10 Tips That Will Make You Guru In Ovens
Searching for a 36-inch
electric cooktop? Call off
the search.
The Electrolux EI36EC45KS (MSRP $1,399.00) 36-inch electric cooktop is a stellar
Example of cooking technology done right. Electrolux's potent mix of simple design,
Effortless controls, and some truly staggering performance have resulted in an
Appliance that truly justifies its price.
Don't lie: When it comes to performance, the EI36EC45KS's merits can't be
overstated.
Design & Usability
Nothing revolutionary and that is no bad thing.
The EI36EC45KS's design aesthetic is a prime example of sticking to what works. It
Does little to deviate from the standard electric cooktop design, but we are okay with that.
The burners are fairly well spread out, and every one has its own set of controls that
Makes cooking multiple dishes simultaneously a breeze. Additionally, the front-left
Burner features Electrolux's Flex-2-Fit triple component, which means you can adjust what
Part of the burner is on to match your pan size.
The Electrolux EI36EC45KS dispenses with standard physical burner dials in favor of
touch controls. The Glide-2-Set control panel uses hapatic technology (the marginally
Misleading name refers to the colored indicator display, not the actual input method).
Overly dramatic naming conventions aside, we found the controls simple and easy to
use. So much so, in fact, that even the most curmudgeonly of bodily dial fans
Will find something to like, whether it be the quick responsiveness of the touch controls
Or the cool HUD-like display.
Performance
We judge cooktops on three criteria: the time it takes each burner to boil six cups of
Water, and the maximum and minimum burner temperatures we can capture. The
EI36EC45KS blew away the majority of the electric competition in all three categories. In Reality,
The only model to trump it so far is the 30-inch version of the same cooktop--
The EI30EC45KS--and even then only by a small margin.
Boiling water proved no challenge to this cooktop.
Of water in just four minutes. What's more, we expect to see one fast burner, but this
Electrolux features two: the front-right burner required a brief five minutes to tackle the
Same quantity of water. The remaining strands took between 10 and 15 minutes, if
You're boiling a number of pots at once.
As is often the case with electric cooktops, the EI36EC45KS Provides a wide Variety of
temperatures. We recorded an maximum average temperature of 774ºF across the five
Burners, while the Flex-2-Fit burner attained an even hotter high of 804ºF. In much the
Same way that you'll never experience a Lamborgini's top rates if you only use it to
Drive to the grocery store and back, it is worth noting that you are unlikely to require such
Intense levels of heat for anything, but it is impressive nevertheless. On the lower end of
The spectrum, we recored a remarkably gentle 82ºF from the simmer burner, using an
Average low of 84ºF in the remaining four, useful for easily melting butter.
An obvious Option
If you're in the market for a high-performance electric cooktop and have 36 inches of
Counter real estate to spare, then the Electrolux EI36EC45KS is your clear option. Along
With some impressive boiling performance, it offers some of the best maximum and
Minimum temperatures we have ever seen. Electrolux has definitely tapped into a
Winning formula with the EI36EC45KS, something that's supported by the equally highend
Caliber of it's slightly smaller counterpart, the EI30EC45KS.
