Induction Cooktop Operation

Induction Cooking

Induction cooking has been used in Europe for decades by professionals and homeowners demanding the best in performance.

In induction cooking, the electricity flows through a coil to produce a magnetic field under the ceramic cooktop.

When a cast iron or magnetic stainless steel pan is placed on the glass-ceramic surface, currents are induced in the cooking utensil and instant heat is generated due to the resistance of the pan. Induction only works with cooking vessels made of magnetic materials, such as cast iron and magnetic stainless steel (it will not work with aluminum or copper pots). To test the cookware, a magnet must stick to the bottom of the vessel in order to function.

BENEFITS OF INDUCTION COOKING

Speed. Heating is immediate. Adjustment is immediate. No slow change from heating up to cooling down. Heats up to 50% faster than gas or electric cooktops.

Controllability. Homogeneous cooking to distribute the heat perfectly (no hot or burned spots). You can keep sauces and chocolates melted at 50 watts of power, or with the touch of a finger, activate Hi-Power mode and boil water in half the time you normally do.

Energy efficiency. Energy is supplied directly to the cooking vessel so 85% to 90% of the electric energy gets used to cook. This means a cooler kitchen and cooktop.

Easy to clean. The surface remains relatively cool, so overflows and spills do not stick or burn onto the element. The surface will be warm after removing a saucepan with hot contents. Wait until the surface cools to clean with soapy water.
