Why Induction Cooktops Are Perfect For Compact Living

In shared flats or matchbox kitchens, space and speed matter. Traditional gas setups? Too bulky. Microwaves? Limited. Induction cooktops hit the sweet spot, sleek, quick, and energy-efficient. They heat only the cookware, not the room, which is a blessing in hot climates. With features like preset menus, digital displays, and cool-touch surfaces, even the most reluctant cooks find themselves experimenting. And for travellers? These are as essential as their toothbrushes.
