Induction stove tops use magnetism to heat up the pots, so with that said the pots have to have a magnetic property to it. Induction stove tops are much safer, with the only spot on the top that becomes hot is that spot that the pot is touching. Glass tops still use elements which cause the glass top to get hot and causes the pot to become hot so if the pot you are using is smaller than the burner all of that extra room is not being used which is loosing energy. Induction tops heat up the pot which heats up the stove. That means the top is safe to touch all around the pot without getting burnt.For great deals, i recommend going to theinductionstore.comThere you can get great prices on portable Induction stove tops and all the accessories for it.
