[. . . ] eFFICIENT: Induction cooking is the most eco-friendly and energy-efficient way to cook. Induction cooktops use 90% of the energy produced, which is much more energy-efficient than gas or electric cooktops. By recognizing the base of the cookware, induction heats only the diameter of the pot so very little energy is wasted. Moreover, induction emits no flame, so less residual heat is produced in your kitchen.
