Traditional gas and electric cooktops heat food by creating hot surfaces, similar to roasting marshmallows over a fire. In contrast, induction cooking represents a more advanced technology.
These systems use electromagnetic fields to transfer energy to your cookware, causing it to heat up. The stove will heat your pots and pans while remaining cool. The technology behind induction ranges is why consumers prefer them.
Buyers value the energy efficiency and enhanced precision these ranges provide during the cooking process. Additionally, they are safer, as the cooktop remains cool, reducing the risk of burns if someone accidentally touches the cooking surface.

Advantages of Induction Cooking
Induction ranges regularly outperform their gas and electric counterparts, which is why they are so desirable. Here are a few reasons to invest in induction cooking:
- Cool surface: the pots heat up when you cook on an induction stove, but the surface itself remains cool. This gives home cooks more counter space and creates a safer environment to prevent burns.
- Energy efficiency: because heat is transferred directly to the pot or pan, induction is one of the most efficient cooking methods. You might notice a drop in your electric bill because of it.
- Precision cooking: rather than handling electric burners or an open gas flame, you can control your induction stovetop and enjoy greater precision. Test out more advanced dishes and see how easier they are with induction systems.
Whether you are looking to maximize efficiency or simply want a safe cooking surface in your home, you can’t go wrong with an induction range.

Maintenance and care for Induction Range
Induction ranges are easy to care for if you develop a few healthy habits to keep them in good working order. Follow these best practices so your range lasts.
- Lift pots and pans up to move them: Avoid dragging your cookware across the heating surface to prevent scratches.
- Wipe down the heating surface after every use: All you need is a damp towel and maybe some gentle soap.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners: Don’t use steel wool or harsh scrubbers on your induction cooktop.
- Regularly inspect your appliance for issues: Catching problems with the heating elements, knobs, vents, or door seals can help you address minor problems before they grow into bigger concerns.
If your induction range isn’t performing as it should, contact a service technician for help. They can easily identify the problem and make repairs to your system.
FAQ
Here are a few frequently asked questions about induction ranges.
Do chefs prefer gas or induction?
Most chefs have access to gas stoves because they are affordable and popular, but more are switching to induction cooking. Home cooks are also making the switch from electric and gas models to induction stoves as they discover how easy these systems are to use.
Can you use cast iron on induction?
Yes. Cast iron is one of the most popular cookware options for induction stoves. Feel free to grow your cast iron collection after you upgrade to an induction cooktop.
Can I use stainless steel on induction?
Yes. You should be able to use stainless steel cookware on induction stoves. This cookware works best when it has a flat bottom. As a rule of thumb, if a piece of cookware is magnetic, it will work with your induction range.
What happens if you use the wrong pan on induction?
If you try to use a pan that is not compatible with your induction system, it will turn off. This prevents the range from wasting energy on cookware that will not respond to its electromagnetic currents. This is also a built-in safety feature.
