Is your appliance repair company ready to care for the cooktops of the future?
When it comes to kitchen appliance design, cooktops are one area that has remained pretty much unchanged for decades. Now, however, innovative induction cooktops from Viking are spurring a bit of a revolution in form and function. Because induction technology generates less ambient heat than electric cooktops or gas burners, new design elements are becoming possible. Viking’s line of sleek, futuristic, high-tech glass cooktops are becoming a must-have for homeowners who love to cook as well as those who just love the look.
6 Benefits of Induction Cooktops
Faster Cooking: The best thing about induction cooktops is they heat up so fast. They can boil water extremely quickly, resulting in shorter cooking and prep times.
Efficiency: Induction cooktops heat cookware directly using electromagnetic waves. This makes them highly efficient, with 90 percent of the energy going directly to heating the pots placed on top of them rather than to heating a burner ring or dissipating into the air. Plus, the faster cooking they allow further reduces energy consumption.
Safety: An induction cooktop is safer than a gas stove because there is no open flame, and safer than an electric cooktop because it can only heat ferromagnetic pans. This means you can’t burn yourself on an induction cooktop that gets left on accidentally. However, a heated pot can still transfer significant heat back to the cooktop.
Comfort: Less ambient heat in the stove area means cooler, more comfortable environments for cooks. The old complaint about “slaving over a hot stove” just may have gone out the window.
Cleaning: With no burners or drip pans to deal with, cleaning the smooth, flat surface of an induction cooktop is a breeze. All you have to do is wipe it clean with an approved glass cleaner.
Design: As we’ve mentioned, Viking induction cooktops are opening up new possibilities in the design arena, like different glass options including new color and texture choices. The space-saving design of the cooktop also provides room for touch screen displays or different lighting choices.
