"Am I the only one wondering … ?"

After showing off her new induction stove online, one creator on TikTok answered questions about how its incredible safety features let her interact with it in a way that no other stove is capable of.

"Am I the only one wondering how she can touch the stove while it's on?" asked a commenter on a previous video who was quoted in the newer clip by TikToker Allyiah (@allyiahsface).

While this might seem surprising to those unfamiliar with the new technology, a safe, touchable surface is actually a common feature of induction stoves. Allyiah demonstrates it more fully in the newer video using an induction stove that is seamlessly blended into a wood-finished countertop. 

"So everyone's major concern was how do I not burn my hand all the time?" she says. "It's an induction stove, which means that it only heats up very specific kinds of pots and pans."

She then demonstrates how she can bring a pan of water to boil on the stove, but touching the countertop immediately around it is completely safe. She even picks up the boiling pan and sets her hand where it was just sitting without getting burned, then puts the pan back down and shows that it resumes boiling.

"It will never burn me," she says confidently.

Induction stoves aren't just safe and stylish. They're also a simple, affordable way to avoid the drawbacks and health risks caused by gas stoves, such as the increased risk of asthma due to the fumes. 

In some states, you can get as much as $840 in subsidies when you buy an induction range. Not only that, but when you use them to cook, you'll get done faster and save money on energy.
