The ThermadorCIT36YWB Freedom® induction cooktop is designed for home chefs who want professional performance, intuitive control, and a sleek contemporary centerpiece for their kitchen. With a generous 36" width, this cooktop offers one of the largest fully usable induction surfaces in its class, allowing you to place up to six pots or pans anywhere on the dark gray glass surface without being confined to traditional fixed burners. Beneath the smooth top, a dense array of induction elements works with automatic cookware detection to recognize the size, shape, and position of your pans, delivering heat exactly where you need it and making cleanup as simple as wiping a flat glass surface.
A standout advantage of the CIT36YWB is its Freedom® full-surface technology combined with the innovative TeppanyakiPro® function, which divides a compatible teppanyaki grill plate into heated and non-heated zones so you can quickly move ingredients on and off the heat without changing settings. This is ideal for searing proteins while keeping vegetables warm, or staging components of a dish as you cook. MoveMode® further elevates flexibility by automatically transferring your selected power level when you slide a pot to a new position, while MyZone® lets you change to a preset power level simply by shifting cookware up, down, or diagonally on the surface. These smart movement-based features are rare in standard induction cooktops and give you a fluid, restaurant-style workflow at home.
Control is handled through a vibrant TFT touchscreen display that makes it easy to select from 17 precise power levels, activate PowerBoost® or PanBoost® for rapid heating, and fine-tune temperatures for delicate sauces or high-heat searing. Sapphire Glow® LED indicators along the sides of the cooktop provide visual feedback on cookware position and active heating zones, enhancing both safety and style. Built-in Home Connect® WiFi enables remote monitoring, access to compatible recipes, and even cooktop–hood synchronization in supported kitchen setups, adding a layer of convenience and personalization that many competing models lack. With its stainless steel frame, dark gray glass surface, and powerful yet efficient induction performance, the ThermadorCIT36YWB delivers a premium blend of design, technology, and cooking freedom tailored to serious home cooks and modern kitchens alike.
