I recently added some handy over the cabinet organizers to my kitchen and I wish I could have found these years ago.  Installing anything on the inside of a kitchen cabinet door can be difficult, especially if the door is not very thick.  These InterDesign smart products slip on easily and you can change them around at will.  Learn more about these handy kitchen and bath (or any cabinet for that matter) organizers in my InterDesign Over the Cabinet Organizers Review.

They sound similar and some people think they have the same function, but though they're both cookware items or electric appliances (they come in either format), they have a unique difference that you can easily spot when shopping for them.

If you've been thinking of induction cooking but replacing your current range is not high on your priority or budget list, there's a couple of ways you can break into this faster mode of cooking, without a major investment.

One option is to install a small induction cooktop on your countertop. This Summit SINC2220 12" cooktop is a nice size with two cooking zones, 8 power levels, pot detection sensor and nice safety features.   Beware - it would require installation though, so be prepared to read the manufacturer's guide for best final results.  Summit also has a one heating zone model, the SINC1110 if smaller is better for you.

If you're not familiar with induction, you may want to review my article on Induction Cooking to learn more about this cooking method.  Induction cooking does require special magnetic cookware, since the cooktop heats only the pan.

If installing a counter cooktop is not something you want to consider, a less intrusive option is to buy one piece of cookware and a one-burner freestanding or portable unit like this Sunpentown SR-951T Micro Induction 12" Electric Cooktop.  Portability makes this unit very convenient - you can place it where you need it, even on the patio.  I should note though that small portable units may be inadequate for extra large pans and more suitable for small-to-mid size pots, depending on the design.

Adding one or two extra burners to your kitchen can relieve range cooktop congestion and increase your cooking capacity especially when making large meals.
