I wish I had an induction cooktop, because I hear stories that they keep the kitchen cooler and are more energy efficient. But especially because they keep the kitchen cooler and with our temps, any coolness is welcome.

The problem, besides the expense of a new cooktop, is that all pans don’t work on these new cooktops, but this Lodge Enameled Cast Iron 10″ Square Grill Pan does. Great for searing steaks or cooking panini (check out this panini press too!). Available in red, green blue and brown. Oven safe to 500 degrees F.
