What is an Induction Cooktop?

An Induction Cooktop is a modern electric cooking appliance that uses electromagnetic induction technology to generate heat directly inside the cookware. Unlike traditional gas or electric stoves, induction does not produce heat through a flame or heating coil. Instead, it creates a magnetic field that transfers energy straight to the utensil.

Inside an induction cooktop, there is a copper coil placed beneath a ceramic glass surface. When the cooktop is switched on, an alternating electric current passes through the coil, creating a magnetic field. If you place an induction-compatible utensil (made of ferrous or magnetic material) on the surface, this magnetic field induces electric currents in the base of the vessel. These currents generate heat directly inside the utensil.

Because heat is produced in the cookware itself:

• Cooking is extremely fast
• Energy efficiency is very high
• The cooktop surface remains relatively cool (except the area under the vessel)

This makes induction cooktops one of the safest and most energy-efficient cooking technologies available today.

Key Features of an Induction Cooktop

• Rapid heating – boils water faster than gas
• Precise temperature control
• Auto shut-off safety
• Pan detection technology
• Overheat protection
• Digital display & preset menus
• Energy-efficient performance

Most modern induction cooktops also come with preset modes for:

• Boiling milk
• Frying
• Pressure cooking
• Chapati making
• Slow cooking

How is an Induction Cooktop Different from an Infrared Cooktop?

Although both are electric cooktops, they work on completely different technologies.

Heating Method

Induction Cooktop:

• Uses electromagnetic induction
• Heats the cookware directly
• The surface does not generate heat itself

Infrared Cooktop:

• Uses radiant heat from a heating coil or halogen lamp
• The surface becomes hot
• Heat transfers from surface to cookware

👉 Difference:

Induction heats the vessel directly.

Infrared heats the surface first.

Cookware Compatibility

Induction:

• Works only with magnetic (ferrous) cookware
• Stainless steel with magnetic base
• Cast iron
• Induction-compatible utensils

Infrared:

• Works with all types of cookware
• Aluminium
• Stainless steel
• Copper
• Glass
• Clay pots

👉 Difference:

Induction requires special cookware.

Infrared works with almost everything.

Energy Efficiency

• Induction is more energy-efficient (around 85–90%)
• Infrared is slightly less efficient because heat is lost from the surface

👉 Induction saves more electricity.

Safety Level

Induction:

• Surface remains cooler
• Auto pan detection (won’t work without vessel)
• Lower burn risk

Infrared:

• Surface gets very hot
• Higher risk of burns after use

👉 Induction is safer, especially for families with kids.

Cooking Speed

• Induction is generally faster
• Infrared is fast but slightly slower than induction

When Should You Choose Induction?

Choose an Induction Cooktop if:

• You want maximum energy efficiency
• You prefer faster cooking
• Safety is important
• You already own induction-compatible cookware
• You want a modern, digital cooking experience

Simple Summary

• Induction = Magnetic heating inside the utensil
• Infrared = Radiant heating from the surface

Induction is more efficient, faster, and safer.

Infrared is more flexible with utensils.
