Induction! cooking! is! a! cookin g ! method ! which! a! cooking! vessel! (pot! or! p a n )! is! heated! by! magnetic!

induction!rather!than!thermal!conduction!from! a !flame!of!electrical!h e ating !element!on!a!traditiona l!

stove!top.!A!magnetic!field!is!generated!from!the!coils! under!the!surface!of!the!cook!top!and! heat!is!

transferred!directly!into!the!pots!and!pans.!The!appliance!applies!the!heating!principle!of!the!magnetic!

field!inducing!the!w ho rl!electric!current.!A!whorl!electric!current!is!a!spiral!or!circular!pattern!of!electric!

currents.! It! utilses!the! magnetic!field! produced!by! the ! current!passing! the!loop! w h e n ! the!magnetic!

force!line! passes! the! bottom! of! the! cooking!vessel.!It!will! produce! numerous! whorl! electric!currents!

what!will!heat!the!cooking!vessel!and!the!food!inside!it!rapidly.! !

The!cooking!vessel!used!on!an!induction!cooker!must!be!m ade!of!or!contain!a!ferromagnetic!steel!such!
