Induction cooking, which relies on electromagnetic energy to heat up the cookware directly, has numerous benefits, including faster heating times, better energy efficiency, and improved safety, making it an easy decision to upgrade from any existing electric or gas stovetop. 

If you live in the Los Angeles area, you may already know that local building ordinances banning or restricting the use of natural gas infrastructure are rapidly being implemented. These changes will inevitably lead to an increase in the adoption of induction cooking appliances in homes and businesses in L.A. and beyond. As voted on by the Los Angeles City Council last year, no new buildings, including residences, may include gas stoves, water heaters, furnaces, or gas-powered clothes dryers. This move sets new benchmarks nationally and is intended "to protect public health, improve indoor and outdoor air quality, reduce GHG emissions, and set California on track to achieve carbon neutrality", said the California Air Resources Board (CARB).

So, if you want an eco-friendly cooking appliance that reduces energy costs and offers fast and even heating, an induction cooktop might just be what you need. Check out the 7 best induction cooktops, all available at Snyder Diamond.
