When planning a new kitchen, you may find yourself debating between an induction or a gas cooking surface. For years, gas cooking surfaces have been preferred by many consumers. In recent years, induction has become increasingly popular due to many factors, with one attribute being how fast it performs.
Induction surfaces work by using electromagnetic energy, which directly heats your pots and pans. Gas surfaces use indirect heat to heat your cookware, losing energy in the process. In simple terms, induction heats only the cookware that you are using. If you have ever used a gas cooking surface, you are likely well aware that not all of the heat is used for cooking. Think about your hot kitchen while cooking in the summer! Induction is much more efficient in how it operates, making it the quicker option between the two styles. Case in point, you are able to bring a pot with six cups of water to a boil within 2-4 minutes on an induction top!
While there will always be a huge market for gas cooking, induction seems to be the wave of the future due to the efficiency and speed in which it works. When shopping for your next range or cook top, make sure to stop in at your local Don’s Appliances and ask for a demo!
