At a Glance:

Modern cooktops have become incredibly advanced. Instead of heating food over gas and electric systems, induction ranges conserve energy by providing a more precise cooking surface. Induction systems generate energy from an electromagnetic field below the cooktop. This energy is transferred to the cookware, which heats up.

There are many benefits of choosing an induction range for your home. They are more environmentally friendly because they use up to 10 percent less energy than electric stoves. They heat up faster, reducing cooking times so you spend less time preparing meals – and more time enjoying them. These ranges also come with built-in safety features so little hands don’t get burned.

There are plenty of quality induction range options in today’s market. Get to know a few different models and the top features they come with.

FAQ

What is an induction range?

An induction range is similar to an electric cooktop because it has flat burners built underneath glass. However, that is where the similarities end. Induction systems use electromagnetic fields to heat up pots and pans, which then cook the food. These systems are more energy-efficient and faster than other ranges.

What different ways can induction ranges be installed?

There are two different ways to install your ranges: slide-in and freestanding. A freestanding range can be installed almost anywhere, It comes with materials to protect kitchen walls from the range and to keep food from spilling over. It can be tucked into any set of cabinets. A slide-in range is built for a specific layout. This creates a seamless look so the stove doesn’t stick out.
