Introduction
The induction cooker works on the basis of an electromagnet that
creates a powerful, high-frequency electromagnetic eld. When cookware
consisting of magnetic material (e.g. iron) is placed on the induction
cooker, the electromagnetic eld transfers energy to the bottom of the
cookware, which causes the cookware and the food inside it to become
hot. The amount of heat generated in the cookware is controlled by
varying the strength of the electromagnetic eld. When the strength of the
electromagnetic eld is changed, the temperature of the cookware changes
instantly.
Advantages of the induction cooker:
Safe: the induction cooker does not make use of an open ame or
-
re. It also has a number of safety features, which allow you to enjoy
cooking with your family whenever you want.
Fast: in induction cooking, the cookware serves as the heat source.
This results in much faster and more even heat transfer, shortening the
cooking time by more than 1/3 compared to conventional cooking.
Versatile: the induction cooker has 8 preset cooking modes, each with
-
its own optimal heating pattern. These modes allow you to prepare a
great variety of nutritious meals.
Very user friendly: the simple and interactive control panel and display
-
allow you to easily adjust the settings at the touch of a button.
Comfortable: the induction cooking process is smoke-free and
-
produces less grease. Moreover, the cooker and the surrounding
area stay cool. This allows you to cook in a cool and comfortable
environment.
Portable: the induction cooker has a compact design and the cooking
-
plate stays cool. This means the appliance is always safe to use and
allows you to cook anywhere in your home.
