These electric appliances are better for the environment and your health than gas ranges. Unlike a gas stove or a gas range, electric and induction ranges do not use a gas burner.
Banning gas stoves in the name of safety
Gas stoves may be worse for the climate than previously thought — so much so that Los Angeles is banning most gas appliances in new homes and businesses. California’s largest city joins more than 50 other metro areas and counties that have made similar moves to discourage or prohibit the use of gas ranges. (No timeline for the new rule has been announced.)
In a recent Bloomberg interview, Biden-appointed US Consumer Product Safety Commissioner Richard Trumka Jr. called the household appliance a “hidden hazard” because gas stoves have been linked to childhood asthma.
Thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, you will be able to get a rebate on your electric or induction range — but not today. The rebate program, while approved, is not yet in place. No firm timeline has been announced for when the rebates will be available.
These rebates could take a long time to appear. Need a new induction range right now? Not to worry: We found top-rated induction ranges and cooktops that fit a variety of budgets.
What is the difference between an induction range and an electric range?
Induction ranges and electric ranges are similar, but not the same. Electric cooktops heat the surface of your range, which then warms whatever you put on the stove. Induction cooktops are also electric, but they heat your cookware directly by creating an electro-magnetic current with your pots and pans.
Many induction and electric ranges cook food more evenly on low heat than gas ranges. These kitchen appliances tend to be easier to clean as well. We’ve found the top-rated induction ranges and cooktops in 2023. All of these ranges have at least a four-star-rating and include many positive customer reviews.
