One of the fastest rising technologies in kitchens today are
induction cooktops. There are pros and cons to each type of cooking surface and
today we will explore those together.
Style: A gas cooktop can look very professional or it can be
more streamlined for a cleaner look. Induction cooktops are a smooth glass top
that are very clean and modern in appearance.
Cleaning: An induction cooktop is much easier to clean as it
is a smooth piece of glass vs the gas cooktop that is a stainless basin with
steel metal grates set on top of it.
Heat Precision: Gas
cooktops have progressed well over the years in their ability to precisely
control heat. Both gas and induction do this well.
Safety: Since induction generates heat in the pot and not on
the surface of the unit, the residual heat on the surface once a pot is removed
is minimal. The steel grate on a gas cooktop can stay hot for a while after
cooking has ended. Also, a gas cooktop
has an open flame while an induction cooktop generates heat via a magnetic
induction. Induction cooktops have a safety lock feature preventing them from
being accidentally turned on.
Do you have a preference in cooking surfaces? Are you
deciding between the 2? I would highly suggest visiting a showroom that has
both, preferably live and working, that you can evaluate side by side.
