Shop NowCafé Induction Range Sizes
Café induction ranges come exclusively in 30" widths. That’s a plus, but it also has its drawbacks. For one, a Cafe 30” induction range fits nicely into standard kitchen layouts and offers a generous 5 cubic foot oven capacity, which is more than enough cooking space for the average home cooks. However, homeowners seeking more space while staying in the realm of induction will find the Café induction stove selection a little limited.
Café Induction Range Configurations
Café induction ranges come in both slide-in and freestanding configurations. Here’s how these range installations translate to the modern kitchen.
- Slide-In Ranges: Slide-in ranges are designed to fit in between kitchen cabinets. This provides a built-in look for a seamless kitchen aesthetic. Installation requires custom cabinet cut-outs.
- Freestanding Ranges: Freestanding ranges can stand alone on the kitchen floor. They come with finished sides since they don't slide between cabinets. This style is easier to install as no cabinet modifications are required.
In addition to a wide range of sizes, Café induction ranges come with different oven configurations to suit your cooking requirements. Let’s break them down for you.
Café Single Oven Induction Ranges
If sweet and simple is your pace in the kitchen, a Café single oven range is the way to go. Aside from customizable hardware and a selection of exclusive finishes such as matte white and matte black, a GE Cafe range from this category offers approximately 5 cubic feet of oven capacity—enough room to cook a 25-pound turkey.
Café Double Oven Induction Ranges
A Cafe double oven induction range provides two independent cooking zones for more versatility while preparing dinner. This allows you to cook different foods at varying temperatures. For instance, you may bake dessert up top while roasting sides and entrees below with a Cafe induction double oven range setup.
Steam Oven Ranges
Select Café induction ranges come with built-in steam ovens. Steam ovens provide precision of moist heat, ideal for gently reheating foods without drying them out. They're also great for proofing breads.
Having a steam oven in addition to a traditional convection oven gives you access to multiple cooking modes. You can steam veggies and bake fish or chicken simultaneously for well-rounded meals.
Café Induction Ranges Cooktop Features
What really sets Café induction ranges apart is their advanced induction cooktop technology that caters to ambitious home cooks looking for better quality in their cooking appliances. Let's look at some of the key cooktop features found on GE Café induction ranges.
Powerful Induction Elements
Café induction cooktops use the latest technology to deliver fast, high-powered heating. For instance, the 11" 3,700W induction element can boil a quart of water in just 101 seconds!
Powerful elements provide quick heating along with the instant temperature control induction is known for. Café induction cooktops have multiple cooking zones in various sizes to accommodate anything from small saucepans to oversized stockpots.
Precision Cooking Sensor
Select Café induction ranges come with a precision cooking sensor that automatically maintains your desired pan temperature. Instead of manually adjusting stove temps, the sensor does it for you to keep temperatures steady within 1°F.
The sensor allows you to "set and forget" temperatures for skills like simmering delicate sauces or anything requiring a consistent low temperature over time. It's like having a sous chef managing the stove for you.
Dual Element Syncing
Cooking with extra-large cookware can be frustrating on induction ranges because the pan surface may not heat evenly across single elements. Café solves this by allowing you to combine two 8" elements to create one large 16" heating zone. This provides even coverage for oversized pans and grills, so you don't get annoying hot or cold spots.
Slope-Free Cooktop Surface
Café induction cooktops have a completely flat surface from edge to edge. This prevents spills from running onto your countertops while allowing easy wipe-downs across the entire cooktop.
Café induction ranges also incorporate the latest smart technology for oven control from anywhere.
Key Wi-Fi connectivity features include:
- Gourmet Guided Cooking
- Precision Oven Modes
- In-Oven Cameras
- Remote Monitoring
Café Induction Range Pricing
Café induction ranges come at a range of price points to fit different budgets. Here's an overview of Café induction range pricing ranges from $2,500 to $5,000. Café ranges are competitively priced against other premium brands like Thermador, Miele, and Wolf. Expect to pay 10-20% more than mass-market brands like LG, GE, and Frigidaire. You get what you pay for with professional-style performance, commercial-grade handles and knobs, premium materials like stainless steel and glass, and innovative smart technology.
