Tayama induction cooktop ($69.99) from Amazon

Just about every cooktop out there uses either gas (open flames) or electric coils to provide the heat necessary for cooking. Take a look in your kitchen right now, I’d be willing to bet that your stove uses one of those two methods of heat production. But there’s another option out there that might be even better: induction.

And with this deal on Amazon, you get your hands on your very own induction cooktop for just $69.99.

This Tayama Induction Cooker uses, well, induction to heat up the included pot. How does this work? By turning on the cooktop, electricity runs through the current and generates a magnetic field. Even though it looks red-hot to the touch, the burner does not actually put off any heat, instead it induces molecular movement in the pan once it touches it. 

This movement then quickly heats up the pan. The cookware gets hot itself, not the actual burner. This is great for two main reasons: it heats up more quickly than a conventional cooktop and it’s also far safer than a conventional cooktop since the burner does not get anywhere close to as hot.

The Tayama Induction Cooker produces up to 1500w of power to heat cookware, and the included Shabu Pot is the perfect way to use it. It has eight different cooking modes and power settings to help make sure that whatever you’re cooking comes out perfect every time.

Recall above where I said that this technology works by generating a magnetic field to disturb the molecules of the cookware. This means that it does not work with cookware that is not magnetic such as aluminum, glass, or copper. But if you can stick a magnet to your pots and pans, then they’ll work perfectly with an induction cooker like this one.
