The Benefits of Induction Cooking

1) Energy and Cost Efficient. Induction cooking is the most sustainable form of cooking. Notably more efficient than its competitors, gas and electric, induction cooking will help you help the planet. And, by using less energy, your monthly cooking costs will markedly decrease.The heat from induction cooking is provided by a magnetic reaction. A magnetic field transfers the electric energy to the object to be heated. There is a direct transfer of energy, which, in turn, results in greater efficiency. No heat is created by the induction element, instead, it is induced in the object/cooking utensil.

2) Safety. Besides energy efficiency, there is the added bonus of safety. No open flame means less cooking hazards for you and your family.

3) Stay Cool. And since no extra heat is being introduced into the environment, your kitchen will not get miserably hot as you cook. On a hot summer day, you will certainly appreciate this kind of efficiency.
