Gas	Chef's preferred choice Precise and immediate temperature control Ideal for high temperature cooking such as stir-frying or searing because high heat can be reached quickly and cooking stops almost immediately when burner is switched off
Electric Induction	Heats cookware and not the cooking surface Cooktop stays cool and is incredibly safe Boils water fast, responsive like gas and can adjust and control the heat precisely More energy efficient than gas or electric cooktops Only works with cast iron or steel cookware. You can do a test with your cooking ware by holding a magnet to the bottom of the pot or pan. If the magnet stick, the cookware will work
