Induction 30" and 36" Wide Cooktops

Most high-end stainless steel, cast iron, and

enamel cookware is compatible with induction.

To be sure, test yours with a magnet.

Innovate your kitchen.

The first Viking range introduced professional

performance to the home. Now, after nearly 20 years

of innovation, Viking redefines the way we cook

again – with induction cooktops.

Instead of gas or traditional electric elements,

induction cooking utilizes magnetic energy. Induction

power generators create a magnetic field, which reacts

with the ferrous material in the base of the cookware –

instantly transforming the pot or pan into the heat source.

The energy transfer stops just as quickly when the

cookware is removed – leaving the cooktop surface

cool to the touch almost immediately.

But old habits die hard, especially in the kitchen. So

Viking induction cooktops are available in all-induction

models or as induction/radiant combination units

featuring high-performance MagneQuick

™

induction

power generators, as well as QuickCook™ electric elements.

Professional performance. PhD power.

Viking MagneQuick induction power generators are

controlled with the same technology used in commercial

induction equipment – ensuring maximum efficiency,

performance, and reliability. The induction cooktop’s

high-tech performance allows for an infinite number

of settings between a 100-watt simmer and 3,300-

watt boil – and the power to back it up.

And all that power goes directly into your cooking.

Any energy generated by the cooking element that

doesn’t enter the pan is wasted. And with nowhere

else to go, this radiant energy heats up the kitchen.

But with induction cooking, almost all the energy is

transferred directly into the cookware. No cooking

time or energy is wasted. This earns induction a

90%+ efficiency rating – more efficient than typical

gas or electric elements.

Due to the nature of gas and electric cooking,

cookware should match the size of the burner or

element. Because of the efficiency of induction

cooking, size is not an issue. Only the area in contact

with the cookware generates heat.

Highly compatible with cookware. And washcloths.

Although not all cookware will work on induction,

most of today’s high-end cookware is

compatible. And of course, all Viking cookware is

designed to perform with induction, electric, and gas

cooking units. Stainless steel, enamel, and cast iron are

usually induction-friendly, while copper, glass, and

aluminum are not. An easy way to test induction

compatibility is to place a magnet on the bottom of

your pan – if it sticks, you’re cooking.

Induction is the most efficient way

to cook. By instantly transferring

energy directly into the cookware,

virtually no radiant energy is wasted.

Viking induction cooktops not only keep your kitchen cool,

they keep it clean. The induction power generators are

located beneath a continuous ceramic glass surface. So

there are no nooks & crannies for food to spill into. And since

it’s the cookware instead of the cooktop generating

heat, spills don’t get baked onto the glass. You may

never need more than a damp cloth to clean up.

With Viking induction cooking, you’ll never have to

wonder if you left the cooktop on. Not only does

induction heat stop as soon as the pan is removed,

the “no contact” feature automatically turns the

power generators off if the pan is not replaced within

two minutes. Likewise, cookware resting on the cooktop

won’t heat up until you turn the power on.

Viking induction cooktops are quite a culinary

advancement – perhaps the greatest cooking innovation

since the discovery of fire, if not the Viking range.
