I am new to induction cooking. It has changed my world! The cooktop heats up way faster than gas or electric but even better it cools down instantly.  When the food is cooked to where I want it you simply turn off the cooktop. No need to move the pan or anything. The other great part is cleaning the cooktop. Since it doesnt get hot except from where the pan sits (the heat is from the bottom of the pan, not the cooking surface) its super easy to clean! Wet washcloth and its back to looking brand new. Too easy!
