In most households, the kitchen is hub, the true center of the home where most activity happens. As a result, it ends up being the largest user of energy in the home – 40% of the total usage, in fact. This is one of the many reasons it’s important to choose energy efficient appliances – not to mention Mother Earth will appreciate it. Your cooktop may be a good place to start. Gas cooktops use about 55% of the energy the produce when they’re turned on, while electric cooktops use about 65%. When you think about it, that’s a fair amount of waste.
Induction cooktops can greatly improve efficiency by focusing 90% of the energy produced for the task at hand. This type of cooking is based on electromagnetic energy, which stimulates iron molecules that induce 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.
DACOR is leading the charge in this revolutionary space with its Renaissance 36″ and 30″ Induction Cooktops. They are the perfect blend of sophisticated styling, advanced engineering and quality craftsmanship. Each induction element, hidden below the ceramic-glass surface, heats pots and pans quickly and consistently with precise control.
DACOR’s SenseTech™ Induction Technology automatically detects the presence and size of your cookware and matches energy transference with no residual heat loss, keeping cookware handles and the kitchen cooler. Unlike traditional cooking surfaces that heat up and stay hot long after the meal has been prepared, the glass-ceramic surface of the Induction cooktop retains only the lingering heat from the cookware and that heat dissipates rapidly when the pan is removed.
