Because of their rapid heating and precise temperature control, many people prefer to cook steak, eggs, and stir-fry on induction cooktops. 

However, one TikToker recently showed the world how she makes cheese with the power of induction. 

Chelsea Cole (@chel.seacole) posted a video demonstrating how she makes ricotta using the Breville Control Freak induction cooking system.

"I'm back at it with the cheesemaking and totally reenergized because I have an amazing new toy that I think is going to make this process so much better," Cole said

She started her cheesemaking process by sanitizing all her equipment. Then she prepared a citric acid solution in her induction-safe pan before proceeding to the next steps. Her induction cooktop automatically adjusts the heat based on the probe temperature reading. 

"It's amazing, it's so precise, and you can even set intensity so it doesn't get too hot too quickly," Cole shared. 

Watching Cole's ricotta-making process is inspiring because it shows the impressive potential of induction cooking. 

Induction stoves are an easy, affordable cooking solution that help you avoid the risks of gas stoves. When you replace a gas cooktop with induction, you create safer, more breathable air in your home and contribute to a cleaner planet with less pollution.
