Induction cooking involves a radical change to the
traditional method of heating, as the heat is generated
directly in the pan. For this reason, it offers a number
of advantages:
Greater speed in cooking and frying; as the pan
H
is heated directly.
Reduced energy consumption
H
Cleaner and easier to use; spilt food does not
H
burn as much on the hob.
Cooking control and safety; the hob supplies or
H
cuts off the heat as soon as the controls are
operated. The induction hotplate stops supplying
heat if the pan is removed before the power has
been switched off.
Ferromagnetic pans are the only pans which are
suitable for induction cooking. They can be made
of:
enamelled steel
H
cast iron
H
specially designed cookware for induction cooking
H
made from stainless steel.
Other types of special pans are available for induction
cooking, where the base of the pan is not entirely
ferromagnetic. Check the diameter as this could
affect the pan detection as well as the cooking results.
To find out whether the pans are suitable, check that
they are attracted to a magnet.
The manufacturer will usually indicate if their pans are
suitable for induction cooking.
