Shop 30" Induction CooktopsHow Do Induction Cooktops Work?
It helps to understand how induction cooktops work before considering various product options and brands.
The main difference between an induction vs electric cooktop is that electric models create a hot surface while induction appliances use electromagnetic currents to heat the pots and pans themselves.
Because induction cooktops use magnets, they also require specific pots and pans. Stainless steel, cast iron, and other metal pans usually work with these cooktops. As a rule of thumb, if a magnet sticks to your cookware, it should be fine.
Switching to an induction cooktop instead of gas, you may experience a learning curve, as these heating elements tend to cook faster. Monitor your dishes to see if you need to adjust the cooking time or heating levels.
