Cooking food at home has just gotten safer and easier, thanks to the help of an induction cooktop that controls and intensifies heat using electromagnetism.
Traditional electric cooktops use some form of electric resistance to create heat, which is transferred to the saucepan and its contents. Induction cooking is based on magnetic fields: each ‘element’ generates a magnetic field that induces heat in steel cookware placed on top of it. In essence, the pot becomes the element that cooks the food, so the cooktop surface doesn’t get as hot as other cooktops. Induction cooktops have the same instant control as gas and are the fastest of all cooktop types to heat and cook food.
Look at this half made egg to realize the power of this technology:
Even better is this photo of the ice cubes outside the pan remaining unchanged as the water in the pan boils.
Amazing, right ?
This technology is virtually idiot proof. There is no risk of fire if food or grease overflows from the pan, no risk of burns from touching the cooktop surface, and no worry about dangerous fumes from gas or other cooking fuels. The ceramic glass surface can be cleaned by simply wiping off the surface with a damp towel.
Im so exited that I want to go out now and buy it. Where it is available in Bangalore, I have no idea !!!
Update : I have since figured out that you can either buy it in many major shops for Rs 2700 onwards or you could go to the grey markey in Majestic and get the same for Rs 1700 or less.

How much electricity does it consumes ?
I mean how much does it costs as compared to LPG
It is 2000W normally. More or less the same as a Microwave. but since the cooking happens faster than a gas stove, the net saving is high.
