People who own and operate vacation rental properties are discovering that their guests love induction ranges for cooking meals during their stays. 

For example, the Tongass Treehouse, available to rent on Airbnb and Vrbo, features an induction range for convenient and precise cooking in Juneau, Alaska. 

In an Instagram post, the owners of the Tongass Treehouse shared that they installed an induction range in their Otter Den Studio after being frustrated by the wasted energy and slow heating of electric cooktops. 

"Induction changes all the frustrations of normal electric ranges, it is more power and more precise heat control than gas," the original poster wrote. "As we designed the Otter Den for our full-time living, we intentionally chose induction."

In the video, the Tongass Treehouse owner explained how much they love induction now, even though they were once committed to gas cooking. Their biggest reasons for making the switch were the heating speed, ease of cleaning, and energy savings. 

The vacation rental owner shared an Instagram video about their Otter Den kitchen to inform guests planning to stay there. However, it also serves as a firsthand testimonial about the power and convenience of cooking with energy-efficient induction. 

Many home cooks have been making the switch from gas stoves to induction stoves, and they have given them overwhelmingly positive reviews

When you set up your home with solar panels, you can save even more while powering your energy-saving appliances.
