Stay Cooler in the Kitchen with Induction

Perfect Precision 🎯

While many folks believe the size of a gas flame gives you control over cooking temperature, factors like...

• ambient air temperature

• presence of draft

• thermal conductivity of the pan

• BTUs of your range

...also influence your cooking temperature. Which means the size of your gas flame doesn't tell you much.

An analogy, courtesy of my colleague and teammate Chef Rachelle Boucher: Imagine using an oven without a temperature function to bake your treats, an oven which only had the functions "low" and "high" for you to control. Using a gas flame to cook your food is similar. It requires a lot of guesswork.

Gas may be too low - and your food doesn’t cook through.

Gas may be too high - your food may burn. Even if your food doesn’t burn, gas gets wasted as excess heat.

With induction stoves, you gain precise control over your cooking temperatures. Many units can control the temperature, power level on a scale of 1 to 10, and/or wattage. And almost all of this energy goes directly to your cooking vessel. No more guesswork or fluctuating heat levels! Experience the joy of cooking with consistent and accurate heat, ensuring your dishes turn out just how you want them, every single time.

Stay Cool & Comfortable ❄️

Induction technology works like magic, keeping your kitchen temperatures cooler than gas. Unlike traditional gas or electric stoves that radiate heat around the cooktop, induction stoves heat cookware directly. According to the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy, “[U]p to 90% of the energy consumed is transferred to the food, compared to about 74% for traditional electric systems and 40% for gas.”

Say goodbye to hot and stuffy kitchens, and hello to a more comfortable cooking environment!

Fun fact: I was a personal chef for almost a year, and have been cooking for my family for more than 15 years. I always cooked on gas. But after switching to induction, I can’t imagine cooking how I used to.

While the kitchen is the heart of culinary creativity, it can also be a hotbed of discomfort and health concerns for both home cooks and kitchen crews. In the fast-paced environment of a kitchen, constant exposure to high temperatures poses serious challenges. The heat can be relentless. This can lead to chronic overheating, dehydration, and physical fatigue, which impact your well-being.

Even if you don't use a commercial kitchen, the emissions from burning gas in a home kitchen have been linked to increased childhood asthma rates. Add to this the fact that many home kitchen users tend to be women who are caretakers of families - whether grandmas, moms, aunts, or domestic help. These women are in the kitchen several times a day. And these women, more often than not, are racialized, minoritized, and overworked from life. Home kitchen comfort is an equity issue.

While the work that goes into making food is invisible, uncompensated, and highly undervalued in our world, it is the work that sustains us all. Without food, none of us would last. If you use a kitchen, you deserve well-being, safety, and comfort for doing the vital work of nourishing yourself and potentially others. Your health is your wealth. And induction offers substantial health benefits on many fronts.
