Electric Stovetop Education

Assemblywoman Gina Sillitti doing an induction cooking demonstration with TTPW at the Port Washington Public Library’s Earth Day Event

TTPW partners with Assemblywoman Gina Sillitti to conduct induction stovetop cooking demonstrations to demonstrate the easy and speed of induction cooking in support of the passage of the All Electric Buildings Act, which became law on May 2, 2023.

Unlike gas stovetops, induction stovetops do not release pollutants into your home. Gas-burning stove emissions are estimated to increase child asthma by nearly 20%. Induction tops also minimize fires and burns, and are much easier to clean.

Transitioning from gas to renewably-generated electricity is an essential part of fighting climate change. Homes and buildings are the biggest climate offenders. Natural gas consists of a high percentage of methane (>85 percent), the most potent greenhouse gas responsible for warming the planet That is why starting in 2026, the all-electric buildings act will require most new buildings in New York to use electric heat and appliances, instead of fossil fuels.
