The Magnetic Knob provides extremely precise control compared to conventional touch type controls. The knob is also removable, which makes it easier to clean the cooktop. The knob allows for greater accuracy when setting the temperature, and because it is induction, the temperature can be adjusted almost instantly. There is even a Quick Start option, which delivers instant high heat. So the pan is instantly ready to sear your steak at high heat at the push of a button. The heat can then be quickly reduced to finish the meat. This is also especially helpful when throwing a kettle on to boil. There is also a pause function, which provides one-touch control to switch off the heat instantly, too. The ability to control the temperature with great speed and precision is a fantastic tool for chefs who need their dishes to be perfect every time.

The induction range is also equipped with a Wide Flex Zone, a 950cm2 rectangular area that can accommodate pots and pans of varying shapes and sizes including large cookware. It provides the versatility to cook a variety of different dishes at once. The range also comes with an intuitive and helpful “keep warm” button, which will keep everything at proper temperature without over-cooking.

For the best meals in your home cooked with great convenience and a touch of style, the Chef Collection Induction Range is well equipped to handle the job.
