Induction Cooktops

The term "cold heat" might seem like an oxymoron, but it's one of the newest and most efficient methods of cooking. Induction cooktops are safe, clean, fast, and perhaps best of all, non-contact. Induction cooktops operate by transferring electric energy through a magnetic field directly to whatever object you might be cooking, while maintaining a cool temperature in the cooktop itself.

They are also significantly safer than gas or electric cookers because of the absence of flame or any other hot element that you might inadvertently come in contact with while cooking. Here are just a few more of the many advantages induction cooktopsoffer:

Flameless cooking - although there is no flame involved in this cooking process, induction cooktops offer all the benefits of the flame, such as quick heating and cooling, without any of the potential hazards involved in gas and electric heating such as burns or fires.

Cool cooking appliance - by using a magnetic field to transfer heat directly to the object you are cooking or heating, actual "heat" is completely eliminated from the appliance itself. This allows the induction cooktop to heat foods faster and more thoroughly. The cooking surface (pan, etc.) is only heated by the reflection of the object (food) that is receiving the energy transfer.

Cooler kitchen - we all know just how much you can raise the temperature in your home simply by using the oven or stovetop to prepare a meal, especially on those hot summer days. With the utter absence of a cooking flame or any other hot element, the excess heat that normally would turn your home into a hot box is eliminated from the equation.

Efficiency - gas and electric heating systems simply cannot compare to induction cooktops in terms of efficiency. Induction cooktops can be up to 85 percent energy-efficient, depending on the particular appliance, making them much more cost-efficient than gas or electric. At their very best, electric appliances operate about 50 percent energy-efficiency, while gas appliances operate at an even lower 40 percent energy-efficiency. So if you're looking to cut down on your energy costs, there's no question that investing in an induction cooktop might be the perfect move for you.
