Introduction to Induction Cooking How Induction Cooking Works An induction coil beneath the ceramic glass cooking surface generates magnetic fields, which act directly on the base of the pots and pans. Instead of heating the ceramic glass, this method heats the base of the pan immediately, saving time and energy. Since the heat required for cooking is generated directly in the base of the pan, the cooking zone itself warms up only slightly.
10 Introduction to Induction Cooking Incompatible Cookware Noises during Cooktop Operation •• Aluminum, nickel-silver pots The electronic processes involved with induction cooking may create some background noises. You may hear a slight buzzing sound when cooking on the cooktop. These noises are part of the induction cooking process and are considered normal.
Introduction to Induction Cooking 11 Use the proper cookware and place it correctly on the cooktop. One or more of the cooking elements will not heat if any of the incorrect conditions shown is detected by the sensors located below the ceramic cooktop surface. Correct the problem before attempting to use the cooktop.
