What is Induction cooking?

Induction uses electromagnatic energy - instead of electric heating coils or gas burners - for a faster, cleaner, safer and yes, more energy efficient way to cook.

Why Choose induction?

While not new technology, an induction range or cooktop serves up a lot of advantages for the modern home.

Fast

Your cookware heats faster. How fast? How about boiling a pot of water in under two minutes fast?(1)

Precise

Because induction responds to temperature changes quickly, your food cooks evenly and accurately.

Safe

Surfaces remain cool to the touch - no open flames or hot coils. No fumes, either, so it's air quality-friendly.

Easy

Smooth glass-ceramic surfaces cool quickly, and are easier to wipe down and keep clean.

Efficient

No radiant heat means minimal heatloss, making induction more efficient than both gas and electric(2)

From more precise control over heat, better energy efficiency, and no open flames raising kitchen temperatures to potentially unhealthy levels, induction cooking is fast becoming the chef's kiss in restaurants across Canada.

How LG leads the way in induction

How LG leads the way in induction

LG induction ranges and cooktops were the first in the industry to achieve ENERGY STAR® certification. Look to us as we expand our line of some of the most energy efficient, reliable and innocative induction appliances.

How Induction stacks up

See the difference induction can make in not only how you cook but also how it could save you energy.

Gas

Gas flames heat not just your cookware and food, but also the surrounding air. That's a lot of energy not going where you need it.

Radiant

Electric coils generate their own heat. As with gas, some energy is lost to the cooktop surface and the area around it.

Induction

Induction uses electromagnetism, so your cookware, and not the cooktop surface, gets hot. That means very little energy loss.

Your induction cooking checklist

Before purchasing an induction range or cooktop, there are some important things to keep in mind.
