How do you wash you Viking grates? If you have a large grate, it’s too big to fit in the dishwasher and difficult to handle over the sink. Many upscale gas ranges have griddles. I can imagine the splattering from cooking a steak on it.
Induction cooktop can be adjusted temperature wise almost instantly. They also heat faster than gas. But induction ranges are not very popular in USA. Hardly any choices, especially in the low to mid price points.[/quote]
We’ve had friends with induction, maybe we weren’t watching close enough but we didn’t see much difference in performance between that and electric…we had electric for many years in apts. Good luck talking my wife into anything but gas.
We don’t clean the Viking grates on a day to day basis – we leave that for the house cleaners every 2 weeks. They look new when they get done with them, but I’m not sure how they clean them. They are certainly big and heavy. Very industrial looking.
