A Hybrid cooktop is a combination of radiant and induction cooktops built into one unit.
Electrolux is one of the major produces of hybrid cooktops in the world today. I believe many people buy hybrids because they fear that if they go all induction they might not like it, so they have radiant burners to fall back on just in case.
The 2 most common sizes for residential cooktops is 30 inch and 36 inch and Electrolux makes both sizes.
The 30" induction hybrid cooktop comes with 6" and 10" induction elements. You can boil water in just 90 seconds with this powerful 3200 watts stovetop. You can even program the 25 preset one touch button setting for instant cooking.
If you trade your old gas cooktop for all induction then you are looking at saving up to 70% on your cooking energy bill or 20% savings if you convert from electric element to induction.
Considering how long an average cooktop lasts, the energy savings potential is huge especially if you cook a lot. If you live in a hot climate and hate the fact that your present cooktop heats up the whole place when your whipping up dinner then this is a perfect replacement.
Since there is no residual heat thrown off by this stovetop your living quarters will remain much cooler. Not only will you save money on your cooking energy but also save on your cooling costs.
As a fanatic about saving time, money & energy I swear by these cookers. If you are thinking about buying a hybrid then that's fine but I prefer a 100% Induction to a hybrid any day of the week.
