Choosing Electric Vs Induction Cooktops
Cooktops are an excellent addition to any modern kitchen of any size. Electric cooktops provide outstanding cooking performance with no flame. These cooktops provide exceptional control and rapid heat delivery, allowing you very quickly move between medium heat to low temperature. However, cooking on a new electric cooktop is not without some potential problem areas.

The most common of these problems relates to safety. Electric cooktops are new technology; they are easy to use and the surface area is relatively small. This means that even a small mistake with a burner can result in serious injury. In this article we look at how to avoid some common dangers of using electric cooktops.


The number one danger for new cooktops is that of an electrical shock. Cooktops can be installed with non-intrusive ventilation which is designed to reduce the chances of an electrical shock occurring. However, there is always the chance that ventilation will be unable to remove steam from the top of a cooking vessel and for this reason the venting system will need to be manually turned off. In this situation, it is often safer to cook on a wooden or metal cooktop than an electric one.

In terms of cooktop design, another problem area is that of touch controls. Electric cooktops can be expensive and many people opt for a cheaper but still potentially dangerous alternative, namely ceramic cooktops. Although ceramic is relatively new cookware, there are now an increasing amount of examples of ceramic cooktops being sold with built-in touch controls - it is always important to make sure that you check the specifications of your purchase carefully.

One of the most important factors in buying cooktops is your own budget. If you have a large household, then it may be worth investing in a commercial oven or cooker. These units have the advantage of having heating and cooking controls at the touch of a button meaning that you can turn your stovetop into a central heating source. The downside of these types of cooktops is that they are much more expensive than conventional cooktops and require that you have an extra oven room. Alternatively, you can buy a home kitchen appliance and build a microwave oven which is a much cheaper solution. As with ceramic cooktops, it is advisable to check the specifications of your purchase carefully before you buy.

There are two main types of cooktop - electrical and induction. Electrical cooktops work using a transformer and are far more energy efficient than their predecessors. However, the price of electricity has increased significantly in recent years and in some cases, electric cooktops may not be a cost effective solution. The other option available for those wishing to buy a new cooktop is the induction cooktop. The induction cooktop heats up from within so that any cold air trapped inside is turned into hot water.

The benefits of choosing electric cooktops over induction cooktops are that the electrical ones produce no residual heat and there is no ongoing need for electricity. Despite this, electric cooktops can still use induction heating which can still provide very good results. The cons of choosing a new cooker are that you cannot change the cooking temperature and you must rely on the precise temperature provided by the cooker itself. Although these problems may not be major concerns for most, if you are intending to buy a good-quality cooker, you should give the induction cooktops a thought.

Best offers with BestReviewsTips UK The main benefit of induction cooktops is that you don't have to worry about dangerous chemicals being produced by boiling water. This is because the electrical conductors used in induction cooktops are covered with special copper shields so that no heat or radiation is allowed to pass through. The copper shield also acts as a reflector so that any heat energy that passes through is absorbed instead. Heat conduction through copper is believed to be even more efficient than that through other metals like stainless steel.
