ABOUT INDUCTION COOKING
Induction cooking has been used for decades in restaurants and
commercial kitchens worldwide. Only now, has the induction revolution
been made available at an affordable cost for everyday household use.
How does induction work?
Induction cooking uses electromagnetic energy to heat cookware. When
cookware is placed on an induction cooktop and the cooker is turned
on, the coil inside the induction unit produces an alternating magnetic
field, which flows through the cookware. Molecules in the cookware
vibrate rapidly, causing the cookware to become hot almost instantly.
What types of cookware can be used?
As explained above, induction cooking works by electromagnetic
energy. Induction Cooktops will operate with a variety of cookware
but must have a ferrous magnetic bottom such as cast iron, enameled
steel or magnetic stainless steel. The interior or cooking surface of the
cookware can be aluminum or other non-ferrous material with or without
a non-stick coating, as long as the bottom is ferrous.
It is very easy to check whether or not your cookware will work by using
a fridge magnet or any other permanent magnet. If the magnet sticks
to the bottom of the pot/pan, the cookware will work on an induction
cooktop.
