"  As long as I&amp;#039;ve been at Good Housekeeping there&amp;#039;s been cooktops and ranges with induction burners on the market but high prices always kept them from going mainstream. But finally, they&amp;#039;re becoming affordable! Just this week Samsung announced that by the end of the month, its new freestanding electric range with four induction burners will be hitting stores with a pricetag of $1999. What&amp;#039;s the deal with induction? It creates a magnetic field that transfers energy directly to cookware, bypassing the cooktop, maximizing energy efficiency, and giving you several other big advantages. First of all, it offers very quick response...turn off the heat and cooking stops immediately...so if you&amp;#039;re melting chocolate or preparing a delicate sauce like hollandaise you can avoid overcooking. Plus, the surface itself stays cool to the touch, eliminating both a possible burn hazard and burnt-on spills that are hard to clean up. One thing to keep in mind: You have to use cookware with magnetic properties like cast iron or stainless steel. Test the pots and pan in your cabinets or in the store with a magnet.    The Samsung FTQ307 Induction Range, which is outfitted with a convection oven and warming drawer, has an innovative control panel that allows you to choose the heat setting by gliding your finger and two great safety features: The burners won&amp;#039;t activate unless a pan at least five inches in diameter is placed on the cooktop and it will switch off if no cookware is placed on it within 30 seconds.
