Induction Cooktop

An induction cooktop uses magnetic energy to heat cookware directly, which means the cooking surface itself stays cooler than traditional electric or gas stoves. This technology works only with magnetic cookware—cast iron, stainless steel, and some enameled pans—and requires different handling than what you may be used to. If you've recently switched to induction cooking or are thinking about it, understanding how it works and what it needs will help you cook more confidently and keep your cooktop in good condition.

These articles cover the practical questions that come up with induction cooking: which pans work and which don't, how to clean and maintain the glass surface without damage, what those sounds and smells mean, and how to troubleshoot when something isn't working right. You'll also find guidance on safety features, cookware care, and how to get the most out of your cooktop's performance.
