Induction Ranges Benefits
Induction ranges mark a significant leap in cooking technology, combining safety, efficiency, and precision. Unlike traditional gas or electric ranges that heat through a burner or element, induction ranges generate heat via electromagnetic fields directly in the cookware. This method results in quicker heating and more precise temperature control, leading to faster, more consistent cooking. Additionally, induction cooktops remain cool to the touch, greatly reducing burn risks and kitchen accidents.
Energy efficiency is another key advantage of induction cooking. By generating heat directly in the cookware, energy waste is minimized, which cuts down on energy usage and utility bills. This not only benefits the environment but is also cost-effective over time. The smooth, flat surface of the cooktops simplifies cleaning – spills can be easily wiped away. Plus, the sleek, modern design of induction ranges enhances any contemporary kitchen’s aesthetic.
Bringing Your Induction Range Home
Selecting the ideal induction range involves considering your cooking habits and kitchen space. First, ensure your kitchen can support an induction range, particularly its specific electrical needs. Choose a range that matches your kitchen’s size and style. Consider features like the number of burners, oven size, and extras such as convection cooking or self-cleaning functions, which can elevate your cooking experience.
Professional installation is recommended for induction ranges due to their technical complexities. Coast Appliances provides expert installation services, ensuring safe and correct setup. This not only guarantees optimal functionality but also preserves the manufacturer's warranty. For best performance, use induction-compatible cookware and maintain regular upkeep, like cleaning the cooktop and ensuring proper ventilation, to extend your range’s lifespan and maintain its top performance.
Note that induction cooktops require cookware with magnetic properties, such as cast iron or certain stainless steels. The cookware should have a flat bottom and contain iron to work with the induction technology.

An induction range uses electromagnets to quickly and precisely heat pots and pans, but not the cooktop itself. They’ve long been popular with professionals, and now they’re catching on with home cooks.
Induction range lifespans are measured in hours of use, so it could be expected to have a longer or shorter lifespan depending on how much cooking you do. The experts at Coast Appliances can help guide you through the details of induction ranges.
Some popular brands of induction ranges include Frigidaire Gallery, LG, Fisher Paykel and Wolf. We carry all these and more at Coast Appliances.
Because very little heat is wasted in the air, induction ranges are among the most efficient cooking appliances you can buy: around 84% efficient, compared to 74% for an electric range and 40% for a gas range.
