We continue to be surprised and inspired by the generosity and support that we receive from our local utility company SMUD. They surprised us at our January 2025 meeting at Luigi's Pizza Parlor with a raffle prize: an induction cooktop!

Features and benefits of an induction cooktop/stove:
Induction heats up a pot of water nearly twice as fast as gas or standard electric.
More energy-efficient than traditional electric cooktops, which can save you money on your electric bill.
Since its surface is completely sealed, it's safer because there’s no exposed heating element or open flame. And, unless there’s cookware on it, the cooktop doesn’t heat up—even if it’s turned on.
Induction cooktops produce zero kitchen pollution. Natural gas stoves can release carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and other harmful pollutants into the air.
With its smooth surface, cleaning up is a snap.
Precise, digital controls give you the exact heat you want, every time.
Your kitchen stays cooler and less heat is wasted, since the cooktop’s heat is focused on the pan and nowhere else.
One luck family won their very own induction cooktop and pot to try out! We had a great time at our monthly meeting and hope to see you soon!
Additionally, SMUD has generously donated $2,000 to our ongoing programming in 2025. They help CHNA bring great events to our community like our Garden Tour, Community BBQ, and Park Fest. Check out their website or visit them at their booth at one of our upcoming events!
