Panasonic makes the first countertop induction oven
Induction cooking is great for budding chefs: it rarely needs preheating, it’s energy-efficient and it’s safer than conventional burners. Getting it has usually meant going for a full-size oven or cooktop, however, which isn’t practical if you’re in an apartment or otherwise can’t justify tearing out your existing appliances. That’s where Panasonic thinks it can help. It just introduced the first-ever countertop induction oven, giving you all the benefits of the technology in a relatively tiny space. If you want to grill a barbecue-grade steak, you can do it with a device that’s roughly the size of your microwave.
Don’t plan any summer meals around Panasonic’s compact cooker — the mini induction oven won’t ship until October. There’s also no mention of pricing so far, and it won’t be alarming if this world-first model carries a premium. Regardless, it’s nice to know that you don’t have to forego the latest in culinary tech just because you’re stuck with an old-school oven in your kitchen.
