How Induction Cooking Works

Induction cooking utilizes magnetic energy. The elements create a
magnetic field, which reacts with ferrous material in the base of
cookware – instantly transforming the pot or pan into the heat source.
The amount of heat transformed can be changed instantaneously. The
energy transfer stops just as quickly when the cookware is removed –
leaving the cook-top surface cool to the touch almost immediately.
Advantages of Induction Cooking
1 Induction cooking is efficient, clean and reliable. Because the
heat is transferred directly to the cooking vessel, no time or energy
is wasted.
2 Induction cooking offers a wider applicable voltage range; the unit
can adjust wattage automatically according to the power voltage,
avoiding temperature changes resulting from voltage fluctuation.
3 This unit offers several built-in safety features, including pan quality
inspection, no-load protection and safety shutoff. The unit can
inspect whether the material or size of pan is suitable. Also, when
the pan is moved away, the unit stops heating immediately and after
10 seconds the power is cut off. This induction cooker also has an
automatic shutoff function which powers off the unit if left on for
more than 2 hours.
4 Induction cooking allows for a wide range of temperature and
wattage selections, for more accurate heating and cooking. In
addition, a temperature control compensation feature makes the set
temperature more exact.
