I have always used gas for cooking, however the kitchen in my new home is centered in the house and there was too much cost to have it piped in. After researching and learning about induction, I was intrigued. My new Frigidaire Gallery 30" cooktop is superb! Quick heat-up and precision cooking without gas! It's stealth when it's not being used, just a sleek black ceramic rectangle. No knobs at all! Unlike regular electric cooktops, the surface doesn't get as hot so spills are MUCH easier to clean up. As long as you don't drag your cookware across the ceramic top, it should stay looking like new for years to come! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
