What is Induction Cooking and how does it work?
Induction cooking is an advanced cooking method that employs the principles of electromagneticinduction.
When an electric currentis passed through a copper coil in the induction cooking area it creates an electro-
magnetic field. When theCooking Chef bowl is locked into position the circuit is completed by a special layer of
stainless steel in the bowl base. In turn this creates a large amount of thermal energy that passes throughto the
contents of the bowl, thus heating the food.
Induction cooking is extremelyenergy efficient because it only produces heat in the base of the bowl. Other
heating methods such as gas hobs waste almost 50% of the heat energy aroundthe sides of the pan. Indeed
the Induction cooking areaon your Cooking Chef only feels hot during and immediately after cooking because of
the heat transferredback from the contents of the bowl. All of this means that Induction cooking is very efficient,
very safe and very clean.
The cooking functionality of your Kenwood Cooking Chef is similar to using a saucepan on your cooker hob. The
added advantage is that the Chef will automaticallystir your food and regulate the cooking temperature to your
preciserequirements, leaving you free to confidently perform other tasks in your kitchen.
The Cooking Chef uses induction heating technologywhich is extremely efficient. When compared to cooking on
a gas or electric hob, you may find that cooking times arereduced or that you need to cook on a lower
temperature.Thisshould be considered when using your appliance for the first time or when experimenting with a
new recipe.Make sure that if you start cooking at a high temperature, you keep watching and reduce the heat
when necessary to stop food burning and sticking to the bowl, just as you would with your saucepan. Generally
the Cooking Chef will automatically heat the food to your desiredtemperature in the quickest possible time. It is
thereforenot necessary to set the temperature higher than you require in order to reduce cooking times. At this
stage you should also pay attention to the frequencyof the stir settings. When cooking at higher temperatures
you may find it necessary to stir constantly using stir setting . Stir settings and areuseful in
maintaining the consistency of your food during longer cooking periods on a low simmer.
