About induction
Induction heating is a different type of heating system
to the ones you are probably familiar with. With con-
ventional heating elements, the element heats up and
transfers this heat to the pan through radiation.
Induction elements, put simply, are powerful electro-
magnets. When a magnet material is placed within the
magnetic field (on the element), the element tranfers
(induces) the energy (heat) into that metal. The trans-
ferred enegry causes the metal (cooking vessel) to
become hot.
In this way, the heat for cooking food is produced
directly inside the pan, the hob top hardly heats up at
all, as it only receives heat from the pan placed on it.
Compared with conventional cooking hobs, the induction
hob is:
•
Quicker -
Full wattage of power is immediately
available at the heating zone.
•
More efficient / Economical -
when a pan is lift-
ed off, the zone stops heating immediately.
•
More precise & Responsive controls -
the hob
reacts immediately to your instructions.
•
Safer -
the temperature of the glass top remains
relatively low.
