What is Induction?

ANNE ON INDUCTION

“Pasta is my favorite thing to make, cook and eat.” said Chef Anne Burrell, star of Food Network’s Secrets of a Restaurant Chef. “I learned to make it with an ancient hand-crank pasta machine years ago, and it took forever. But with the power of the induction cooktop from Frigidaire®, it takes only minutes to make a perfect pasta dish. It generates rapid heat, so water boils more quickly, and there is no wait to savor those delicious flavors.”

By combining the power of gas with the easy cleanup of electric cooktops, induction technology allows you to make the most of your time at home with a number of convenient benefits. For instance:

  • Cook Faster

    The PowerPlus® Boost function on Frigidaire Induction Cooktops generates rapid heat, so you can bring water to a boil quickly and have your pasta dinner on the table in minutes.

  • Energy Efficient

    Induction Cooking is 70% more energy efficient than gas and 20% more efficient than electric. Faster cooking and less energy, how awesome is that?

  • Cooler to the Touch

    Since heat is transferred directly to the cookware, the cooktop stays cooler to the touch – making it easier to clean than a gas cooktop, and safer to use around your family.

  • Works with Most Cookware

    Worried that your current cookware won’t work with induction? Don’t be. It’s easy to test the pots and pans you have at home. If a magnet sticks to the bottom of a pot or pan, it will work!
