Popular in Europe for years, induction cooking is now taking other countries all over the world by storm. A technology based on unbeatable precision, power and safety; it is the only type of cooking that can tempt you away from gas.
Unlike gas or ceramic radiant hobs, induction stove heats the cookware directly rather than heating the stove first. A wonderful consequence of this is that your home remains cool, with no heat emanating from your cooktop; something to appreciate in warm tropical weather conditions!
Induction cooking takes advantage of an electromagnetic field generated by passing an alternating electric current through a copper coil wire placed in an induction hob. The produced magnetic field vacillates and induces an eddy electrical current moving in the cookware.
That electrical current flow combines with the electrical resistance of the iron in the cookware, resulting in resistive heating for food cooking. As a result, pots and pans heat themselves with the induction of the electromagnetic field. Thus, your cooktops stay cool to the touch, while your food cooks faster with more precision.
Induction cooker makes pots and pans heated directly, so the energy used for cooking can be utilized at its best, turning induction stoves into one of the most energy-efficient kitchen appliances. Rather than depending on indirect conduction, induction cooker provides high power and a rapid temperature change in almost an instant.
With the unique direct heating operation, induction also creates a safer cooking environment and facilitates kitchen cleanliness, since you can touch and swipe the surface of induction cooktops right after cooking.
Yes. We conducted an experiment to debunk the belief that wok cooking is better on gas because a visible flame seems more powerful.

Some models are equipped with timer, so when the cooking time is up, the induction cooker will turn off, ensuring peace of mind.
Induction is faster than other cooking technologies, boiling 1 litre of water in 3 minutes. The induction hob has precise temperature controls for instant transitions from high to low heat.
Induction glass is made of “ceramic glass” that’s very strong and can withstand high temperatures as well as sudden temperature changes. Scratching, however, can occur if one is careless.
To be able to use with an induction cooker, your pots must have magnetic base. Simply look for the induction logo at the base of the pots or pans when you are making your selection.
In other words, you only need proper cookware that contains iron or stainless steel and usually comes with a coil spring sign at the bottom, marking it fit for use on an induction cooker.
You should check if you have a sufficient power supply and ensure direct power supply to the induction cooker. Sharing of power supply is not encourage as it will affect the performance of the induction cooker.
Ensure that you ask a qualify electrician for installation work. The power requirement for each induction cooker may be different, so always check before making your selection.
