Questions and Answers for GE Profile 36 in. Induction Electric Cooktop in Black Stainless Steel with 5-Elements and Exact Fit

A:  Yes you need stainless steel or specific induction cookware. I use both on mine with great results.

A:  Hi there, Jay - This is such a great question! Yes, in order to create the magnetic field and heat the cooktop, the bottom of the cookware must have some iron content. The best way to determine whether a pan will work is with a magnet. If the magnet sticks to the bottom, the cookware will work on an induction cooktop. We hope this helps. Thanks so much for checking! -Mikayla@GEA

A:  There are options for black with no stainless steel and 5 elements. Just pull up the Home Depot website and look around. If you notice the picture, the rings on this cooktop are pure black with the stainless steel worked into the body, which just changes the color to a different shade of black, hides fingerprints well and doesn't show streaks as easily as the pure black glass will. Just something to consider. It's really a very attractive cooktop.

A:  Hi Rhonda - Thanks for viewing GE Profile PHP9036BMTS! This cooktop is an Induction, Ceramic Glass cooktop with a Black Stainless Patterned Surface. The PHP9036BMTS is not coated with a fingerprint resistant finish. However, the Black Stainless Patterned Surface does help to reduce the appearance of fingerprints on the cooktop surface. We'd love to have you in the family. Keep in touch at GEAppliances.com. Sue

A:  Yes it is, and it says that in the complete description of the cooktop. Best cooktop I've ever owned.

A:  You cannot, the counter top and cabinet front would have to be replaced. Mike

A:  Hi Lindsey - Thanks for considering GE Profile Model # PHP9036BMTS! The cooktop does not have black stainless trim. The cooktop has a "brushed" look to coordinate with other black stainless appliances that are "brushed" metal. It is not "flat" black like model PHP9036DJBB. We suggest to click on the photo and enlarge for a better view. We’d love to have you in the family. Keep in touch at GEAppliances.com. Sue

A:  No stainless steel rim. The stainless steel is kinda woven into the body of the cooktop. If you notice the picture, the rings are a pure black glass, the body is a slightly different shade and that's due to the stainless steel I guess. Anyway, it's beautiful in person, and fun to cook on. It's like cooking on a gas stove.
