hi guys this is Brian Bennett for scenic appliances and right now we're taking a first look at the Samsung slide in induction chef collection range with Flex duo oven so what sets this range apart is its induction cooktop it uses induction technology which uses magnetic fields to get the pans hot but the surface of the cooktop remains relatively cool induction offers high performance cooking so you can turn the dial for the burners you will get a pretty quick response in the performance of how hot the burner is or how cold the burner is now outside of the stove making strange noises there's not much going on that you can tell Samsung tries to address this issue by ringing partially the edges of the burners here with LED lights that glow with a blue light that it kind of replicates the look of a blue gas flame and it also looks very handsome I have to say Samsung also includes what it calls a flex duo oven technology essentially it's a divider that goes inside of the oven which is essentially one big cavity but you can actually split the oven into two cooking zones so you can have bacon up top and muffins down below or fish on one part and maybe something that's more delicate on the bottom so it offers a lot of flexibility and control over what you can make in your kitchen now there are drawbacks to the Samsung induction range it's expensive going to cost close to $3,700 that's a lot of cash to drop on a small cooktop it also only has four burners on the top for cook zones on its induction cooktop up here so the Samsung slide in induction chef collection range certainly packs a lot of really nice features in a very compact package that's attractive and easy to use it is very expensive though so you have to bear that in mind you can get other induction ranges of similar size from GE say for five hundred dollars less but it doesn't have some of the other advanced that Samsung offers like the ability to split the oven into two cavities that you can control separately be sure to check out the full review at cnet.com I'm Brian Bennett for CNET appliances
