(As seen on TV - a Ming favorite) Induction is different than any other
cooking method you have ever seen. Unlike a gas burner or traditional
electric stove, the induction cooktop is 100% incapable of producing
heat. That's right, the cooktop itself produces no heat whatsoever.
When the cooktop is turned on, a coil underneath the surfaces generates
a magnetic field about a third of an inch above the surface of the
glass top. If you place an aluminum pan, glass pot, or even a piece of
paper on the surface - nothing will happen. But, when you place a pan
made of magnetic metal on the glass top, the magnetic field generated
by the cooktop immediately excites the magnetic molecules in the pan
resulting in instant, precise and very controllable heat.
The cooktop's glass-ceramic surface is unaffected by the magnetic field
since it contains no magnetic material. The heat of the pan will warm
the glass; however, the cooktop will remain much cooler to the touch
than other smoothtop surfaces.
Faster - Because energy is directly transferred within the pan metal,
induction heating is extremely fast - even faster than gas.

Safer - With no open flame, red-hot coil or other radiant heat source,
induction is much safer to use than other conventional method.

Cleaner - Because the surface remains cool, a damp sponge cleans the
surface in a breeze - even while you're cooking.

Cooler - The lack of an open flame provides for a much cooler,
work-friendly cooking environment.

Cheaper - Induction cooking is extremely energy efficient. In fact,
90% of every dollar you spend on energy goes right where you want it -
in the pan!
