9 years ago Looks like the oven needs to be separate:
An energy saving induction cooktop (or individual unit) uses a device called a generator for each heating element, in order to generate the electromagnetic field that heats the ferrous cooking vessel. These generators are both bulky and heat-sensitive; if they get too warm, their efficiency drops, and finally they simply stop working. As a result, it is technically challenging to build a full stove range with induction elements, because the extra space required for the generators would result in a lower or smaller oven, and heat from the oven cooking could prevent the induction burners from working at all when the oven is in operation.
