Overall, yes. Common safety advantages include:
- No open flame
- No harmful pollutants affecting kitchen air quality
- Automatic shutoff when cookware is removed
- Child lock features
- A surface that stays relatively cooler than traditional cooktops.
While the cooktop can still become warm from heat transferred from the pan, the surface stays cooler than a traditional ceramic top electric resistance range. The surface also cools much faster because it doesn't get as hot to begin with.
