The best wattage for an induction cooktop depends on how you plan to use it and the size of the cooking area. Here's a general guide:
- **1000-1500 watts**: Suitable for smaller cooking tasks, such as reheating food or cooking small meals. Itβs more energy-efficient and works for a basic kitchen.
- **1500-2000 watts**: A good all-around option for medium-sized families. It can handle most cooking tasks, like frying, boiling, and simmering, while being quick and efficient.
- **2000-3000 watts**: Best for larger families or heavy cooking, such as making large batches of food, deep frying, or boiling large pots of water. These offer faster heating and more control over high-temperature cooking.
In general, **2000 watts** is considered a good balance for most users, offering both power and versatility without being too much for everyday cooking needs.
