The amount of electricity consumed by an induction cooktop depends on various factors such as the power rating of the cooktop, the duration of use, and the specific cooking settings used.

Induction cooktops typically have power ratings ranging from around 1,200 watts to 3,700 watts per cooking zone. When in use, they draw electricity to generate magnetic fields that induce heat in the cookware, leading to efficient cooking.

To estimate the electricity consumption, you can use the formula:

Electricity Consumption (kWh) = Power Rating (kW) × Time Used (hours)

For example, if you have a 2,000-watt (2 kW) induction cooktop and you use it for 1 hour, the electricity consumption would be 2 kW × 1 hour = 2 kWh.

When compared to gas stoves, induction stoves cook food in less time because they are highly efficient. You must understand some basic terms before you can understand how it changes energy consumption. For example, a cooktop with a lower wattage will consume less power but will take longer, while an induction stove with a higher wattage will consume more power for a shorter time.
