We use a portable, single burner induction cook top for about 95% of all of our cooking. If we ever replace our electric stove, we would replace it with an induction cook top. Our portable induction cook top is 110/120 volts but is just one burner: New stove that plugs into a normal wall outlet could be major gain for health and the climate
The change, here, is an entire stove that is said to be 110/120 volts rather than 240 volts enabling an easy replacement of gas stoves with electric. At best, you’ll get two burner capability out of that due to the low voltage. It is possible to handle more burners by cycling the power between the “burners” but that might not be what everyone desires to have.
Induction cook tops heat up very fast and can control their heat similar to a gas stove. Induction cook tops are now our preferred way to cook. Our portable cook top unit is one designed for commercial use – which means a couple of things: (1) it can be run continuously for long periods of time, and (2) it uses actual current control to adjust the heat versus consumer models that typically pulse modulate the current to set the heat.
Induction cooking – without the open flame of a gas stove – seems safer too.
