What's Cooking?



Everything you need to know about induction cooktops.
If you're a homeowner interested in taking your kitchen to the next level, an induction cooktop may be just what you're looking for.
Induction cooktops represent the latest advancement in cooktop technology. At first glance, many induction cooktops look like electric cooktops, but how they work is vastly different.
Under the surface of the induction cooktop lay magnetic coils. When you turn on the induction cooktop, a frequency passes through the coils and to whatever piece of cookware (pot, pan, etc.) is on the cooktop.
As a result, the cookware (and whatever's in it) heats up, but the actual cooktop and the air around the cookware do not. This makes induction cooktops safer than any other cooktop and also provides numerous other benefits.
The benefits of induction cooktops
Induction cooktops provide homeowners with a slew of benefits:
  • Speed. Induction cooktops will bring water (or other liquids) to a boil about two to four minutes faster than a gas or electric cooktop. Because the heat from the cooktop transfers directly to the cookware, the cookware doesn't lose any heat generated by the cooktop. The result is a heating process that's noticeably faster for virtually every kind of food.


  • Consistency. Induction cooktops transfer heat to cookware to ensure greater consistency than gas or electric cooktops. If you like your eggs just runny enough in the morning but struggle to find the perfect balance daily, an induction cooktop may be the ideal solution.


  • Cleanliness. The biggest benefit of induction cooktops is just how much cleaner they make the cooking process. Anyone who's tried a recipe that involves oil or melted butter knows how hard it is to clean burned bits of food and ingredients off a stovetop.

     Because induction cooktops don't get hot even when generating heat, food or ingredients won't get burned to the cooktop. As a result, any spills or spatters can be wiped off easily. You never have to worry about slaving away over a stained electric cooktop again. You also don't have to take apart the cooktop to clean it, which will be a relief to people who own a gas cooktop.


  • Aesthetics. Induction cooktops benefit from their modernity by looking sleek and new-age. If you're remodeling your home and want to make your kitchen stand out, investing in an induction cooktop is a great way to achieve your goals.
The next big thing
Induction cooktops are the next big thing in kitchen appliances, and it's not hard to see why. From auto-sizing cooktops that detect the cookware placed on them to generating the perfect amount of heat, there are plenty of great induction cooktops to choose from. Remember, induction cooktops do require special metal pans for use.
