4 Reasons Why You Should Use an Induction Cooktop

Induction cooking has the power to change the way you cook. Magnetic current technology makes mealtime easier, from prep to cleanup. Check out four of the top benefits of induction cooking to decide if this technology is suitable for you and your kitchen.

1. Decreased environmental impact

Induction cooking can help you save energy in the kitchen. While a conventional gas stove uses a flame that releases heat around the pan and an electric burner emits indirect radiant heat, induction stovetops get more heat to the food and less to you and your kitchen.

That's what makes induction stoves 5% to 10% more efficient than conventional electric stoves and up to three times more efficient than gas models. Induction can help you spend a little less on home cooling bills and have a healthier home environment, too.

2. Improved safety

Even if you take countless safety precautions, cooking with fire, grease and oil can still be dangerous. Wouldn't you want to remove as many risks as possible to keep you and your family safe during meal prep?

Induction cooktops remove multiple dangers. No fire means no grease fires, and no gas means no chance of a gas leak. They also have a leg up on electric stovetops. Induction cooking creates heat in the pan instead of on the stovetop itself, making burns much less likely for you and your curious kids and pets.

3. Faster cooking times

In addition to its other enticing benefits, induction cooking is the fastest way to prepare your food. Because induction technology heats the pan directly, food cooks faster once you turn the cooktop on and responds more quickly when you turn the heat off.

A few minutes may not seem like a deal-maker or breaker, but it will certainly make a difference when trying to make food in a pinch.

4. Easy to clean

Like traditional electric cooktops, induction cooktops are made of glass and have a smooth surface, so you don't have to pick up and clean any grates. But a bonus is that induction burners don't heat the cooktop's surface, so spills and splatters require nothing more than a quick wipe-down.

Even if you don't immediately tidy up, you don't have to worry about burnt food or annoying circles on your cooktop's surface.

5 Different Types of Cooktops & Stovetops - Whirlpool

1. Consider your ventilation needs

Don't forget that you'll need some type of vent near your cooktop. A ventilation system is essential to help clear kitchen air of smoke, odor and grease while you cook. If you're placing the cooktop on a kitchen island, look at island-canopy hoods. If you're installing in-line with cabinets, a wall-mounted canopy hood or over-the-range microwave hood combination might be right for you. Learn more in our guide to choosing the right ventilation for your kitchen.

2. Consider cooktop installation needs

Each type of cooktop comes with its own unique installation needs that you should take into account when choosing a new model for your kitchen. For example, gas cooktops require access to a gas line, while electric cooktops do not.  

You should also consider the surface you're planning to install the cooktop on. If you're installing a cooktop on a kitchen island, you may want to pair your cooktop with a retractable downdraft hood to avoid an over-the-range hood.

3. Consider maintenance & cleaning

Gas, electric and induction cooktops all have different cooking surfaces that require varying maintenance and cleaning methods. To clean gas cooktops, you need to remove and clean the grates in addition to the cooking surface. Induction cooktops – and some electric cooktops – have smooth glass surfaces that make it easy to clean once mealtime is over.

Select Whirlpool® Gas Cooktops may also feature EZ-2-Lift™ Hinged Cast-Iron Grates that give you quick access to cooktop spills and can be easily added to the dishwasher when it’s time to clean.

4. Consider cooktop features that matter to you

When shopping for a new cooktop, look for features that best fit your cooking needs. Select Whirlpool® Gas Cooktops offer features like the SpeedHeat™ Burner that helps you sear and boil quickly by generating high heat and a 2-in-1 Hinged Grate to Griddle that lets you explore more mealtime possibilities by allowing you to swap between cooking surfaces.
