WHat is induction heat

We are so glad you asked Laurie! Unlike traditional electric and gas cooktops, induction technology uses magnetic currents to directly heat your pots and pans, instead of the cooktop. Cooking with induction makes mealtime easier with quicker heat, precise control, and easy cleanup. Induction cooktops heat pots and pans directly, instead of using an electric or gas-heated element. It boils water up to 50 percent faster than gas or electric*, and maintains a consistent and precise temperature. The surface stays relatively cool so spills, splatters and occasional boil-overs don't burn onto the cooktop, making clean-up quick and easy. Hope this helps! ~ Anna
