Modern, energy-efficient electric cooking appliances have the potential to positively transform the lives of the nearly 2.3 billion people globally who rely on polluting fuels for cooking.1 Access to these modern cooking appliances leads to improved health and quality of livelihood, especially for women and children living in communities in the Global South through the elimination of harmful indoor smoke and reduced costs associated with inefficient cooking fuels. Additionally, clean cooking appliances play a crucial role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and deforestation rates, contributing to the creation of sustainable and resilient communities.
Induction cooktops, in particular, offer a viable, safe and efficient solution for households to transition to modern clean cooking as energy access grows and demand for electric cooking increases. The appliance uses electromagnetic energy to heat the cookware directly and cooks food efficiently and quickly when paired with the appropriate cookware. Its design allows flexibility in cooking many dishes safely and with less energy.
Despite the benefits and popularity in the Global North, penetration of induction cooktops remains low in urban and peri-urban settings in the Global South due to a lack of access and misconceptions that induction cooktops will lead to increased energy consumption costs and are incompatible or not user-friendly with cooking local and cultural food.
