Induction cooktops


Anyone have one yet? what are your experiences with them? I know induction works fast, but how would you say cooking is with them? seems like it takes forever for me to boil water with my gas cooktop, but being able to boil water in 90 seconds is a MAJOR improvement from 5+ minutes on gas...

Induction cooktops


Recently had a client offer to make me lunch - 7 min from cold water to pasta on the table, including 5 min to cook the pasta. I was impressed.

right now with gas, that'd take me at least 20 minutes... minimum

Induction has been used for years in industry for fast heating. The only requirements for the home induction stoves are making sure you have the right cookware. I don't think aluminum and copper stuff will work properly.
