Posted on by

Whirlpool announced they are joining forces with cooktop downdraft specialist BORA to introduce an induction downdraft cooktop line into the North American market. The news, announced on the eve of kitchen industry’s annual trade show in the Las Vegas, marks the first time a major appliance company has targeted an induction downdraft appliance lineup for the US and Canada.

The announcement comes at a time when induction cooking is starting to finally make inroads stateside. America’s love affair with gas cooktops have kept US adoption of the technology lagging behind that of Europe and other regions, but the design appeal, health benefits, and a slow but steady spread of local restrictions around gas cooktops in new build construction (even as some of these restrictions have been overturned) have led to an uptick in adoption of a technology introduced almost a century ago.According to Whirlpool, the new induction downdraft enabled cooktops will be available in the JennAir and KitchenAid brands in North America starting in the second half of 2025

The study, published in the journal PNAS Nexus, focused on tiny airborne nanoparticles that are only 1-3 nanometers in diameter, which is just the right size for reaching certain parts of the respiratory system and spreading to other organs
