Induction cooktops and ranges will be very hot home products in 2011, in part because they help keep the kitchen cool. I never seize to be amazed at the simple physics behind induction cooking-it still amazes me that a cooking surface can be so cool and yet transfer so much heat to the cooking pan or skillet. But beyond this interesting phenomena, there are other advantages to induction cooking; it is much more energy efficient than either gas or electric; and of course the added safety of a cool cooking surface. Below we have incorporated 9 Modern and Sleek Induction Cooktops, hope you find them helpful.
