Viking introduces the NEW 30″ wide Professional Custom Electric Induction Range


Viking is extremely excited about the addition of the new and one-of-a-kind ultra-premium electric induction 30”W. range. This range couples the innovative technology of induction power with the professional performance of a Viking range. It has all the great features implemented into previously released Viking induction products including MagneQuick™ induction power generators, the power management induction system, and a wide array of surface elements with varying power wattages. Induction technology is extremely efficient and continues to grow as consumers search to make their contributions to energy conservation. Viking will continue to explore pioneering technologies such as this new range in order to meet the new demands in the marketplace.

There are many advantages to owning an induction powered cooking surface:
• Magnetic induction causes the utensil to become the heat source and not the cooking surface itself. It does not heat the air around the utensil the way conventional heat sources do – so the kitchen stays cooler.
• Because the utensil is heated and not the cooking surface, induction units provide safety benefits. Accidental burns from an exposed element being left on inadvertently are eliminated.
• Heats much faster and 90% more efficiently than a standard electric coil. Induction units can boil water twice as fast as a conventional electric coil of the same power, thereby using half the energy.
• Excellent control – heating levels adjust easily and quickly. You have the precision control of gas with the energy efficiency of induction.
• The ceramic top is easy to clean and keep sanitary.
