Unlike gas or traditional electric stoves, which generate heat and then transfer it to the pan, induction stoves use magnetic fields to generate heat directly in the cookware, making them safer, more efficient, and easier to use.

They are a great option for those who want to upgrade their kitchen cooktop, and rebates are often available for those switching from gas to electric appliances.
