Induction cooking has been popular in Europe for quite awhile, but its reintroduction into the U.S. several years back has been slow to catch on. This is likely to be the year it really takes off. There are several reasons why: • It can lower your electric bill and cash-strapped homeowners are taking notice• Improvements are delivering pro-chef level temperature control• Their speed is increasingly appealing to time-stressed homeowners• There is an ever-broadening selection of offerings, including 30" and 36" cooktops, slide-in and free-standing ranges that are easier than ever to operate Later this year, Gaggenau and Thermador will be releasing smarter cooktops with full surface cooking and setting memory as you move your pot and pan from one location to another.

Induction cooktops. These energy-efficient appliances have finally made their way stateside from Europe.

Magnetic Induction CooktopsThe magnetic induction cooktop is the rising star of energy-efficient kitchen appliances. Typical electric or gas stoves heat the air under the pan, but a magnetic induction cooktop's heat is transferred directly to the pan through high-tech magnetism, leading to little wasted heat. Heat is generated quickly and is infinitely adjustable, just like gas. And because the heat needs a metallic surface for conduction, it's cool to the touch, making for a safer kitchen. Just make sure you have the right cookware to conduct the heat.Money- and energy-saving tips:Put a lid on it. Cover pots and pans to keep heat in and cook your food faster.Be passive with your pasta. Kate Heyhoe, author of Cooking Green: Reducing Your Carbon Footprint in the Kitchen, teaches us that we don't need to boil pasta for the full cooking time. Instead boil it for two minutes, then turn the burner off, cover the pot with a lid and let the pasta sit in the water for the remaining recommended cooking time. Your pasta will be cooked in the same amount of time and will have used less energy.

Cooktop. Although I love gas cooktops and think they are the best for cooking, when it comes to the easiest cooktop to clean nothing beats glass. You use a special cleaner to avoid scratching it, but there just isn't anything easier than this to wipe down.

CooktopsHaving a separate cooktop allows for more flexibility in design and cooking. If you love wall ovens or just want to keep your baking and cooking space separate, you'll want to find an individual electric or gas range.Guide: Find the Right Cooktop for Your Kitchen

Induction cooktop. The induction cooktop is a level up both in quality and cost from the electric cooktop. Its function is based on a magnetic field similar to that of a microwave, and you will have to purchase magnetic cookware. The great news is that there is no tangible heat on its surface, which is helpful for the fingers of wee family members. Induction offers very even heat distribution, and a pot of water will boil within a minute, which makes this a very energy-efficient appliance.This particular model has been installed flush with the countertop. Your stone or quartz countertop producer will cut a recessed line into the cutout for the cooktop, and the glass top will be installed with a silicone strip as an allowance for heat expansion. Set into a dark counter, this type of installation would make the cooktop disappear completely, for a very clean and contemporary look.
