Okay, let’s talk kitchens. Specifically, the heart of the kitchen – the cooktop. If you’re renovating, building, or just daydreaming about your next culinary command center (like I often do, usually around 3 PM when the caffeine wears off), you’ve…

Okay, let’s talk induction cooktops. Slick, fast, energy-efficient… until they’re not. There’s nothing quite like the minor panic that sets in when you’re halfway through searing scallops for a Nashville hot-inspired dish (yes, I experiment!), and suddenly, your futuristic cooktop…
