Description
Chefs have always understood the mantra, "Time is money." Waiting for that watched pot to boil means valuable resources like time and energy are wasted. Induction cooktops by Cooktek help eliminate that waste. Induction cooktops are the future of food preparation since they use neither gas nor electricity to produce the heat necessary. Induction cooking is far more energy efficient than gas or traditional electric ranges since 90% of every dollar you spend on energy goes right where you want it - in the pan! Also, since only the pan gets hot, spills don't cook onto the hot surface, making clean up a snap. The cooktops are available as drop in tops, to replace your existing range, or more portable for chefs on the go. Either way, you'll enjoy the efficiency and effectiveness of great cooking, without the wasted time or energy of conventional cooktops. Bon appetit!

How it Works
Induction works according to a simple basic principle. An electronic circuit supplies power and electronically controls an inductor coil inside the cooktop. This coil generates a magnetic field when cookware is placed in contact with the cooktop surface, causing induced currents to flow through the base of the cookware. These currents transform the cookware into a heat source by what is called the joule effect, leaving the surface of the cooktop surrounding the cookware cool to the touch.

Efficiency
Since with induction it's the pan that provides the heat, very little heat is radiated out and thus lost, making induction cooking more efficient. With an efficiency of 90%, compared to 50% for gas or 55-60% for other electric technologies, induction heats incredibly fast. Even when compared to a microwave, nothing can match the speed or safety of an induction cooktop. Power and efficiency, combined with the fact that energy consumption is proportional to the size of the cookware, resulting in substantial energy reduction
