Fact Sheet: Induction Cooking
With more than a 70% market share, gas ranges are the most prevalent cooking method in California single-family and multifamily homes. Gas stoves have been promoted for years, despite their inefficiency and the increased awareness of gas cooking’s negative impact on a home’s indoor air quality. Induction cooking devices offer an alternative to gas cooking, however, delivering ~85% of the energy they consume to heat the food compared to ~32% for gas, according to the ENERGY STAR® program.
