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

Such a cooktop operates with "taktung" or pulse width modulation. Even at maximum power, it always pulses. If one zone is set to Boost, the control of the second zone naturally only allows limited power.

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.

Hm, maybe you don’t want to understand me: Of course, the pressure cooker isn’t heated up to 2.5. It’s heated up as fast as possible, if Boost is not available, then simply to 9. But if you start it in a way that you’re doing other things anyway during that time (because you still have 4 pots going), the time difference between Boost and 9 is not noticeable in the total time – or in other words: Boost is nice then, but unnecessary. However, once the heat is there, levels around 2.5 are enough to maintain it. That’s why heating up and keeping hot always works with appropriate planning, even with 5 pots, completely without Boost if necessary.

The larger a menu, the more time gain from induction moves towards zero, which is why Boost no longer plays a significant role. The gain in comfort through larger surface area increases instead. That’s what I meant. 80 (or 90) is clearly more important than power. If both are possible: OK.

And regarding the pan: I have a cast iron pan for steaks and fried potatoes, very heavy. It gets blazing hot in 120 seconds without Boost to get a crust on the steak. One more minute and I produce charcoal.

Unlike a pot with 10 liters of water, an empty pan has little heat capacity. Heavy cast iron pans may be the exception, but these can crack if heated too quickly, so I also only use levels 7-8 here.

That’s the point! A coated Tefal pan is already blazing hot after 60 seconds without Boost. I put cast iron at 9, two minutes double that time is enough. I’m surprised that the OP’s pan “takes a while” even with Boost.

When I read this, I ask myself... how could people cook on a normal ceramic hob or even on classic burners and still get the food on the table the same day

That's a good question!

I don't think it makes sense to interpret a necessity into this. How else would you justify a Team 7 kitchen? A €1200 unit can cook as well.
Cooking is passion. If I had a gas connection, there would probably also be a 2-burner gas hob.

It's okay that you have a different opinion, but I want my 5 burners, and that's that! I don't need a 50" 4K TV for it, and my Opel Corsa is enough for me. Everyone has their own priorities.

Cooking is passion

Exactly that's the point... and the passion, as already said, has nothing to do with whether water boils in 60 seconds or 6 minutes. And I just find the discussion amusing, typical 1st World Problems.

It’s okay that you have a different opinion, but I want my 5 burners and that’s that!

I feel misunderstood... 5 burners is exactly what I’m suggesting because it really adds value. Definitely take those, and on at least an 80 cm stove! I’ve been saying that the whole time.

But 11kW compared to 7.5kW brings nothing in situations where you need that many burners. And if it does, it’s not the stove’s fault. So: 5 burners on an 80 cm stove is a clear YES, 11kW vs. 7.5kW is clearly OPTIONAL, because actually unnecessary.

Well, in a house building forum, except maybe in the OT section, only 1st World Problems are discussed, and even of those, the more upscale version

It’s amusing.
