For decades, a gas stovetop has been the centerpiece of most commercial kitchens. That's about to change. Top chefs throughout the U.S. and beyond are breaking with tradition and switching to induction cooktops – an alternative that's safer, more precise, faster, and more efficient.
Induction uses electric current to create alternating magnetic fields that push a current against the molecules in induction-ready cookware. The resistance from the molecules then produces heat in the pan, which means the pan itself creates the heat. There's no open flame and no heat produced unless there's a pan place on the top.
If there's no pan on the range, there's no heat being produced.
Induction cooktops increase control and accuracy, enabling you to cook by power setting or temperature.
Nothing is faster. Check out how quickly a Vollrath Induction Range can boil water.
