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.
Installation
Place the unit on a heat-resistant surface. Avoid placing it on or close to easy flammable materials. Maintain a distance of 20cm (7 inches) between the appliance and walls or other objects for ventilation.
Cookware
Suitable cookware includes:
- All magnetic pans such as Vogue Stainless Steel or Triwall pans.
- Mild steel or plain steel (black iron) pans
- Enamelled/non-enameled cast iron and iron pans
- Cookware diameter: 12cm – 20cm
Unsuitable cookware includes:
- Cookware with a diameter of less than 12cm
- Ceramic or glass cookware
- Stainless steel with no/weak magnetism, aluminum, bronze, or copper cookware unless marked as suitable for induction cooking
- Cookware with feet
- Cookware with a rounded bottom (e.g. wok)
