Induction stoves are fast becoming one of the best stoves to buy, and for very good reasons. These new types of stoves have many advantages to them. Induction stoves transfer heat magnetically, which means that instant heat adjustment is possible. It also means that since all the magnetized heat is transferred to the base, there is no wastage of electricity at all. Induction stoves are also cool to the touch, even when they are on full temperature! This is great from a safety point of view, especially if you have kids or cats who like to climb over everything!
There is one drawback to having an induction stove unfortunately, and that is you need to have a set of cookware that will work with it. To use an induction stove, you must have cookware that has a stainless steel, or a cast iron base. Aluminum or copper will not work on these types of stoves. The good news at least is that there many ceramic nonstick cookwares sets that are induction friendly, so we are going to list a few of them in this article.
