Viking is cooling things down in the kitchen with its new induction cooktops. Induction technology uses a magnetic field that reacts with the iron in cookware, resulting in a transfer of heat to the cooking vessel. The performance is as powerful as a professional gas burner, but the cooktop surface remains cool to the touch because the heat is automatically transferred to the cookware. The power is drawn only when the pots or pans are on the cooktop, making the product energy efficient as well.
