Induction cooktops are faster, more energy efficient, and safer than gas burners and traditional electric stovetops. There is no open flame and no heat is lost to the air and the environment around the kitchen is kept safe and cool.
Induction cooktops are faster and more energy efficient than traditional gas burners. Additionally, the risk of accidental burns is decreased as the gas burner itself only gets marginally hot (due to heat conduction from the cookware), allowing for direct contact with less chance of damage. Plus, no heat is lost to the air directly from the gas burners, keeping the kitchen containing the cooker cooler.
You know…?
Cooking at home may have become safer and easier with the help of an induction cooker that controls and intensifies heat using electromagnetism. However, this is not a new phenomenon. Induction cooking has been around for decades, but until recently it had never made it beyond a restaurant kitchen.
The secret to induction has actually been around in scientific laboratories for some time, but for uses other than cooking. Excite a magnetic material with a magnetic field and you get heat. As long as you use cookware with magnetic properties, such as steel, iron, or other magnetic material, your induction cooker will transfer energy directly into the material and not into the surrounding space or cooker.
Some of the key benefits are:
SAFER – There is no open flame, red-hot coil or other radiant heat source to ignite fumes or flammable materials. This also helps prevent burns in the kitchen.
FASTER – Because energy is transferred directly within the metal pan, induction heating is extremely fast – even faster than gas!
CLEANER – With no grates or carbon buildup to worry about, cleanup is a breeze. Simply use a damp cloth and wipe down the smooth, easy-to-clean ceramic glass surface.
COLD – Because gas stoves produce unused heat that goes to your kitchen, which increases your cooling costs. With induction, there is almost no wasted heat as all the heat is generated within the pan itself.
MORE ECONOMICAL – Because 90% of every dollar you spend on energy goes straight into the pan! Gas delivers 55% of the energy you pay to the pan and traditional electricity around 65%. Plus, when you remove the pan from the induction surface, the unit immediately goes into standby mode, using virtually no power.
UNIFORM HEATING – Because the magnetic material inside the cookware heats to the same level of uniformity, there can be no hot spots. The electronically monitored pan maximizer feature allows any induction compatible pan to heat to maximum. Even the cheapest frying pan will receive the same amount of heat energy from the induction cooker.
Combined with good tech physics, you get a great kitchen. Its temperature control microprocessor, just below the glass, allows you to set the temperature at which you want to cook. It monitors 120 times per second and turns on and off to maintain the desired temperature. Cook hands free!
