- Electric stoves, ovens, and other simple electric heaters. Resistance heaters don't care at all about DC or AC. And with induction you actually have to make the current AC with frequency around 50khz so I don't think it will matter that much in the grand scheme of things if you start with AC or DC.

DC would even be cheaper, you could skip the PFC front-end.

  You could surely build an induction heater that has high power factor without a PFC front end by modulating the output at 120Hz. The result might be a loudly buzzing pan, though.
