FEATURES AND BENEFITS OF THE INDUCTION COOKTOP
With an induction cooktop, the heat is not transferred by a heating
element to the cookware before being transferred to the food to
be cooked. Instead, the required heat is generated directly in the
pots and pans by induction current (electromagnetic fields).
An induction coil under the ceramic glass cooktop generates
an alternating electromagnetic field, which passes through the
ceramic glass cooktop and induces heat-generated current in
the cookware.
Using an induction cooktop presents the following benefits and
advantages:
• Energy saving due to direct energy transfer to the cookware.
• Enhanced safety since energy is only transferred when a
magnetic pot or pan is placed on the cooktop.
• Highly efficient energy transfer between the cooktop and the
cookware.
• Quicker heating than traditional cooking methods.
• Low risk of burning since the cooking surface is only heated by
its proximity to a cookware.
• Food does not burn onto the cooktop.
• Fine-tuned and easily accessible control.
