Difference between an electric stove and an induction stove

An electric stove uses a heating element to cook food. These elements are located under the surface of the stovetop and heat up when connected to electrical current. An electric stove is easy to use and maintain, and is usually more affordable than other stove options. However, it takes longer to heat up and cool down, and the temperature can be difficult to control with precision.

On the other hand, an induction stove uses an electromagnetic field to heat food. The stovetop is covered with a conductive material, such as iron, which produces the electromagnetic field when connected to electrical current. The food is heated due to the vibration of its molecules caused by the electromagnetic field. An induction stove is faster and more precise than an electric stove, as it can heat food quickly and with more controlled temperature. However, it is more expensive and requires special pots and pans that are conductive of electricity to work properly.

In summary, an electric stove is more affordable and easy to use, but less precise and fast than an induction stove. On the other hand, an induction stove is faster and more precise, but more expensive and requires special pots and pans.
