Induction Cooktops Boil Water Twice as Fast as Gas

Induction cooktops transfer heat so efficiently that they can boil a pot of water about twice as fast as a gas burner.

Confirm your cookware is magnetic by testing whether a magnet sticks to the bottom, since induction only works with compatible pans.

Start with a portable induction burner for under a hundred dollars to try the speed and control before committing.

Note that the surface stays cooler than gas, which makes cleanup easier and keeps the kitchen air free of combustion fumes.

Once you adjust, most cooks never want to go back to an open flame.
