Product Features of Induction Hotplates

With induction hotplates, an electric voltage is applied on a conductor spool
beneath the glass ceramics. The eddy currents create magnetic fields, which
directly heat up the bottom of cookware which can be magnetised.
This means saving time and energy, because contrary to common hotplates,
the cookware is heated up, not the heating element and the glass hotplate
itself. Due to these technical characteristics the unit need very short start-up
cooking time.
In addition, the heat supply promptly adapts to changed settings and can be
controlled in small steps. The induction hotplate reacts to changed settings
just as fast as a gas stove, as the energy reaches the pot immediately without
having to heat up other materials first.
The induction technology combines this fast reaction with the basic
advantage of being able to exactly adjust the heat supply.
As the cooking plate is only heated up indirectly via the bottom of the
cookware, over spilling  f ood cannot stick and burn and there is hardly any
danger of burns for the user. The glass ceramics is only heated up by the hot
cookware.
Once you take the cookware off the cooking plate, the unit automatically
switches to standby  m ode and after 15 seconds it turns off.
With the pot recognition function the unit detects whether suitable cookware is
placed on the hotplate. If this is not the  c ase, no energy is transmitted.
When operating the unit with empty cookware, a temperature sensor turns it
off automatically.
When switching on the unit without placing cookware on the cooking plate,
the unit automatically turns off after 30 seconds.
Pan bottoms do not have to be absolutely flat, as the warmth is produced in
the pan bottom and not transferred from the cooking plate.
