I don't know the infomercial, but the short answer is yes. Which is why
we have a five-burner induction cooktop in our new house, and I gave up
all my French copper pots and pans hauled back from Paris over the years.

Yet we still have one portable induction hob, which we use at the table
for fondue, and occasionally at the outdoor grill for a side dish.
Couldn't be without induction any more, particularly in this warm climate.
