While fire has been the way humans have cooked for most of our history, in recent times there are many alternatives available. Induction cooking is one such example that has made its way into many homes. Using the power of electricity and magnetism, the humble induction cooktop offers a safer way to cook at home – one that doesn’t depend on the availability of LPG gas. As long as you have somewhere to plug it into, and enough power to draw on, an induction cooktop can be handy anywhere and anytime. Here are some unique options available on Amazon that have been selected based on a combination of features and specifications they offer.
