Hi,

Can I test this induction cooker (hob?) without installing it first? I would need to cut a hole in countertop to install, and what if I don't like it? I've been reading a lot about induction vs gas on here, and have become intrigued w/induction. I am interested because of the upper and lower end cooking - simmer and quick boil of water. I am thinking that if I like it, I'd install it next to my Five Star gas cooktop with griddle with which I'm very familiar and can't imagine not getting again. (Haven't started kitchen remodel yet.)

TIA!

Lisa

I don't think any built-in hob is meant to be used without the proper airspaces around it (you can't just put weight on all those circuits and cables underneath it either), but if you do figure out a way, I'd love to know what you think of it. It's really hard to get any info about the Summit cooktops.

Sure. Just put it on the countertop. Don't block any air vents if you see any. Your issue will be getting a pigtail or the correct outlet/plug for it. Some are designed to be directly wired into a box. Or you'll need a plug. It depends on what it is replacing, ie, is it replaceing an electric range or existing electric cooktop? If so, the outlet/box will already be there.

BTW: With only 8 levels this is not the most flexible unit out there.
