In the seemingly infinite world of kitchen accessories, a portable induction cooktop may not be high on your list of things to add to your gadget arsenal. Yet, these cooktops are handy for several reasons: They are perfect for cooks who want to create their own Youtube show because you can get that perfect shot from the kitchen island rather than the inconvenient wall-adjacent range. It's also a great alternative to wood and gas while camping, granted you've got a power solution available. Even if you're not camping and are at home with a fully-equipped kitchen, having the option to cook outside of it in, say, the backyard, garage, or even balcony is great when working with foods that will smoke or give off strong smells. 

Induction cooktops are also becoming more popular in general because they 1) don't aggravate conditions like asthma through the non-ventilated burning of gas indoors and 2) since they work through magnetism and don't themselves get hot, say goodbye to burnt fingers. To top it off, they're also 10% more energy efficient than conventional electric cooktops, and 300% more efficient than gas.
