Thermador's landmark Sensor Dome cooking technology leads a parade of industry-first, high performance features on its new line of induction cooktops. Since cooking is such a delicate art, high performance is as much about precision as it is power. Thermador Induction can fry with the industry's most powerful heating element, or simmer precisely for long periods of time. Thermador's patented Sensor Dome technology brings the pan to the perfect temperature and utilizes infrared sensor technology to monitor the temperature inside the pan, cycling on and off to maintain the precise temperature. Sensor Dome allows Thermador Induction to simmer without scorching, boil without boiling over, and deep fry without burning.
