Information on Induction Cooktop

Description

An induction cooktop does not directly generate heat, but generates heat in the base of steel cookware. Effectively, the cookware itself is the element, which means that an induction cooktop runs much cooler than other types of cooktop and hopefully reduces the risk of burns. Advantages of induction cooktops include their fast cooking times and the ability to detect that a pan has boiled dry.
