An induction stove is a type of cooking appliance that uses electromagnetic energy to heat pots and pans directly. Unlike traditional stoves that rely on gas or electric coils, induction stoves create a magnetic field that generates heat in the cookware itself. This makes cooking faster and more energy-efficient, as less heat is wasted. To use an induction stove, you need compatible cookware made of ferrous materials, such as cast iron or stainless steel. When the pot is placed on the stove, the magnetic field activates, allowing for precise temperature control and quick adjustments. This technology also enhances safety, as the stove surface remains cool to the touch.
