induction cooktop
Electromagnetic cooking surface
An induction cooktop is a stovetop that heats cookware through electromagnetic fields rather than flames or radiant heat.
The cooking surface itself stays relatively cool—only the pot or pan heats up, making it faster and more energy-efficient than gas or electric coils.
Induction requires magnetic cookware: My aluminum pans don't work on the induction cooktop.
