In an effort to create a healthy space for her children, one mom opted to dump her gas stove for a planet-friendly induction range.
Author Briony Benjamin (@briony_benjamin) posted an Instagram reel sharing the health benefits of induction cooking. Benjamin, who appears in the video with her baby, said her family recently switched to induction to avoid the toxic fumes that come with gas.
"No more increased risks of childhood asthma," Benjamin wrote in the caption.
"It's way more efficient," Benjamin said in the video. "It's much better for your health."

💡Discover the induction option that’s just right for your needs and your home
According to Scientific American, gas stoves release nitrogen dioxide, which is known to have harmful effects. Research found that gas stoves are responsible for nearly 13% of childhood asthma cases in the United States.
For parents looking to whip something up quickly for their kids, cooking with induction is the way to go. According to Consumer Reports testing, induction is the fastest cooking technology. The stovetops are easier to clean, too.
Homeowners can get up to $840 off the cost of an induction range with federal incentives. If a major kitchen renovation isn't in your budget, consider buying a plug-in induction burner. You can get them for as low as $50.
In her Instagram reel, Benjamin said the induction stove is just the beginning of her family's mission to electrify their home.
