Last but not least, if you have a hard time keeping your kitchen cool in the summer, an induction cooktop is a great tool to have. They’re also less messy to use than gas or electric burners-splashes and drips don’t heat up and glue themselves to the surface since the burners get hot only directly under the pan, and their glass cooktops are easy to wipe off. This means they remain cool to the touch (except for residual heat from the hot cookware) and safer when in use, making them an ideal choice for close quarters, families with young children, or anyone who is the slightest bit forgetful. Unlike gas or electric burners, the burners on induction cooktops don’t emit any heat and literally don’t operate without a pan on top-plus, they automatically shut down when the pan gets too hot, such as when all the liquid inside boils away.

Portable induction cookers, in particular, offer all these benefits with the added draw of increased safety and efficiency. It also has several useful features, including a rare 10-hour timer, as well as lock, boil, and warm buttons, which we found were extremely useful for everyday cooking. It has an all-glass interface and a bright LCD screen that’s easier to clean and to read than that of our previous pick, and it takes just a little less room on a counter. Of all the induction cooktops we tested, this one was also the smoothest at maintaining a target heat or temperature level, so there’s less scorching or spattering and less need to hover over a simmering pot.

The 9600LS has 20 power settings and 20 temperature settings, the largest range of any burner we tested, and it maintains lower temperatures better than our previous pick. It costs a bit more than our former main pick, the Duxtop 9100MC, but the extra money buys you a slicker control panel, as well as the ability to cook everything with more precision and less frustration. The Duxtop 9600LS has the best combination of settings, consistency, features, and usability in its category.
