Induction cooking en 4 Induction cooking 4.1 Advantages of induction cooking Induction cooking is fundamentally different from traditional cooking methods, since the heat builds up directly in the cookware. This offers numerous advantages: ¡ Saves time when boiling and frying. ¡ Saves energy. ¡ Easier to care for and clean. Spilled food does not burn on as quickly. ¡ Controlling the heat supply and safety; the hob increases or decreases the heat supply as soon as the user changes the setting.
en Induction cooking Composition of the cookware base The material(s) from which the base of the cookware is made can affect the cooking result. Cookware made of materials that distribute heat evenly in the pot, such as saucepans with a stainless steel sandwich base, save time and energy. You should preferably use cookware with a flat base because uneven cookware bases impair the heat supply.
