re seeking new range
Hi
I have a similar need and was doing some research - induction cooktops have the benefit that only the pan gets hot - there is some heat transfer from the pan back to the cooktop but the cooktop itself does not specifically heat up and so cools down very quickly. Because the cooktop does not heat up food spills do not burn on. A couple of sites you may find interesting - the first an induction intro at induction-cooktop.com and then a second one with lots of info, I forget the link, but you can find it from induction-cooktop.com
Hope this helps
