I’ve never heard of an induction stove but I know you can get metal to some fierce temperatures quickly that way. Still, the whole thing is, it’s not scalable because without massive use of fossil fuels for generation, there won’t be enough electricity for millions of these and with all the millions of EVs charging away,

Induction plates are huge in Asia, where it just sits on the countertop.

It would be good for a camper.

Induction cooktops are electric as well, but they heat your food in a completely different way. Induction cooktops use copper coils, which create a magnetic current with the pot or pan on top of the surface. Instead of passing heat along from surface to cookware to food, induction cooktops heat the cookware directly. The result is an evenly heated pot or pan and much less heat energy lost along the way.

Because of how induction cooktops transfer heat, the surface itself does not actually get hot. That means if you touch it, no worries. Spill food? You won’t have to scrape it off after you’re done, because it won’t cook onto the stovetop. That’s safer, and it makes cleanup a breeze.

Going with an induction cooktop/range usually involves buying some new pots and pans.
