Induction Cooktops
Popular in Europe for years, induction cooktops have been slow to gain traction in the U.S., mainly due to their hefty price (starting in the mid $1,000 range, compared to less than $300 for some of the cheapest gas cooktops). But this is changing and prices are going down. Consumers are realizing the attraction of induction heat: the fact that it heats up as fast as gas, cools down quicker, and that cooktops are easier to clean than traditional stove tops.
Keep In Mind: Induction cooking only works with pots and pans that have magnetic bottoms such as stainless steel or cast iron.
