Why Induction Cooking?
Induction cooking is the most eco-friendly and energy-efficient
way to cook. Induction cooktops use up to 90% of the energy produced,
which is much more energy-efficient than gas or electric cooktops.
Induction heats only the diameter of the pot so very little energy is lost. Induction
emits no flame, so less residual heat is produced in your kitchen. Also, the
induction cooktop remains cool to the touch where the magnetic surface is not
activated. Since heating and adjustments are immediate, you can save up to
50% of cooking time when compared to gas and electric cooktops.
Why is the Cast Iron Griddle ideal for Induction Cooking?
Induction cooking is based on a focused heating area. This allows the large
center cooking area of the cast iron grill pan to grow extremely hot while the outer
edges will become warm only due to heat distribution caused by the property of
the cast iron. This means you can cook your foods in the center of the pan and
keep others warm along the outer edges. Your foods will retain more moisture
and flavor. Also, the combination of high temperature generated by the NuWave
Precision Induction Cooktop* and the Cast Iron Griddle will allow you to sear your
meats quickly to retain more of their natural juices. Plus, there is less smoke
generated with this method of searing, leaving the surrounding air safer to
breathe.
*Your results may vary if you use the Cast Iron Griddle with an alternative induction cooktop appliance.
Will the Cast Iron Griddle become “seasoned” like typical cast iron
pots and pans? Yes.
Although the cast iron surface has been coated with a porcelain enamel shell, the
process of “seasoning” the pan still applies with the exception that this pan will
not rust like a non-coated cast iron will. Overtime the center area of the pan
where the heat is most intense will begin to retain residual oils that will season
your pan. When you first begin to use your cast iron griddle or when the sea-
soned area wears off, just apply a small amount of cooking oil (vegetable, canola,
olive, etc.) to begin the process.
