Induction cooktops have faster heating times with reduced temperatures. When compared to electricity and gas, induction means less heat is lost to the atmosphere (up to 60 to 70% more energy efficient). Pair a cooktop with the best induction cookware and step into a quicker, cleaner way to cook.
Best Stainless Steel Cookware
Cuisinart Multiclad Pro has triple-ply construction, producing optimal even heat distribution. One of the many benefits of stainless steel cookware is the PFOA/PTFE free peace of mind. Non-stick cookware has a coating which can peel or become uneven over time. Whereas the smooth surface of stainless steel doesn’t diminish in quality.

Duxtop cookware has been designed with induction cooktops in mind although the cookware performs just as well on gas, glass or electric. It’s a product of Secura, a company that produces induction cooktops. The cookware is stainless steel, with a base of aluminium layed between 2 layers of stainless steel ensuring heat is evenly distributed through the pan, promoting even cooking
Non Stick Induction Cookware Set
The big benefit of non-stick cookware is not needing to add oils to stop food sticking. Non-stick is particularly useful for cooking eggs or pancakes that stick easily. Another big tick for non-stick is that the pans don’t react to acidic foods like tomatoes and pans are very easy to clean. However if you use sharp cooking utensils like metal forks or spoons they can damage the non-stick coating

The cookware directly impacts the efficiency, so it’s important that the correct cookware is used. Induction is an energy efficient cooking solution

For example cast iron, stainless steel, It's easy to check cookware for compatibility by using a magnet. If it sticks you're ready to go. If not, induction interface disks can be purchased. Quality induction compatible cookware is well priced and versatile.
How Does Induction Heating Work?
Using electromagnetism pans are turning into cookers. Heat is created inside the pan itself rather than from the outside as we see in gas and electric cooktops. When the pan is placed on the induction cooking plate the magnetic field produced from the coil in the cooktop reacts with the material in the pan inducing electrical currents and creating heat. Via conduction heat transfers from the pan to the food or liquid of the pan
Care and Cleaning of Induction Cooktop
It’s actually much easier than cleaning a gas or electric stovetop. This is due to the lack of defined eyes. There are no burners, grates or burner covers to deal with. The cooking surface is also touch sensitive, meaning there are no knobs to clean around. The cooktop is a single, smooth, flat surface. However, there are a few tips you should know about the care and cleaning of any induction cooktop.
1.Wipe it down sooner rather than later. Although cleaning your induction cooktop isn’t difficult in most instances, it’s better to use a damp cloth or paper towel and wipe up spills as they occur. This prevents them from drying and becoming stuck on.
2.Regular Cleaning: You’ll need nothing more than a damp sponge, cloth or paper towel. For tougher stains, you can use a mild cooktop cleaner. Dry the unit with a clean, dry cloth.
3.For Heavier Soiling: If your cooktop becomes more heavily soiled, you can follow these tips. For hard water spots, use white vinegar and a paper towel. For dried on residues, use a specially formulated ceramic cooktop cleaner with a cooktop cleaning pad. Do not use steel wool or generic scrubbing pads, as these will scratch the surface. A cooktop scraper can be purchased for use on tough residues, but use care not to scratch your unit.
