I went over to my neighbor's last night, after I saw the earlier posts, taking my Thermoworks IR thermometer.
She got an induction stovetop in February after her old stovetop died.
Hers has the "Melt" function. Is a Samsung 5 burner (she got a great deal buying the Samsung stovetop, dishwasher and a Samsung fridge at an amazing discount of 40% off for buying all three at the same time).
It has a "single burner Melt function" and after being turned on to the first click, "Low", a magnetic pan placed on it reaches a top temp of 110°F.
The second click produces an "S" (Simmer) 150°F. MAXIMUM for that burner.
All the other burners have a minimum temperature of 210°F Three have maximum temps of 420°F
And the big burner has a maximum temp of 550° for "searing" ...
I did all the testing with her Tramontina stovetop cookware - she got a 9-piece set free for buying the appliances at Pacific Sales. (plus a couple of the anti-fatigue mats, a set of utensils and other goodies.
The instruction book says the MELT functions is for chocolate.
