Many cooking practices have changed therefore, now many manufacturers have jumped into the market to introduce technologically improved appliances and equipment. While everything is being digitally improved cookingware also got some variations. A few years ago our stoves only were meant to function when connected to the gas source, then electric stoves came. Although electric stoves were more efficient they consumed a lot of power so for some people it was difficult to afford such high energy consumption.
INDUCTION COOKTOPS:
Now the developers have made such a cooktop for the customers and consumers that will not only conserve energy and heat but it is far more efficient as well. You must have heard a lot about induction cooktops, they work on the principle of electromagnetism. This cooktop uses electromagnetic radiation to heat the pan. The advantage of this appliance is that it won’t waste any extra energy in heating the hop rather it would directly heat the pan, by this not only energy but time will be saved.
In this article, we have shared many benefits of using an induction cooktop. If you want to read about the specification of other kitchen appliances read reviews here.
YOU CAN COOK IN LESS TIME:
Induction cookers do reduce the cooking time this has been proved by testing. The same amount of water was boiled on three different types of cooking ops including gas induction and electric and water boiled the fastest on the induction top, almost 15-20 minutes faster than the gas and 10-15 minutes faster than the electric cooking appliance.
PRESERVE ENERGY AND HELP MAKE THE ENVIRONMENT BETTER:
Cooking on gas stoves can be dangerous for our environment as well as it not only reduces the non-renewable sources of energy and also burning coaletc could be harmful to our environment. The common sources of heat in the form of gas are methane and liquified petroleum, we can preserve these sources by reducing their use and the best compensation is through induction cookers are more efficient and user-friendly.
IT ONLY HEATS THE COOKING WARE:
One of the reasons why induction stoves are more efficient is that they only heat the pot or the pan which means no heat is transferred to the surroundings and other parts of the stove aswell. Now when you cook on a gas stove the flames first heat the hob, once it is heated slowly the lower bottom of the pan would heat which will take quite a lot of time. This doesn’t happen in the case of an induction stove. This feature makes them very safe to use because if by accident you touch the cooktop it would not burn your fingers or hand. Although not very safe for the children around but still much safer than the flames.
WHICH PANS TO USE?
After readingabout so many benefits of using an induction cooktop you must be considering buying one, but while buying you have to keep in mind that not all pans and pots are suitable to be placed upon these tops because they won’t be able to heat pans made of every material. As we already know that these cooktops heat the pan with the help of electromagnetic radiation therefore the pan must be composed of iron so that it could allow the magnetic field generated to pass through the bottom of the pan. Stainless steel and aluminum pan wontto be heated by them, so you don’t have to waste money on buying these pans as they won’t cook for you. You can recognize the pans easily by locating certain circular patterns made on the bottom or by testing their magnetic efficiency with the help of a magnet.
SIZE RANGE:
The induction cooktops come in different sizes. The size ranges between 20-90 cm. There is a huge variation in the size and you can select based on your preference. These tops are very sleek and elegant, you can control the functions with a single touch. You can find many portable cooktops in the market that you can carry with you on picnics or long trips.
