Induction cooktops heat fast, waste little energy and are safer than open flames — a great fit for modern kitchens and backup for LPG. Here's how to pick the best induction cooktop in 2025.
Why choose induction?
- Faster heating and precise temperature control
- Energy-efficient — heat goes straight into the vessel
- Safer — no open flame; surface cools quickly
