Equator BIC304CCED 30 inch Built-In Induction Cooktop with 4 Elements, Compatible, Touch Controls, Power Boost Function, in Black

Induction cooking is a fast, safe, and precise cooking technology that uses a magnetic field below the glass countertop stove to transfer current directly to the cookware. This induction range allows speed in cooking with precise temperature control to turn the heat up or down instantly. You can cook faster on the induction cooktop, e.g you can boil 6 cups of water in 2 minutes. It uses special cookware which will only get hot if it is magnetic and if food/liquid is in the pan, making it safe to use and reducing accidents. It uses clean electricity with no release of toxins as with gas and has an energy transfer of 84% (vs. 74% with other technologies). The powerful, 4-burner 30 inches cooktop, packed with powerful features offers flexibility to our customers’ lifestyles.
