A good range is an asset in any kitchen, but one new technology you may not have considered is an induction range. Induction technology is relatively new, but it already has a reputation for excellent energy efficiency and cooking performance. An induction range is easy to use and considerably more energy efficient compared to its electric counterpart. If you\u2019re still unsure, here we\u2019ll examine this type of product in more detail, so you can make an informed decision for your next range upgrade.<\/p>\n

How Induction Cooking Works<\/h2>\n

Induction uses electric currents to heat pots and pans directly through magnetic induction. Rather than using the thermal conduction needed for gas or electric elements to transfer heat, induction heats the cooking vessel itself.<\/p>\n

In simple terms, an electric current passes through coiled copper wire under the cook surface to create a magnetic current through the cooking pan, which produces heat. Since induction does not require an outside heat source, only the element that is being used will become warm. There is very little energy lost, as all the heat is transferred to the pan.<\/p>\n

The Pros and Cons of Induction<\/h2>\n

There are both advantages and disadvantages of induction compared to gas or electric ranges. It is important to be aware of both the pros and cons, so you can make an informed decision.<\/p>\n
