Is there a difference between an induction cooktop and any other cooktop? All I know about is electric and gas! There are those electric ones that are completely flat. I have known blind people to use those, but I have never wanted one in particular.

Thus, if I had an induction hob skillet, I could use it to do light frying much more safely. I use a talking induction hob from Cobolt systems, I don't know if those ones are available in the US.
