Positives and negatives on Induction cooktops
ONE: the cooktop itself remains fairly cool. ALL the energy goes into heating the pan (Thus more efficient) In fact to keep my induction unit clean when frying I will cover it in paper towel, then set the skillet on top!!! one time the towel turned brown. Just once. (in several years) Mine is a counter top model
Negatives AC only. will not work on propane.
If a magnet will not stick to the pan.. Send pan to Salvation Army as it won't work (Doing that as I move into my apartment)
But I have to admit. I had a gas range. a single electric counter top burner. A dual counter top and the induction unit. Induction was #1. they all work but induction was #1
Now in the apartment the primary range is Electric. and disabled at the breaker box (i don't need one that big) still use the induction unit.
