induction oven

Electromagnetic heating surface

An induction oven uses electromagnetic fields to heat cookware directly rather than heating a burner or element first.

The cooktop itself stays relatively cool—only the pan gets hot.

Induction cooking is faster and more energy-efficient than gas or traditional electric, but requires magnetic cookware: My aluminum pans won't work on the induction oven.
