I prefer ceramic over induction.

Induction works similar to microwave. They did not heat your pans instead they heat your food. Also u need to check your pans material. Not all pans works for induction. The material could block the induction wave so u cant cook at all.

Ceramic on the other hands works similar like fire. It use heating element. It heats ur pans and u can cook ur meals. Different is some ceramic heating element not strong enough to heat up ur pans. So check their heats rating first before u buy the cooker.

In term of electric bill, i dont see any significant increase. Lol.

Induction works differently from microwave.

Induction does not heat foods directly like microwave but using magnetic wave to heat up the cooking utensils which must contain iron. Google it.

Households normally don't realize it. I am guessing majority (if not all) pots and pans available in a household would be fine.

We checked and all of the la gourmet and le creusets are fine. Even the tefal frying pan is good for induction cooking.

Just use a magnet to check whether any cookware works with induction cooker. If the bottom of the cookware sticks to magnet, then it works.

If your cookware does not work, you could buy and put a adapter iron plate underneath the cookware to make it compatible. But it is not as efficient as those cookwares which are already ferromagnetic.
