Discover the future of cooking with induction technology!
Induction cooktops are faster, safer, and more energy-efficient than traditional gas or electric stovetops. With our free lending program, you can borrow an induction cooktop to test it out at home—risk-free. Now is your chance to try out this incredible technology for yourself!
How It Works:
- Submit an Application: Fill out our quick application form to request an induction cooktop or call us at 707-269-1700. Reservations are recommended but not required.

- Try It Out: Experiment with induction cooking for up to two weeks in the comfort of your own home. Use the provided magnet to test your cookware compatibility.
Benefits of Induction Cooking
- Speed: Water boils up to 50% faster than on a traditional stove.
- Energy Efficiency: Only the pot gets heated, reducing wasted energy.
- Safety: No open flames or exposed heating elements.
- Better Air Quality: Reduces indoor air pollutants compared to gas stoves.
Cooktops Available to Borrow:
- Portable Induction Cooktop: A compact, single-burner model ideal for small kitchens or testing the technology.
- Double Burner Induction Cooktop: A dual-burner option for a more versatile cooking experience.
Is my cookware compatible?
Induction cooking requires cookware with magnetic properties. Here’s how to check:
- Cookware Material: Stainless steel, cast iron, and enameled cast iron typically work. Copper, glass, and aluminum without a magnetic base do not.
- Magnet Test: Hold a magnet to the bottom of your cookware. If it sticks, it’s compatible.
