How Induction Cooking Works
Unlike traditional gas or electric stoves, Induction Cooking utilizes induction heating to directly heat a cooking vessel, as opposed to using heat transfer from electric coils or burning gas. An electric current flows through the coil, producing a magnetic field. This field induces an electric current in the cookware which produces resistive heating.
Why Induction Cooking Is Better!
- This technology enables Induction Cooking to be faster and more energy-efficient. The large amount of heat produced at low voltage has thermal efficiency up to 94 percent.
- The Induction Cooktop heats only the diameter of the pan, so there's less wasted energy and heating begins immediately for faster cook times.
- There are no hot coils or open flame, so the risk of kitchen accidents is greatly reduced. When you remove the cookware, the conduction of heat stops instantly and the cooktop will not work without the proper pan.
- The compact design allows you to place the Induction Cooktop anywhere you need an additional cooktop.
The Induction Cooktop will work with steel, cast iron, enameled iron and stainless steel flat-bottom pots and pans with a diameter between 3 and 10 inches. Please Note: You can do this simple test to know if your current cookware will work. Simply place a magnet on the bottom. If it sticks IT WILL WORK.
