Planning kitchen appliances. How to proceed. Market is not clear

Well, that's a matter of belief now. I don't think we need to discuss personal cooking habits. When I cook a multi-course meal with my wife, it's always tight with 4 burners.

And you don't heat a pressure cooker with 1 kg of potatoes to temperature at level 2.5. And the 32 cm pan also takes a while to reach "operating temperature" even with boost.

You could just as well discuss the necessity of other things. About the necessity of 3 bicycles. Or the motorization of a car. Doesn't everyone have to decide that for themselves? I also don't tell you: Put a sink in the bathroom. When do you really need two? We can just have a brief discussion.

Btw: That reminds me of a nice example: A good friend wants two dishwashers in his new kitchen. It bothers him that the dishes are sitting around when the machine is full. And washing by hand is just prehistoric...

Sorry if I caused a bit of confusion here.

If you have the space for a 90cm hob, then go for it, unfortunately I didn't have it and therefore only had a 60cm hob. It just sounded in your post like 80cm hobs are more expensive than 90cm ones. That's why I used the example with the 80cm Neff, which, in my opinion, is quite affordable. Whether it's Siemens, Bosch, or Neff is more a question of design and operation, since the technology behind it won't differ much. They all come from the same company.

That sounds incredibly modern: After all, you don't waste space on "useless" cabinets. Cabinets with washing function are much more practical.

It's basically like street storage (in the truck). That also costs less than building a warehouse...

And the 32 cm pan also takes a while to reach "operating temperature" even with Boost.

I don't quite understand that point. What does "a while" mean in this context? I never use Boost for pans; they simply get too hot too quickly. Unlike a pot with 10 liters of water, an empty pan has very little heat capacity. Heavy cast iron pans might be the exception, but these can crack if heated too quickly, so I only use levels 7-8 here as well.

Question: Does your cooktop pulse on the Boost level? You can hear and feel that. What is the ratio of on- to off-time? I have used cooktops that pulse heavily when the cooktop is warm. Then, from a nominal 6 kW, for example, only about 4 kW average power remains.

I believe you do not understand clocking. That has little to do with the available performance.

Maybe I am using the wrong word. In my opinion, such an inductor can only operate "digitally", meaning it is either on or off. The energy output per unit time, i.e. average power, can only be controlled through the "time shares" of "on" and "off". As long as the cooktop cannot be continuously "on" 100%, the actual heating power is always less than the rated power.
