Is SAMSUNG NE58H9970WS the luxury appliance you need?

These days, when advanced technologies walk into our kitchens more and more, we want to keep up with some of the best developments.

Cooking in a fast, safe way and being able to save energy at the same time is amazing, which is why modern induction ranges and ovens must be a part of our lives.

The SAMSUNG NE58H9970WS is a futuristic induction range that is easy to use, has a superb design and a sturdy construction. If you are looking to buy a new appliance for your kitchen, there is a good chance that this is what you need.

Check out its main features:

1. Controls

It’s simply amazing how Samsung manages to combine modern designs with classical elements such as knobs. This induction range’s control panel is comprised of 4 dials and a touch pad area where several functions and buttons can be found, as well as a large LED display.

The 4 dials are designed to help adjust the power and temperature for each one of the 4 heating elements. Here are the touch panel’s main keys:

As you can easily observe, this induction range comes with plenty of features that can be easily controlled with the simple press of a button.

2. Surface

The induction cooktop’s surface is made of ceramic material which is highly sensitive. This surface can only be used with induction-compatible cookware such as stainless steel, cast iron and enameled steel. Under any circumstances, users should not use glass, ceramic or porcelain cookware, nor aluminum, copper or brass.

The entire ceramic surface is very easy to clean; however, it should be cleaned only when the temperature is low enough.

The surface will only work properly when flat bottomed cookware is being used. Moreover, it is specifically recommended to avoid using pans and pots that have damaged bottoms.

When cleaning the surface, all products that contain ammonia or abrasive powders should be avoided.

3. Heating Elements

There are 4 cooking zones with different sizes. Each is controlled by a dial that has the following functions:

• Off
• High/Boost
• Low
• Simmer
• Medium
• Power increments

The Power Boost function can be used with all heating elements.

Users should take into consideration each cooking zone’s size before choosing what cookware they will be using. The minimum recommended diameter of the cookware’s bottom is 5.2 inches for the front and rear left elements, 4.5 inches for the rear center element and 7.25 inches for the largest element in the front of the cooktop.

The actual sizes of the elements are:
• 6 inches
• 7 inches
• 11 inches

While using the heating elements, some normal operating noises can be heard such as cracking noises, whistling, humming, buzzing or clicking.

4. Power/Watts

The induction cooktop’s configuration is ideal for all types of cookware and recipes. The right front and the left rear elements can use a maximum power of 1800 W, the left front element can use a maximum of 2300 W and 3300 W when Power Boost is enabled, while the right rear can use a maximum of 1200 W and 2000 W when Power Boost is active.

There are 9 power levels for each cooking zone. The first and lowest power level is recommended for warming, the second for simmering and the levels from 3 to 9 for cooking.

The levels 4 and 6 are usually great for frying, stewing and boiling. The levels 6 to 8 are also recommended for this type of cooking in case faster cooking is required. The levels 8 and 9 are recommended for intensive frying and boiling.

5. Oven

The SAMSUNG NE58H9970WS comes with a 5.8 cubic feet oven capacity and a convection system that can bake foods using 175 to 550 degrees Fahrenheit.

Its stainless steel design with a Flex Duo cavity, halogen lighting and guiding light controls are the main reasons why buyers prefer it at the first glance. The oven is divided into two areas: the upper oven and the lower oven.

The upper oven has a 2.4 cubic feet capacity, while the lower has a 3.3 cubic feet capacity.
Users can use it for broiling at a maximum temperature of 450 degrees Fahrenheit and for baking and roasting at a maximum of 550 degrees Fahrenheit.

The great thing about this oven is that it has steam-clean features. Users can use this function to clean the oven with steam in less than 20 minutes. Also, the self-clean function is available for 2, 3 or 5-hour cleaning.

There is a warming drawer that is practical and often required these days, 7 rack positions, 3 included racks, 1 gliding rack and 1 wire rack.

The first rack position is recommended for large roasts, the second is recommended for cakes and small roasts, the third is recommended for pound cakes and the fourth for muffins, cookies and biscuits.

The Delay Start function, the timer, the custom cook functions and the Sabbath Mode are amazing features that give users flexibility, freedom and the opportunity to save energy.

The oven is easy to use and control thanks to its advanced control panel and customizable preferences.

6. Sensors

The induction cooktop is equipped with internal sensors that help avoid overheating, food burning and hazards.

There are safety sensors that shut-off the unit when the cookware is incompatible, high or low voltage is detected or when the cooktop is not being used for more than 30 seconds.

Also, there are temperature sensors that detect preferred temperatures and switch levels or help shut-down the unit when the time is off.

The oven is equipped with sensors, too. The error E-21 displays when the oven is open, for example.

7. Ventilation

This induction range has its own ventilation system that manages to prevent overheating. However, it is recommended to use a ventilation hood and to place the unit in a well-ventilated room.

8. Safety Features

Samsung has built this unit with the user’s safety in mind. Therefore, each element of the induction cooktop has a heat indicator that informs the user that the area is still hot. This way, burns can be easily avoided.

The temperature detection function is also a safety feature that has been included to reduce the heat of a cooking zone to a lower level whenever it exceeds the desired level.

The only visible safety feature of this cooktop is its control lock option that can be enabled to prevent the access of children to the unit’s settings.

9. Accessories

The induction range comes with a few accessories that are required for proper use and functioning of the unit. The box incudes a wire rack, a gliding rack and a recessed rack. Also, buyers will find a partition and a temperature probe accessory.

All the accessories must be removed during the cleaning process, regardless if it’s a steam clean feature or a self-clean one.

10. Dimensions

The 30-inch induction cooktop is actually a 29.8-inch one. The unit’s outside dimensions are 2913/16″ x 36-371/8″ (Adjustable) x 265/16″. The shipping dimensions are 331/32″ x 413/4″ x 309/32″. The total weight of the induction range is 231.5 Ibs, while its shipping weight is 255.7 Ibs.

This induction range fits in the expensive products’ category. At slightly above this price, this range induction cooktop that is equipped with the Virtual Flame Technology and a dual oven makes it worth the money. However, there are a few things that could be improved in such an expensive unit.
