Not every household can rewire for induction, and some have drawers full of aluminum and copper pans. For them Bosch built the NEM5066UC, a 500 Series radiant electric cooktop for a 30 inch cutout with 31 inch black ceramic glass, which accepts any flat-based cookware.
Radiant electric is the cheapest way to get a flush ceramic cooktop. It asks for one habit above all others, which is cleaning promptly. Because the surface stays hot for so long, anything that is left there keeps cooking, and spills bake on well after a zone is switched off.
Apart from that, an element can fail open and leave a zone dead, and the touch controls may not register when the panel is wet. At a visit we dry and test the panel, check elements one at a time, and quote a price in writing before ordering anything.
Right away is best, because the glass holds heat for a long time and keeps cooking whatever is on it. Use a scraper while it is warm, and wait for the indicator before wiping.
Not on this one. The glass heats the pan, so aluminum, copper and other metals all work. Flat bottoms give the best contact. Pans that are warped or dished can still heat poorly, so check the base too.
Yes, a wet panel often prevents touch controls from registering. Dry it with a soft cloth and try again. If it still fails when dry, the control needs a look.
