Gas or induction? The doubt is long -standing but what seems established is that, in recent years, the debate on the gas stove and their environmental impact and on health has led many people to evaluate alternatives considered more sustainable.
It remains clear, in fact, that the gas stove, still widespread, release polluting such as the nitrogen dioxideconnected to asthma, and benzene, a carcinogenic substance. And not only that: how do we put it with the increasingly exorbitant bills?
Furthermore, even when they are off, they would continue to issue methane, The main component of natural gas, contributing significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. Easy and cheap alternatives to be installed, then?
Why choose a induction plan?
The induction kitchens offer a series of advantages compared to the gas stove. While gas plans disperse about half of the heat produced, those with induction guarantee efficiency up to 90%, only heating the contact surface with the pot. This translates into a faster cooking, a lesser waste of energy and a safer kitchen environment, free of free flames and harmful gases.
Here we talk about it in detail: how the induction hob works, the differences compared to the gas plans
The new hob that connects to the power outlet
Copper, a Californian start-up, invented a induction model that can simply be connected to a common power outlet. Unlike other electric stoves that require a 240 volt connection, it works with one voltage of 120 volts. Which would also allow you to say goodbye to the need for expensive electrical interventions to adapt all home.
According to what we read on AP, among its main advantages there would be:
A step forward for sustainability?
Induction kitchens represent a concrete solution to reduce the environmental impact of domestic cooking and the transition to a system such as Copper that could not only improve energy efficiency, but also contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gase emissions, promoting a transition to a more sustainable future. For now, such a system is only available in the United States. We will see if and when it arrives in Italy.
