What is induction cooking and how does it work?Induction cooking is widely loved by chefs and home cooks, but is still not yet widely known by many consumers! Induction cooktops work a little differently from a traditional gas cooktop but there are many benefits—induction uses the cookware to generate the heat for faster, more efficient heating. When you place a pan on an induction cooktop and turn on the cooktop, an electric current travels through a coiled copper wire, which produces and applies heat directly to your pan. Heating the cookware directly prevents heat loss (plus, the area surrounding your pan remains cool to the touch, since only your pan gets heated). The main advantages of induction cooking you’ll immediately notice are the speed of cooking and also the ease of clean-up.Shop all Induction Cooktops
