Induction stove use has surged due to its advanced performance, precision, and sleek, easy-to-clean design. Most importantly, this next-gen tech boasts a significant feature that substantially improves your home's safety.
Induction uses an electromagnetic field to transfer currents directly to cookware. Cooking with induction is faster and can boil water three times quicker than traditional gas. Additionally, the glass cooktop remains cool to the touch. If you spill food, it doesn't burn, which makes clean-up a breeze.
An array of high-end induction ranges are now available and pack some impressive features. Copper's handsome Charlie induction electric range has a built-in battery that not only delivers higher performance but also has you covered during an emergency. The onboard battery stores enough juice to cook three to five meals during a power outage.
One of the biggest reasons to opt for induction is to avoid the dangers of a gas stove.
