Smarter Home: Induction Cooking

Published:

Living in the age of smart homes means doing everything smarter, including cooking. Electric induction cooktops offer a smarter and more efficient way to prepare your meals. In fact, induction cooking is three times more efficient than natural gas.

Induction technology is more efficient because it uses magnetic fields to create heat in your pan and cook your food. Because all the heat is created in the pan itself, there is far less waste and less heat lost to the air, making your kitchen more comfortable. This also keeps the workspace around your pan cooler, reducing the risk of burns. And, because it's a glass top, cleaning is easier, too.

For induction cooking to work, cookware needs to be induction-ready. Try sticking a magnet to the bottom or side of the pan. If it sticks, your cookware will work.

Induction cooktops are often paired with convection ovens, which improve baking efficiency. Much like an air fryer, convection ovens use a fan to move air throughout the oven for more even baking that often takes less time or at a lower temperature.

Maximize the smart in your smart home with induction and convection cooking technologies.
