Induction cooking is gaining popularity, with top picks for induction cooktops recently highlighted. These selections include the feature-rich GE Profile PHP9036, the powerful Bosch 800 Series NIT8661UC, and the reliable Miele KM 7740 FR. Induction cooktops offer several advantages over gas stoves, including improved safety and efficiency. Unlike gas stoves, which emit harmful fumes and pose explosion risks, induction cooktops use electromagnetic currents to directly heat cookware, keeping the surface cool and easy to clean. This method is also more energy-efficient, leading to faster boiling times and lower energy bills. Additionally, federal incentives can provide up to $840 off new induction cooktops, and plug-in induction burners offer an affordable countertop alternative. When shopping for induction cooktops, features such as multiple power settings, temperature control, smart-home connectivity, and cooking element bridging are recommended for added versatility.
