Induction hot plates are better than electric and gas hot plates. Induction hot plates are safer on the touch and spread the heat uniformly through the cookware.nnOn the other hand, electric hot plates are also great, because they don't require magnetic bottom cookware for cooking.nnIf you move a lot, the gas plate is better for you, they run on propane gas, and you can use them anywhere you like on trips, camping, etc.
