Principle and Characteristics

Working Principle

An induction hotplate works by heating a receptacle using the currents induced by a magnetic field. When an electric current passes througha coil, it generatesa magnetic field. On an induction hotplate, this magnetic field is then induced into the base of the receptacle. Foucault currents of very low intensity pass through the base of the receptacle. Despite their low intensity, these currents generate heat in the receptacle as they pass through it. The principle behind the induction hotplate is to multiply these Foucault currents while changing the direction of the very high frequency field in order to heat the bottom of the receptacle. The heating process is instantaneous, because as soon as the coil power supply is activated, the receptacle is heated. Food is then heatedthroughcontactwith the base of the pan.

For the induction method to function properly, the cooking utensil must be ferromagnetic. (See details in the section

Cooking utensils).
