If you suffer from absent-mindedness or ‘brain fog’ as I often do, induction is probably the safest and most convenient option for cooking. Here’s why:

1. Induction cooktops don’t produce heat. They induce heat in metal cookware through electro-magnetism, lowering the risk of accidental fires.
2. Many induction cooktops (like the one pictured here) switch off automatically if they detect that cookware has been removed (and cannot be switched on if there is no cookware on top). No worries about forgetting to turn off the stove.
3. No gas leaks.
4. No flames.
5. Just wipe clean.
6. Highly controllable heat output.
7. Energy-conserving.
8. Works with any cookware that a magnet will stick to.
