Resumen: Creating a sustainable future is a transdisciplinary challenge where industrial electronics (IE) plays a key role by providing environmentally friendly solutions to daily processes. Domestic device electrification is a powerful tool for sustainable energy consumption and indoor air quality improvement. In this context, this article covers a relevant example of household appliance electrification with improved energetic performance: domestic induction heating. Domestic IH has now been on the market for 50 years. This article reviews the main historical milestones in electrical cooking appliances, and presents the enabling technologies and advances behind the success of current IH technology. Additionally, recent technological development advancements and future trends are introduced showing the potential of IH to help pave the path to create a sustainable future.
