What is An Induction Cooktop?
An induction cooktop holds a series of elements, or burners, called induction coils, which are magnetic. These coils generate a magnetic field that inducts a heating reaction in steel-based pots and pans. It is the pans themselves that heat the food, not the elements themselves. When turned off after cooking, the heating surface may feel warm to the touch, but are relatively cool compared to their electric coil counterparts, and so are considered much safer.
