Induction

Pans

Suitable pans include:

stainless steel pans with a magnetic base

enamelled steel pans

cast iron pans

Unsuitable pans:

stainless steel pans without a magnetic base

aluminium and copper pans

glass, ceramic or earthenware pots and pans

To test whether a pot or pan is suitable for use on an induction hob, hold a magnet to the base of the pan. If the magnet sticks, the pan is suitable.

Please be aware that the properties of the pan base can affect the eveness with which food heats up in the pan.

Unless the pan manufacturer states that you can do so, do not use pans with very thin bases on this hob, and never heat up empty pans as they could get damaged. This could also damage the appliance.

Pan size

To make optimum use of the cooking zones, choose pans with diameters larger than the innermost markings but smaller than the outermost markings. If the diameter of the pan is smaller than the innermost marking, the induction heating will not work. The zone will behave as if it had no pan on it.

Please note that the maximum diameter quoted by manufacturers often refers to the diameter of the top rim of the pot or pan. The diameter of the base (generally smaller) is more important.

Tips on saving energy

Use a pan lid whenever possible to minimise heat loss.

KM5773 specifications

The Miele KM5773 is a premium induction cooktop that embodies the brand's commitment to quality, innovation, and user-centric design. As one of Miele’s flagship models, the KM5773 combines advanced cooking technologies with a sleek aesthetic, making it a popular choice for both culinary enthusiasts and professional chefs.

One of the standout features of the KM5773 is its induction cooking technology. Induction cooktops use electromagnetic fields to heat pans directly, allowing for precise temperature control and rapid heating. This results in faster cooking times and increased energy efficiency compared to traditional gas or electric burners. With the KM5773, users can enjoy immediate response to temperature adjustments, which provides more control when cooking delicate dishes or searing meats.

The cooktop is equipped with four induction zones of varying sizes, designed to accommodate different pot and pan dimensions. The Flex Zone feature enables users to combine two cooking zones into one larger cooking area, ideal for using oversized cookware or multiple pots simultaneously. This flexibility enhances the user experience and maximizes the versatility of the cooktop.

The KM5773 also includes advanced safety features such as a residual heat indicator, which alerts users when the surface is still hot, and a child lock function that prevents accidental activation. These features not only provide peace of mind but also ensure a safe cooking environment for families.

Another impressive characteristic of the Miele KM5773 is its intuitive touch control interface. The sleek, minimalistic design is complemented by an easy-to-use control panel, allowing for seamless adjustment of settings and timer functions. Users can easily set cooking times, adjust power levels, and switch between different cooking zones with a simple touch.

Additionally, the KM5773 features Miele’s innovative CleanCover design, which ensures that the cooktop remains easy to clean. The smooth glass surface is resistant to scratches and stains, while the absence of protruding elements reduces food buildup, facilitating quick wipe-down after cooking.

In summary, the Miele KM5773 induction cooktop showcases cutting-edge technology, versatile cooking options, and user-friendly features. Its efficient performance, safety attributes, and elegant design make it an excellent addition to any modern kitchen, elevating the cooking experience for everyone from home cooks to culinary professionals. Miele continues to set the standard for quality appliances, and the KM5773 is a testament to their dedication to excellence in cooking technology.
