Essentials to know
But before you rush to buy a new induction cooktop as an alternative to LPG gas cylinder for cooking, there are some essentials that you must keep in mind before buying.

Compatible Utensils Matter
Not all cookware works on induction. You’ll need flat-bottom utensils made of stainless steel or iron that are induction compatible.

Look At Preset Cooking Modes
Many induction cooktops now include presets for boiling, frying, and pressure cooking. These can make everyday cooking simpler.

Temperature Control Options
Good induction models allow multiple heat levels. This helps when cooking different dishes that need controlled temperatures.

Check The Surface Quality
Look for ceramic or toughened glass surfaces. They handle heat better and are easier to clean after cooking.

Check The Power Rating
Most induction cooktops range between 1200W and 2000W. Higher wattage usually means faster cooking but also higher electricity consumption.

Electricity Backup
Induction cooktops depend completely on electricity. If your area has frequent power cuts, it may work better as a backup rather than a full LPG replacement.
