The following site covers the Pros and Cons of inductive cooker
- By heating only the pan there is low thermal inertia, things get to temperature more quickly
- There is less waste of energy, it is claimed it is more efficient than gas.
- From our families experience, it has the problem of not working well for blind people who need to feel the heat.
- It safer as there are no hot elements to start a fat fire if hot fat spills.
