It’s a disgrace—98 percent of US households still cook food over crude heat like a bunch of cave-dwelling heathens. Well, the 21st century is no place for such pyromantic parlor tricks. We’ve ...

We researched how induction works, how to cook with it, and its environmental benefits. After testing portable induction cooktops, our overall top pick is this model from Duxtop. It's fast, consistent ...

As Insane Clown Posse once wondered, “magnets, how do they work?” The miracle scientific phenomenon of electromagnetism is the basis for something else seemingly unaccountable: induction cooking.

A magnetic field is generated by a 240-volt, 20-to-30-amp, 20-to-75-kHz-frequency electric current from a 40- or 50-amp breaker through a copper coil. Magnets pull otherwise randomly distributed ...

If you aren’t burning gas in your home for space or water heating (see our previous Explainers 1 and 2), there might be one gas user left in your home: the cooktop. Though your cooktop will only burn ...
