Introduction to Induction

How does induction work?

An induction cooktop holds a series of burners called induction coils (based on mag- netic principles). These coils generate magnetic fields that induct a warming reaction in steel and iron-based pots and pans. This way, the cookware itself heats the food, not the cooktop surface.

What are the benefits of cooking with an induction cooktop?

EFFICIENT: Induction cooking is the most eco-friendly and energy-efficient way to cook. Induction cooktops use 90% of the energy produced, which is much more en- ergy-efficient than gas or electric cooktops. By recognizing the base of the cookware, induction heats only the diameter of the pot so very little energy is wasted. Moreover, induction emits no flame, so less residual heat is produced in your kitchen.

SAFE: There are no open flames and the surface remains cool to the touch.

FAST: Heating and adjustments are immediate, saving you 50% of cooking time when compared to gas and electric.

EVEN HEAT DISTRIBUTION: Hot spots and rings are avoided because the bottom of your cookware heats uniformly.

EASY TO CLEAN: The surface is flat and smooth; spills and overflows do not stick to the cooktop, so they can easily be wiped away.
