Introduction to Induction Cooking
How does this Induction cooktop work?
An induction cooktop consists of a series of burners called Induction Coils,
that operate based on magnetic principles. These coils will heat the cookware
itself, and not the cooktop surface, by generating magnetic fields that induct a
warming reaction in steel and iron-based pots and pans.
How is an induction cooktop dierent?
High Eciency: Induction cooking utilizes 90% of the energy produced, which
is far more energy efficient than a gas or electric cooktop. The induction coils
recognize the base of the cookware and will only heat the diameter of the pot,
reducing the amount of wasted energy.
Safety and Environmental-friendly: More than ten safe protection mechanisms
are designed to keep you safe, such as a mechanism to avoid magnetic field
leakage, the use of a pan without liquids, excessive voltage (145V±5V) or
insufficient voltage (80V±5V), overheating, small object detection, and a “no
pan” automatic shutoff. There is no smoke or fire generated during the cooking
process, making cooking clean and easy, beneficial to your home environment
and to the health of your family members.
Heat Distribution: Induction cooktops directly heat the cookware and not the
surface of the cooktop, allowing the heat to distribute uniformly around the
cookware. Heating adjustments are nearly instantaneous, reducing the cooking
time to about half that of gas and electric.
Intelligent: All functions are controlled by a microcomputer.
