I tried this new induction cooktop that's scratch and smudge-proof, and it might finally persuade me to ditch my gas stove

A black induction cooktop from Hisense on a kitchen countertop .

Induction cooktops offer energy efficiency, enhanced safety features, and ultra-fast heating, but there was one reason I was unwilling to make the switch from my gas cooktop. Induction cooktops, and glass cooktops in particular, can scratch and smudge very easily, and the cast iron grids on my gas range give me a sense of security that I can rest pans and move between burners without damaging what's underneath.

And so while I agree that induction cooking offer a heap of benefits, it's alright to hold out for something tougher-wearing. And I discovered just the product when I went on a recent tour of Hisense's home appliance factory in Slovenia.
