Induction Cooking: What It Is and Why It Is Right for Your Home
On-Demand Webinar
Residential induction ranges and cooktops are the future of home kitchens, but they still remain a mystery to most American consumers. Too often, induction is equated with the low-performing resistance electric elements that most cooks dislike, though the two could not be more different.
This 90-minute class will help demystify induction by explaining why its efficiency, precision, and safety are superior to electric resistance and gas cooktops. Chef Mark will give a cooking demonstration to give you a real-world understanding of this powerful technology.
