The Guide to Monogram Induction Technology

Close view of a Monogram induction cooktop

Induction cooking may feel like the future, but it’s actually rooted in science that’s both elegant and simple. Unlike traditional electric or gas ranges, induction cooktops use electromagnetic energy to heat the cookware directly, without ever warming the cooktop surface itself.

Here’s how it works: A coil beneath the glass surface generates a magnetic field when it detects compatible cookware (like stainless steel or cast iron). This magnetic energy is transferred directly to the pan, bypassing the surface and heating the contents quickly and efficiently. The result? Faster cooking times, immediate temperature control, and a surface that stays relatively cool to the touch.

What makes Monogram induction technology stand out is how seamlessly it integrates this advanced science into an appliance that looks and feels luxurious. From intuitive glide-touch controls to multi-burner sync capabilities, a Monogram induction cooktop is built to deliver precise results without the learning curve often associated with new technology.

With Monogram, you don’t just get induction—you get an experience that blends top-tier performance with timeless design.

Monogram Induction Options

Monogram induction ranges and cooktops are available in two versatile sizes—30-inch and 36-inch—to accommodate a variety of kitchen layouts and cooking needs. The 30-inch models feature four burners, while the larger 36-inch options include five burners for even more flexibility and cooking power.

Both sizes are available in sleek black or silver finishes to match your design aesthetic. You can also choose from Monogram’s signature design collections: EcoBalance, which emphasizes sustainability and performance; Minimalist, which offers clean lines and a modern, understated look; and Statement, which blends bold accents and professional styling for a timeless, upscale presence in the kitchen.

Monogram Induction Top Features

If you’re considering Monogram for your next induction cooktop or range, here are a few standout features that truly set them apart:

1. Glide Touch Controls

Monogram’s Glide Touch Controls allow you to adjust heat with a simple swipe of your finger, and you can choose from 19 different heat settings. Forget the clunky knobs—this modern interface is both stylish and intuitive, letting you fine-tune the temperature instantly. It gives you the kind of control professional chefs rely on, without cluttering your countertop with buttons or switches. All it takes is one easy swipe.

These controls also include a lock feature, which helps prevent unintended adjustments or activation—a huge plus for households with kids or for multitasking chefs.

2. Precision Cooking with Smart Pan Detection

One of the most innovative aspects of Monogram induction technology is its ability to detect the size and shape of your cookware automatically. Once a compatible pan is placed on the surface, the cooktop activates the precise area needed—ensuring energy is used efficiently and safely.

Paired with Precision Temperature Control, this feature allows you to hold sauces at just the right simmer or sear meats to perfection with consistent heat. Monogram even offers induction ranges that pair with smart pans and temperature sensors to eliminate guesswork altogether.

3. Flush-Mount Design and Sleek Glass Finish

Monogram cooktops don’t just perform well—they look stunning in any modern kitchen. The smooth, ceramic glass surface is built to be flush-mounted for a minimalist, built-in look. And because the surface doesn’t get as hot as traditional ranges, it’s easier to clean—just a simple wipe with a damp cloth is often all you need.

This clean, refined aesthetic makes Monogram an ideal choice for high-end kitchens where design is just as important as functionality. And with options to match your cabinetry and decor, these appliances blend in as seamlessly as they cook.

Monogram Induction FAQ

To turn on a Monogram induction cooktop, press the power icon on the Glide Touch Control panel. Then, select the burner you wish to use by tapping the corresponding circle, and slide your finger along the temperature scale to adjust heat. If no cookware is detected, the cooktop won’t activate, so make sure to use induction-compatible pans.

Using a Monogram induction cooktop is intuitive and efficient. Start by placing induction-compatible cookware (like stainless steel or cast iron) on the surface. Once detected, select your burner and use the touch controls to set the desired temperature. Because the surface doesn’t heat up unless cookware is present, it’s safer and faster than gas or electric options.
