Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes this cooktop “smart”?

A: You can connect it to the app via Wi‑Fi, allowing for remote control, guided recipes, and the ability to adjust temperatures or turn off zones from your phone.

Q: Can I use voice commands to control it?

A: Yes — it supports Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for hands‑free operation.

Q: How does temperature‑controlled cooking work?

A: Built-in sensors let you set a target temperature (from 120°F to 400°F), and the cooktop adjusts in real time to maintain that exact temperature.

Q: What are “Flex‑Choice™ Zones”?

A: These are two rectangular induction zones on the left side that can operate independently or be bridged into a single large zone, ideal for griddles or large cookware.

Q: Is the cooktop easy to install?

A: Yes — it supports true flush installation, where the surface sits level with the countertop.

Q: Does the cooktop detect when I remove a pan?

A: Yes — it has automatic pan detection, so an element only activates when suitable (magnetic) cookware is present and powers off when the cookware is removed.

Pros and Cons of JennAir JICT724SB 24 inch Oblivion Smart Induction Cooktop

Pros

• Precise Temperature Control: Uses induction technology for immediate, accurate temperature adjustments. The JICT724SB features Temperature-Controlled Cooking, with sensors maintaining exact temperatures from 120°F to 400°F.
• Speed and Efficiency: Directly heats cookware through magnetism, minimizing wasted heat and cooking faster. The “Power Boost” function brings water to a boil quickly and improves overall energy efficiency.
• Safety Features: Includes automatic pan detection, a control lock, residual heat indicators, and an auto turn-off feature. With no open flame, the risk of burns is reduced.
• Ease of Cleaning: Smooth glass surface stays cooler than traditional cooktops, making spills easy to wipe away without baking on.
• Smart Features: Compatible with the JennAir App, Google Assistant, and Alexa for remote and voice control. Offers guided recipes and cooking modes like Sauté, Simmer, and Smart Boil.
• Flexible Installation/Design: True flush installation creates a seamless look. Flex-Choice™ Zones can operate as separate elements or combine into one large zone for griddles or oversized cookware.

Cons

• Cookware Compatibility: Only magnetic cookware works, so aluminum, copper, or glass cookware without a magnetic base will not function.
• Higher Initial Cost: Induction cooktops generally have a higher upfront cost compared to gas or traditional electric units.
• Vulnerability to Scratches: The glass surface can scratch if cookware is dragged or heavy cast iron is used carelessly.
• Repair Costs: Repairs can be expensive due to the advanced induction technology if a component fails.
• Power Dependency: Fully reliant on electricity, so it cannot operate during a power outage.

Conclusion

The JennAir JICT724SB Oblivion Smart Induction Cooktop is a premium appliance delivering precise temperature control, fast cooking, and advanced safety features. Its smart connectivity, guided cooking, and flexible design add convenience and style to modern kitchens. Buyers should consider the higher cost and the need for compatible magnetic cookware, but for those seeking efficiency, control, and a sleek, safe cooking environment, the JICT724SB is an excellent choice.
