Wipe away cleaning time with the induction cooktop Unlike traditional electric and gas cooktops, Induction only heats the pan and the food in it, so the area around the pan stays cooler to the touch, allowing you to clean up spills and splatters while you cook. Get amazingly fast results with Induction With induction, heat transfers directly to the cookware and not the cooktop surface, making induction incredibly fast.Maximize cooktop space with the Convenient Bridge Element Connect two elements to create a larger cooking surface, perfect for griddles or large pans.
