Induction Cooktop
COMING SOON!
Induction cooktops use electromagnetic coils to directly heat iron-based cookware, offering fast, energy-efficient, and precise cooking. Key advantages include rapid boiling, superior simmer control, easy cleaning, and improved safety because the surface stays relatively cool.
NOTE: For induction to work, your cookware must be made of a magnetic metal, such as cast iron or some stainless steels.
