CR's Take
The Bosch 800 Series NIT8060UC 30-inch induction cooktop has 4 elements as well as touch controls and a child lock. This model has a glass ceramic surface. High heat is helpful for quickly boiling water or if you do a lot of searing or stir-frying. This model earns top marks in our high heat test. Low heat is helpful if you like making sauces, melting chocolate, or cooking other foods that can burn easily. This model earns top marks in our low heat test. This cooktop comes with 4 elements in total, including 4 high-power elements. Two of the elements are large-sized elements. It's important to note that an induction cooktop requires cast iron, enameled cast iron, magnetic stainless steel, or cookware with a magnetic layer. This cooktop requires a cutout space of 3.75" height x 20" depth x 29.313" width.About Consumer Reports
