Introduction to Induction Cooking

Induction cooking is a safe, advanced, efficient, and economical cooking technology. It works by electromagnetic vibrations generating heat directly in the pan, rather than  indirectly through heating the glass surface. The glass becomes hot only because the pan eventually warms it up.

Iron pot
Magnetic circuit
Ceramic glasspiate
Induction coil
Induced currents

Choosing the right Cookware

You need to choose the right cookware for an induction cooktop, using only cookware with a base suitable for induction cooking.
Look for the induction symbol on the packaging or on the bottom of the pan. You can check whether your cookware is suitable by carrying out the magnet test.
Move a magnet towards the base of the pan. If it is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction. If you do not have a magnet, put some water in the pan you want to check, and  then if Y does not flash in the display and the water is heating, the pan is suitable.
Cookware made from the following materials is not suitable: pure stainless steel, aluminum or copper without a magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, and  earthenware.
Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base.

Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth, sits fiat against the glass, and is the same size as the cooking zone. Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.

Always lift pans off the cooktop- do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.

For maximum efficiency the pot should be the same size as the cooking zone, with the pan centered on the cooking zone. Pots with a diameter larger than the cooking zone should not be used.
Whilst there is no maximum weight limit specified for each cooking zone, if the pot used is the same diameter as the cooking zone then a full pot may be used safely. Should  it be necessary to use a smaller pot, the table below shows the minimum allowable pot dimensions for each cooking zone:

THE USE OF EITHER POOR QUALITY POT OR ANY INDUCTION ADAPTOR PLATE FOR NON- MAGNETIC COOKWARE RESULTS IN A WARRANTY BREACH.
IN THIS CASE, THE MANUFACTURER CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED TO THE HOB AND/OR ITS ENVIRONMENT.

Before using your New Cooktop

Cooking Guidelines

Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly if you’re using the Boost function of the induction cooktop.
At extremely high temperatures, oil and fat will ignite spontaneously and this presents a serious fire risk.

Cooking Tips

• When food comes to the boil, reduce the power setting.
• Using a lid will reduce cooking times and save energy by retaining the heat.
• Minimize the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.
• Start cooking on a high setting and reduce the setting when the food has heated through.

Simmering, cooking rice

• Simmering occurs below boiling point, at around 85°C, when bubbles are just rising occasionally to the surface of the cooking liquid. It is the key to delicious soups and  tender stews because the flavors develop without overcooking the food. You should also cook egg-based and flour-thickened sauces below boiling point.
• Some tasks, including cooking rice by the absorption method, may require a setting higher than the lowest setting to ensure the food is cooked properly in the time recommended.

Searing steak
To cook juicy flavorsome steaks:

1. Stand the meat at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking.
2. Heat up a heavy-based frying pan.
3. Brush both sides of the steak with oil. Drizzle a small amount of oil into the hot pan and then lower the meat onto the hot pan.
4. Tum the steak only once during cooking. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of the steak and the doneness you prefer. Times may vary from about 2 – 8 minutes per side. Press the steak to gauge how cooked it is – the firmer it feels the more ‘well done’ it will be.
5. Leave the steak to rest on a warm plate for a few minutes to allow it to relax and become tender before serving.

For stir-frying

1. Choose an induction compatible flat-based wok or a large frying pan.

2. Have all the ingredients and equipment ready. Stir-frying should be quick.
   If cooking large quantities, cook the food in several smaller batches.

3. Preheat the pan briefly and add two tablespoons of oil.

4. Cook any meat first, put it aside and keep warm.

5. Stir-fry the vegetables. When they are hot but still crisp, turn the cooking zone to a lower setting, return the meat to the pan and add your sauce.

6. Stir the ingredients gently to make sure they are heated through.

7. Serve immediately.
