Why Choose an Induction Cooktop: Top Features and Benefits

When I remodeled my kitchen almost 8 year ago now, I was very interested in learning more about induction cooktops. Popular in Europe for decades, this method of cooking is gaining momentum in the United States and our clients that have purchased induction say they will never go back to gas. Here are my favorite features of an induction cooktop. 

Easy to Clean: A Major Benefit of Induction Cooktops

• Easy to Clean: This is definitely top of the list for me. The smooth, flat surface of an induction wipes up like a gem. Spills and splatters don’t get baked onto the surface, as they might on gas burners. Cleaning is as simple as wiping down the surface with a damp cloth. Occasionally if a little film develops, I clean it with Cerama Bryte and it’s as good as new.

Induction Cooktops: Speed and Efficiency in the Kitchen

• Speed and Efficiency: Induction cooktops heat up much faster than traditional gas or electric stovetops. They transfer heat directly to the cookware, so there is minimal heat loss. This results in quicker cooking times and energy efficiency.

Why Induction Cooktops Are Safer Than Gas

• Safety: Induction cooktops are known for their safety features. Since they heat the cookware directly, the surface remains relatively cool to the touch, reducing the risk of burns. Additionally, they often have features like auto-shutoff and pan detection, which enhances safety.

Energy Efficiency: How Induction Saves You Money

• Energy Efficiency: Induction cooktops are highly energy-efficient, as they only heat the cookware and not the surrounding area. This can result in lower energy bills and a reduced environmental footprint. In addition they are powered by electricity and with our new solar panels we aren’t paying to cook.
