Top Thermador Induction Cooktops to Consider This Season
Why Trust Us?
The holidays are a time for joy, family, and, of course, great food.
Whether you’re cooking a quiet Christmas morning breakfast or hosting a New Year’s Day brunch for a dozen hungry guests, having the right appliances can make all the difference.
That’s why we’re proud to offer Thermador induction cooktops, a top-tier solution for multitasking, elegant kitchens, and flawless meals.
Induction cooking uses magnetic heat transfer to directly heat your cookware rather than the cooktop surface. The result?
Faster heat-up times, more precise temperature control, and safer, cooler surfaces—all of which are essential when you're trying to pull off multiple dishes at once.
From simmering hot chocolate to perfectly frying eggs while warming pastries, Thermador cooktop empowers you to create flawless meals with ease, even when time is short.
Why choose Thermador for your holiday cooking? Let’s explore what sets induction apart and why it’s the perfect fit for your next festive gathering.
What Sets Thermador Induction Cooktops Apart
Thermador is a name synonymous with luxury and performance, and their induction cooktops are no exception.
What sets Thermador apart is how the brand blends elegant design with tech-forward innovation. With sleek, frameless finishes and intuitive touch controls, these luxury kitchen appliances are a seamless fit in any high-end kitchen.
Here are a few of the best induction cooktop Thermador features:
FlexInduction Zones
Thermador’s FlexInduction technology allows you to place pots and pans anywhere within a cooking zone, and the cooktop automatically detects their size and position. This gives you total freedom with cookware and makes it easy to use griddles or large pans—perfect for French toast or breakfast quesadillas.
PowerBoost
Need to bring water to a boil for eggs or pasta in record time? PowerBoost delivers an intense surge of heat, reducing boil times dramatically. It’s your go-to feature when you’re cooking under pressure (and maybe still in your pajamas).
Sleek, Seamless Design
Thermador induction cooktops feature frameless black glass, giving them a modern, elegant look that pairs beautifully with any countertop material. Touch controls are intuitive and easy to clean. Plus, they make your space feel more like a chef’s kitchen and less like a cluttered workspace.
Home Connect Smart Integration
With Thermador’s Home Connect platform, you can control your cooktop from your smartphone or tablet. Start heating a zone while setting the table, check cooking status while chatting with guests, or get helpful tips and recipes.
Thermador backs all of this with proven durability and a reputation for precision engineering, making their induction cooktops a wise long-term investment.

This is the go-to size for most households, striking a balance between space and versatility. With five cooking zones—including FlexInduction—you can fry, boil, poach, and simmer at the same time. It’s the perfect choice for brunches with multiple hot dishes, from pancakes and sausage to roasted root veggies and quiche.
48-Inch Professional Models

You can cook a dozen pancakes, simmer gravy, and crisp bacon simultaneously—all while keeping a pot of cider warm. This is the best Thermador cooktop for home chefs and avid entertainers.
The larger the size, the more power options, cooking zones, and flexibility you’ll enjoy, ensuring your brunch prep runs as smoothly as the mimosas you’re pouring.
