Water boils so fast. Have your veggies chopped and food prepped because once you start, Be prepared for things to cook quickly. You have to plan differently but it is worth it once you get the hang of it. You can't start and then ignore what's cooking and answer emails. Your cooking on the induction stove will be much quicker. Love doing stir-fry in a wok. I put my old lodge skillet to good use. Make sure a magnet will stick to the pan if you are going to use it on the stove top. The range looks great in our kitchen too.
