Induction is the biggest trend in cooking tech since sliced bread, with everyday cooks and professional chefs alike switching to this innovative solution. That's because induction stoves and cooktops are faster, safer, more efficient, and better for indoor air quality than gas stoves.
(Plus, you may be eligible for tax incentives and rebates.)
In fact, induction cooktops can boil water three times faster than gas stoves can — sending up to 90% of their energy directly to your food, versus 70% from electric stoves and only 38% from gas. Faster cooking times means less energy used, lower utility bills, and a happier planet.
