A few words about the operation of the induction cooker

The induction hob appeared in everyday life after the discovery of the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction. Electric current occurs in a closed magnetic circuit, while the hob does not heat up until you put special dishes with ferromagnetic properties on it.

Basically, if your enameled pot or cast iron skillet is attracted to a magnet, then they are also suitable for use on an induction stove.

There are several rules for choosing dishes for cooking on an induction hob or panel: in addition to the fact that all kitchen utensils must be attracted by a magnet, the bottom of the pan must be more than 12 cm in diameter and at least 2 mm thick.

Benefits of using an induction cooker

• The most basic and distinctive advantage of an induction hob is its high heating rate.
• Also, the induction hob is easy to care for. – you just wipe the surface of the device with a damp cloth or sponge. The usual stainless or painted surface of a classic stove in this regard cannot be compared with the glass-ceramic, which is usually covered with induction panels.
• The panel itself does not heat up.this means that spilled food or pieces of food do not burn or fry on it.
• Andinduction cookers and panels are more economical. They consume less electricity than conventional electrical appliances, because the entire burner, spiral or heating element does not heat up in the induction cooker. The current is consumed only to create an electromagnetic field in the coil.

Important:

All the stories that induction cookers are dangerous to health are nothing more than fiction, because the electromagnetic vortex field that this device creates is similar to that that occurs around a mobile phone. However, at a distance of 30 cm from the device, the effect of the field is not felt.

Choosing the right induction hob

Before talking about the most reliable manufacturers of this household appliance or finding out which model is considered the best, you should find out what induction hobs are.

By design, dependent and independent panels are distinguished. The first form a single whole with the oven. The latter, on the contrary, can be bought separately from each other.

You can also choose a hob with a different number of burners — from 2 to 4 or even more. It all depends on how intensively you cook.

The shape of the burners can also be different: round, different diameters, rectangular and even oval, for those who like to cook dishes in refractory pots and cauldrons. It is good when burners of different shapes are adjacent on the same surface, and a temperature maintenance zone is also provided.

You can choose a combined hob in which two burners will be induction, and two more — gas.
