Infrared halogen cooking surfaces are an alternative to induction cooktops for those who want to abandon gas cooktops, which are much less efficient in terms of heat dispersion and environmental health and more difficult to clean. Glass ceramic, in fact, is extremely easy to clean, practically unbreakable, impervious to corrosive substances, and perfect for even heat transmission on the surface. Infrared surfaces can be used with any metal pot, terracotta or Pyrex glass dish, unlike induction cooktops which, however, offer higher efficiencies and faster heat transfer rates. Countertop cooktops allow you to avoid drilling the surface, making them often the preferred choice for marble, stone, and cerian surfaces, and they can be easily moved.
