One of the reasons I've preferred cooking with gas vs. electric is that you can still use your stove, even if the power goes out. After testing out a portable induction cooktop, I'm increasingly convinced that they're the future, but if there's a power outage, you'll still be out of luck.
However, I recently ate a meal prepared on the Electra Induction Stove, which can keep you cooking omelets and searing steaks even if the grid goes down. How does it accomplish this? Simple: It has a big-ass battery inside. But other than providing a backup in case of an emergency, the Electra offers a few other benefits, which could make it an early example of the future of home appliances.
