Cooking by induction

Advantages of induction cooking

Induction cooking constitutes a radical change in the traditional form of heating, given that the heat is generated directly in the pan. Therefore, it has a numb advantages:

D	Greater	speed in cooking and frying;as the pan is heated directly.
D	Uses less energy
D	Greater	convenience and cleanliness;food spilled on the cooktop surface
	will not	burn.
