Abstract
A method of operating a cooktop appliance in a sauce reduction mode includes operating a heating element of the cooktop appliance at a first power level during a preheat stage and operating the heating element at a second power level during a reduction stage after the preheat stage. The second power level is different from the first power level. The method further includes determining that the reduction stage has ended and decreasing the power level of the heating element because the reduction stage has ended. The method also includes providing a user notification that the sauce reduction mode is complete.
