Professional chef John Horne recently shared his honest take after switching to an induction stovetop. In a video report by CBC News, Horne demonstrated how he cooks a salmon entree along with blanched vegetables and a sauce in record time thanks to his induction stove.
"Canoe is a very, very busy restaurant. It's one of the busiest in Canada by far," Horne says in the video. "We need the firepower and the induction to keep up with the business."
After using both gas and induction stoves in fast-paced cooking environments, Horne notes that induction is "probably 10 times as fast as gas," which is essential for restaurant cooking.
But that high efficiency also makes home cooking more enjoyable. With an induction stove, you'll save time and energy cooking and cleaning in the kitchen. Induction stoves are not only faster than gas stoves in terms of cooking times but are also easier to clean.
What's more, induction stoves keep your household free of harmful pollutants. Unlike gas stoves, induction stoves do not emit any asthma-causing gases into your home, improving your indoor air quality.
