If you currently use a gas or electric cooktop, you might not realize how different induction cooking is compared to your current experience. There are several benefits of upgrading to induction models, especially if you have a passion for cooking. Here are a few key reasons to consider:
-
Faster Cooking Times: Induction cooking heats pans and boils water much faster, often cooking food in half the time of gas or electric ranges, meaning you’ll spend less time waiting and more time enjoying your meals.
-
Energy Efficiency: Induction uses less energy by cooking more quickly and wasting less heat. Lower cook times translate into lower energy bills, making induction both environmentally and wallet-friendly.
-
Enhanced Safety: Induction cooktops only heat when in contact with magnetic cookware, so the cooking surface stays cool to the touch. This added safety feature is perfect for households with young children or curious pets.
-
Easy Clean-Up: No more dealing with heavy grates or hidden nooks. Induction cooktops offer a smooth, flat surface that makes wiping away spills and splatters quick and easy.
-
Added Home Value: Induction ranges appeal to homebuyers, especially those who love to cook. An induction cooktop can be a valuable selling point, adding modern appeal and functionality to your kitchen.
As you can see, investing in a 36-inch induction range can help your short-term enjoyment with faster cooking speeds while contributing to the long-term value of your home. You will enjoy having this system in your house daily.

Tips When Cooking With an Induction Range
Adjusting to an induction range, especially if it's your first time using a 36-inch model, may take a little practice. Before hosting a big event, consider spending some time getting comfortable with your new setup. Here are a few tips to help you make the most of your induction range:
-
Use Induction-Compatible Cookware: Induction cooking requires pots and pans made from magnetic materials, like steel or iron. Test your cookware with a magnet—if it sticks, it should work with your induction stovetop.
-
Keep an Eye on Cooking Times: Induction heats up faster than traditional cooktops, so food may cook more quickly than you're used to. Start with a few simple dishes to get familiar with the heat levels and timing.
-
Experiment with Oven Features: Many induction ranges include advanced oven features, like air-fry, convection, and proofing. Test these options early on to understand how they work and expand your cooking possibilities.
While it may take a little time to adjust to an induction range, you'll soon appreciate the speed, control, and versatility it offers for preparing all your favorite meals.
Induction Range vs. Gas and Electric Ranges
When deciding between induction, gas, and electric ranges, it’s essential to consider your cooking needs, budget, and kitchen layout.
Each type has distinct benefits, from the high-tech precision of induction to the classic appeal of gas and the affordability of electric. Here’s a quick comparison to help guide your decision:
-
Induction Ranges: Known for ultra-fast heating and energy efficiency, induction ranges directly heat the cookware, leaving the surface cool to the touch. They’re ideal for precise cooking control but require magnetic cookware and tend to have a higher upfront cost.
-
Gas Ranges: A traditional favorite, gas ranges offer instant heat control and are highly responsive to temperature changes, which is helpful for techniques like searing. However, they require proper ventilation and a gas line, and open flames can pose a safety risk.
-
Electric Ranges: Often the most affordable option, electric ranges are reliable and widely available. Smooth-top electric models are easy to clean, though they take longer to heat and may not have the same precision control as induction or gas.
Induction is a great option for those wanting high efficiency and modern technology, while gas ranges cater to chefs who appreciate a visible flame and responsive heat.
Electric ranges remain a budget-friendly choice for standard cooking.

FAQ
Here are some frequently asked questions about 36" induction ranges:
How does induction cooking work?
Instead of creating a hot surface to cook on, induction systems heat the pots and pans that hold your food. These systems use magnetic fields to create energy that transfers to your pans. This wastes less energy and keeps your cooking surfaces cool to the touch.
How long do induction cooktops last?
Most appliances will last between 10 to 15 years. However, if you buy a high-end induction model, it could last more than 20 years. The longevity of your appliances will depend on how often you use them and how well you care for them.
What are the benefits of a 36-inch induction range over a gas or electric range?
A 36-inch induction range provides faster, more precise cooking with lower energy use compared to gas and electric ranges. Induction cooking generates heat directly in the cookware, offering precise temperature control and reducing energy waste.
Do I need special cookware for an induction range?
Yes, induction ranges require cookware made from magnetic materials, like cast iron or stainless steel. You can test your cookware by seeing if a magnet sticks to the bottom—if it does, it should be induction-compatible.
