Induction Cooking

Induction cooking is a very efficient method of cooking as it reduces heat loss between the pan and the atmosphere by as much as 40%. This makes it extremely energy efficient, as well as offering immediate heat-up, unlike traditional heating methods which require time to get to temperature. The Induction cooker works by creating a magnetic field within suitable cookware, which causes an instant build-up of heat to cook the food.

Pack Contents

The following is included:

• Induction food warmer
• Instruction manual

Buffalo prides itself on quality and service, ensuring that at the time of unpacking the contents are supplied fully functional and free of damage. Should you find any damage as a result of transit, please contact your Buffalo dealer immediately.
