Unveiled at KBIS 2025, Advanced New 36-inch Induction-Steam Range Delivers Professional-Grade Performance, Culinary Precision and Energy Efficiency
LAS VEGAS, Feb. 25, 2025 -- SKS, the kitchen appliance brand recognized for driving innovation in built-in luxury segment, is bringing steam functionality to a 36-inch Pro Induction Range, the first to combine the industry's most powerful induction cooktop and a 6.3- cubic-foot steam-combi oven powered by SKS' exclusive steam element technology.*
At the 2025 Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS), which opens today, induction cooking is will be in the spotlight as one of the fastest-growing home appliance categories in the United States, gaining momentum thanks to its precision, efficiency and safety. In fact, according to the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers, U.S. shipments of induction ranges in 2024 increased by 37 percent from the previous year.
With near-instant heat, precise temperature control and a cooler kitchen environment, induction technology is reshaping how home chefs cook. Building on its pioneering role as the first luxury brand to offer ENERGY STAR® certified induction cooktops and ranges, SKS is now expanding its induction portfolio with professional performance and flexible options for today's modern home chef.
Sharon Sherman, SKS Design Collective member and Founder/Owner of Thyme and Place Design, said, "As the luxury segment continues to evolve, induction is proving itself to be the future of high-end kitchen design. Homeowners are looking for kitchen solutions that offer efficiency, precision, and safety – all without compromising style and performance. The ability to bring a large pot of water to a boil in mere minutes or maintain a delicate simmer with precision is something today's avid home chefs love. Beyond performance, the sleek glass surface of an induction range is incredibly easy to clean—perfect for busy households that value both ease of function and outstanding aesthetics."
The SKS 36-inch Pro Induction Range delivers power, precision and smart design to the kitchen. With 7,000 watts of power, the 11-inch dual center element is the most powerful available and can boil one quart of water in as little as a minute. With two Flex Cooking Zones offering 3,700 watts of power, this range allows for advanced professional flexibility and adaptability to various cookware sizes. From a small pan to a large griddle, each zone combines elements to accommodate different sizes and shapes of cookware.
The 6.3-cubic-foot steam-combi oven combines steam and convection cooking for remarkable performance. The ProHeat™ Convection System ensures even heat distribution for gourmet results, and steam cooking methods retain moisture and enhance texture and flavor. The spacious capacity eliminates the need for additional countertop appliances. Homeowners will also benefit from a 4.3-inch LCD touchscreen that offers quick access to 13 cooking modes, including gourmet steam, air fry, and steam sous vide. The exclusive Auto Cook feature allows users to select from various meal options and walks them through each step in the cooking process, making it simpler than ever to achieve gourmet results. The range's sleek design easily integrates the SKS Transitional Series for modern and contemporary spaces. (See separate news release.)
SKS's trademark Smart Knobs™ provide intuitive control with an illuminated display showing heat level, temperature, and time remaining and are easily visible from across the room. Each knob also functions as an individual timer, making meal prep seamless. The stainless-steel body, pro handle, and large oven window elevate form and function. Cleanup is just as effortless with Speed Clean,™ which refreshes a lightly soiled oven with a 10-minute cycle using only water.
"SKS has always prioritized efficiency with its hybrid suite of induction cooking appliances," said SKS Vice President Randy Warner. "From the launch of our flagship pro range – featuring induction, gas and the first-ever built-in sous vide – to introducing this high performance 36-inch induction pro range, SKS is reinforcing its commitment to delivering leading-edge solutions for the modern home chef."
Warner added, "This product introduction underscores SKS' commitment to sustainable innovation, providing today's Technicurean™ home chefs with smart kitchen advancements that not only elevate their culinary experience but also contribute to a more energy-efficient environment."
