Gizmodo wrote an article about induction cooking recently. A technology I love but have yet to install in the kitchen. Until this year, all induction cooktops came in single element portable units, or cooktops installed into a countertop. This year, Sears Kenmore was the first to release both a freestanding and slide-in model. In July, GE just a freestanding model too, the GE Profile 30″ Freestanding Induction Range. Look to see more induction options into next year. These are great alternatives for condos or houses that do not have access to gas ranges. You get excellent temperature control, instant on/off and low power consumption.

The only downside? You need cookware that is magnetic. Most premium cookware is, you can test it using a fridge magnet. If it’s not magnetic, buy some stainless steel cookware instead of aluminum and you should be fine.
