While Induction Stovetops and Convection Ovens might not appear to go together, both can be considered cooking innovations which have significant advantages over other cooking technologies.
Cooking Hazards and Disadvantages
First we should illuminate the dangers and drawbacks of various other cooking approaches:
- Microwave ovens are likely not safe
- Gas stoves and ovens have inherent ambient heating as well as the danger of explosion, and the complexity of wiring up a house for gas (if indoor cooking is desired)
- Electric stoves tops are slow to heat, and highly inefficient
- Even electric ovens are slower and more inefficient than gas (though less dangerous)
With all the dangers, inefficiencies and inconvenience (heating up a room while trying to cook a meal -- slaving over a hot stove as mother used to say -- it is a wonder innovations have not occurred earlier. This is not to mention the problem of refrigeration, which is significant.
