If you’re planning on upgrading your cooktop, you may have considered a number of options. Although an induction cooktop may be one of the more costly options, it could be the right choice for your kitchen. A burner-less induction cooktop allows you to place cookware in any area of the cooking surface. This means that you can even use oddly shaped items such as roasting pans or griddles with ease. How it Works Induction cooktops use magnetic fields to create cooking heat, and this type of cooktop intelligently recognizes the position, shape, and size of your cookware to provide heat with no boundaries. Induction cooking offers the responsive temperature control of gas with greater efficiency and safety. This type of cooktop is far safer to use, particularly around children, as the surface remains cool to the touch. A burner-less induction cooktop uses numerous individual induction elements that creates a greater cooking area surface and eliminates the conventional standard elements. It is typically equipped with a touchscreen display that allows you to control cooking times and power settings, providing recognition of the size and shape of your pot or cookware. This means that you can accommodate even large cooking pans to make tasks such as preparing gravy simple and easy. Additional Advantages of Induction Cooktops Induction represents a technological breakthrough. This type of sophisticated cooktop was used in restaurants and is now readily available for home use. Unlike electric and gas, induction uses electromagnetism that provides faster and more controllable heat.
