Introduction to Induction

How does induction work?

An induction cooktop holds a series of burners called induction coils (based on
magnetic principles). These coils generate magnetic fi elds that induct a warming
reaction in steel and iron-based pots and pans. This way, the cookware itself heats the
food, not the cooktop surface.
What are the benefi ts of cooking with induction?
EFFICIENT: Induction is the most eco-friendly and energy-effi cient way to cook.
Induction cooktops use 90% of the energy produced, which is much more energy-
effi cient than gas or electric cooktops. By recognizing the base of the cookware,
induction heats only the diameter of the pot so very little energy is wasted. Moreover,
induction emits no fl ame, so less residual heat is produced in your kitchen.
SAFE: There are no open fl ames and the surface remains cool to the touch.
EVEN HEAT DISTRIBUTION: Hot spots and rings are avoided because the bottom of
your cookware heats uniformly.
EASY TO CLEAN: The ceramic glass is fl at and smooth; spills and overfl ows do not
stick to the surface, so they can easily be wiped away.
