Sure I'll give it a stab: An induction cooktop heats the pan via a coil in the "burner". Instead of a big resistor getting hot there is a coil generating a magnetic field. The field induces a current in the pan (the pans have to be magnetic). The current in the pan causes it to heat up.

Hence the "burner" doesn't get hot, the pan does.

A much more detailed explanation from Wikipedia.
