New York Times Wirecutter Review: "The Impulse Cooktop is in a category of its own."
The New York Times’s Wirecutter spent time with the Impulse Cooktop in their Long Island City test kitchen this spring. Their verdict: “The Impulse Cooktop is in a category of its own.”
A few of our favorite highlights from the review.
"This baby does indeed get very hot, and very fast. On medium-high heat, a few tablespoons of oil in the bottom of a pan began smoking in two seconds. And I'm rounding up."
"On the Impulse Cooktop's battery-powered boost setting, [4 quarts of water] took just under three minutes. That's so astoundingly fast, I went around the office showing the timer to my colleagues."
"Not only is this cooktop exceedingly powerful, but it's also more precise than most: You can set an element's target temperature down to the degree, and then sensors track and maintain the heat of the pan itself."
"What excites me even more is that this thing is legitimately intuitive to use, unlike the dozens of full-size induction cooktops I've evaluated over the years."
On an electric stove, "it is not easy to char greens," she said, "but this has done it."
"This cooktop makes me excited about what's possible with induction."
"But for now, the Impulse Cooktop is in a category of its own."
