What is the difference between induction vs electric
Induction: the pot becomes the heat source by creating a magnetic current with the induction cooktop.
Electric: electrical currents are forced through the coils and that heats up the pot. The cooktop becomes the heat source.
Cleaning induction vs electric
Induction is easier to clean than electric because only the pot is being heated. therefore the surrounding area won’t become hot. When something splatters it will hit a cold surface. It does not have the option to bake onto the cooking surface
