Induction cooktops – while not new in the appliance industry – has been enjoying some extra attention as of late. This type of cooktop is an efficient way of preparing food and is newly popular within North America. Unlike gas ranges and electric cooktops, induction cooktops use electromagnetism to heat cookware which allow for a rapid increase and quick decrease in temperature. But why have they become so popular? Do we have a specific type of induction cooktop we suggest? Here we list four reasons to consider making the switch.
Speed and Efficiency
Induction cooktops heat up much faster than gas or electric stovetops. They also offer precise temperature control, allowing you to cook at a lower temperature without sacrificing speed or efficiency. This means that you can prepare meals more quickly and with less energy, which is a big plus for homeowners looking to reduce their carbon footprint.
Safety
Induction cooktops are safer than traditional stovetops in several ways. Because they heat the pots and pans directly, the cooktop itself stays relatively cool to the touch. This reduces the risk of accidental burns or fires. Additionally, because there is no open flame or exposed heating element, there is less risk of spillovers or other accidents.
Easy to Clean
Induction cooktops are also easy to clean. Because they don’t heat up the air around them, spills and splatters don’t burn onto the surface like they do with gas or electric stovetops. Instead, you can simply wipe down the cooktop with a damp cloth or sponge.
Design Flexibility
Finally, induction cooktops offer design flexibility that traditional stovetops can’t match. Because they don’t require a gas line or venting, they can be installed anywhere in your kitchen. This means that you can incorporate them into your custom cabinets in a variety of ways, including as a standalone cooktop or as part of a larger cooking area.
Incorporating induction cooktops into your custom kitchen can offer several benefits to you. Not only do they provide a more efficient and safer cooking experience, but they also offer design flexibility that can help you create a truly unique and functional kitchen space.
