30 inch cooktop - Miele 7730FR, Bosch Benchmark, or GE Mongram (or Cafe)
Hi all. We're remodeling our kitchen and want to switch from gas to an induction cooktop. We are leaning towards the Miele because the burner layout is much better - largest burner is closest to the front. Wife is short and doesn't want to have to reach to the back.
I can't find more than a handful of reviews on the Miele. Thought about the Bosch because of the flex burners being in the front but after reading about them, it appears they're going to be small in terms of actual use for a 9 inch frying pan. GE looks good as well but its largest burner is set a bit further back than the Miele.
However, I have no idea on actual coil size on the Miele or any of the other models for that matter. I've seen comments about how your pan will have cold spots if the underlying burner is smaller than the pan and I've seen other comments or articles that take the opposite view. I certainly have to move meat around in my current frying pan when using a gas burner since the flames don't cover the entire pan bottom. Am I overthinking the coil sizes (I've been looking at the burner sizes - both Miele and GE have an 11 inch burner which I assumed would work well on a 9 inch frying pan).
I appreciate all thoughts and input as we've been using gas for 31 years.
