Induction cooking is a fast, safe, and precise cooking technology that uses a magnetic field below the glass cooktop to transfer current directly to the cookware. It allows speed in cooking with precise temperature control to turn heat up or down instantly. You can cook faster, e.g., you can boil 6 cups of water in 2-minutes. It uses special cookware which will only get hot if it is magnetic and if food/liquid is in the pan, making it safe to use and reducing accidents. It uses clean electricity with no release of toxins as with gas and has an energy transfer of 84% (versus 74% with other technologies). The powerful, 4 burner 24 in. cooktop packed with powerful features offers flexibility to our customers' lifestyles. Color: Black.
