Induction cooking can be used if placed on a suitable metal disk which functions as a conventional hotplate. Induction cooking is quite efficient, which means it puts less waste heat into the kitchen, can be quickly turned off, and has safety advantages compared to gas stoves. Cooktops are also usually easy to clean, because the cooktop itself does not get very hot. Induction cooking provides faster heating, improved thermal efficiency, and more consistent heating than cooking by thermal conduction, with precise control similar to gas. The induction elements commonly have heating performance comparable to a commercial gas burner, but are significantly more
