As technology in and out of the kitchen continues to advance, so do the wants and needs of your prospective buyers. Appliances have a come a long way since their inception, and furthermore, recent improvements by way of induction cooking.

Let’s start by answering these two questions: 1. What is induction cooking? And, 2. Why will it make a difference in your units?

Induction cooking, when first brought to market, made savvy cooks feel uncomfortable. For, the trauma of electric cooktops – that lack of control that surfaced in an electric burner’s teetering see-saw of either flagrant or lackluster expulsions of heat – made the kitchen more stressful than not.

So, when induction appeared, in its nearly flush to countertop appearance – people thought “oh no, not this again.” However, induction cooking IS NOT electric cooking. And, induction cooking IS the way of the future.

Induction cooktops use magnetic energy to more efficiently cook the food you’re planning to serve. By using electromagnetic fields below a glass surface, heat is able to transfer directly to the bottom of a magnetic pan. This cuts out any intermediate loss of heat that comes from either a gas flame or an electric coil. Similarly, the precision application of these electromagnetic fields allows for more control over the heat you choose to apply, and also a much quicker cooking time. As previously mentioned, any transitional heat loss is null and void with induction technology.

Sauté, simmer, fry, or boil with an attention and rigor that is left more to the efficiency of this appliance, than to the sweat beads currently building on your upper lip from today’s taxing work in the kitchen.

The buyers’ market is taking notice of this rightful trend, and homeowners looking to invest in a luxury condominium in the Boston area are likewise paying attention to the appliances developers are selecting.

Appliance manufacturers such as Gaggenau, Miele, Bosch, and Thermador all have Consumer Report rated and approved induction cooktop surfaces that offer the luxury market an answer to the typical gas range. Furthermore, the price of induction cooktops has come down as the market continues to output wider ranges and options for this specific product.

The ease of use and even more ease in clean up make the induction cooktop a five-star solution to your multi-unit developments gap between acceptance and perfection.
