Cooking
Faster cooking, precision control, easy clean up—induction ranges transform mealtime
Boil water in just two minutes! Induction cooking is revolutionizing today’s kitchens. Induction works by generating an electromagnetic field that transfers heat to your cookware to cook food quickly. It gives you precise control to increase or decrease temperature instantly and because it heats the pan rather than a burner, it can increase kitchen safety.
Here are more reasons why people are switching to induction:
- It’s efficient. Induction cooking is 10% more efficient than a standard electric cooktop and nearly three times more efficient than gas cooktops. You can find options for full induction ranges and ovens or just cooktops. Induction can also keep your kitchen cooler which can make the space more comfortable in the summer.
- It’s easy to clean. With smooth surfaces versus charred burners or grates to be removed, induction cooktops are easy to clean. Plus, since it heats your cookware and not a burner, in the case of a spill, it’s safe to wipe up right away.
Induction cooktops require certain cookware to conduct the heat, and you might worry you’ll need new pots and pans. But there’s an easy way to find out if your current cookware will work. If a magnet sticks firmly to the bottom of your pan, it will likely work with induction. You can also check the bottom of the pan or packaging for a mark that says it’s induction compatible.
Switching from Gas to Induction
Switching from gas to electric may increase your energy costs by about $31 per year due to current low gas prices.
