I have on order an induction cooktop. I tossed around the idea of getting a hybrid so that I could keep my extensive collection of pots and pans, however, I thought that once I get used to induction, there is no way that I will want to use the radiant burners. That would end up limiting me (and hubby) to basically two elements. I am slowly replacing my pots and pans and will be getting an induction interface disk for the couple of pans that cannot be replaced.

Do a search ---be sure to use the search at the bottom of the page!!!---for Hybrid induction. You will find an "Overwhelming response" for the straight Induction.

We have the Electrolux Icon Induction with an inexpensive set of induction cookware by "Emeril"---wife still comments on how great the cookware is and easy to clean---
So you don't have to spend a fortune for new pots and pans, unless "That is Your Thing"
Welcome here, and good luck!!!!

Thanks for tip. Didn't realize there was search at bottom. I had only been using search at top and getting nowheres. About induction cookware, are all the pots very heavy or are there any more light weight?

Ours are lightweight. They are layers of copper, aluminum and stainless steel. Heavy ones would be cast iron, very rarely use those, anymore. The ones we have are called "clad" meaning the 3 layers are "clad together"
Take a magnet with you when you go shopping, as long as the magnet sticks to the bottom of the pot or pan, It will work with induction.
Probably the best known maker or Clad type pots and pans is "All Clad"---you will pay a bit more for it thou.
You can use straight stainless, but since it is not as great a heat conductor as aluminum or copper, it probably wont heat as evenly---alto I bet most the great cooks here, could cook with any pot on any stove.
I hope the search was helful for you. You can also do a search for induction cookware and get the experts opinions here---no worries if we dont all agree--just filter what suits You!!!
