Move over, air fryers. The hottest kitchen appliance of 2023 is... the induction cooktop?
Recent concerns over possible health risks associated with gas stoves have given rise to these specialty electric cooktops as a safer kitchen alternative. Powered by embedded electromagnetic wire coils instead of conventional burners, they come with the added benefits of more precise temperature control, faster heat-up times, and easier clean-up.
If a built-in induction range (which can start around $1,000) isn't in the cards, you can give the technology a try with a standalone model for around $100 or less. Here are three top-rated portable induction cooktops that Amazon has on sale now.
