Induction Cooker

What is Induction Cooker

An Induction cooker is a type of cooker that uses electromagnets for cooking. An induction cooktop typically uses copper coils. These coils can produce a magnetic current with the pot or pan on the top of the surface. In an induction cooker, the heat passes directly to the cooking pot rather than heating up the surface of the cooktop, unlike in an electric cooktop. This makes the pot or pan heat evenly. This also ensures a smaller energy loss during the cooking process.

Benefits of Induction Cooker

Increased Responsiveness
Induction cooktops cut out the added step of first heating up the heating element that then heats up the cookware. Instead, the electromagnetic currents heat up the pan itself which leads to fast changes in temperatures, for more precise cooking.

Precision Control
Induction cooktops heat up the entire bottom surface of the pan quickly and they have fast response times to temperature change, so you can go from a boil to a simmer in a shorter amount of time.

Easy Clean Up
Since the surface of an induction cooktop does not generate its own heat, it stays relatively cool compared to a radiant electric cooktop. If spillage occurs when cooking your favorite sauces or meals, the cooler surface can reduce baked-on, charred spills or burnt-on grease stains. Some heat can transfer from the pans to the cooktop, so be sure to allow the cooktop to cool completely before cleaning. Follow the steps for how to clean an induction cooktop in our helpful guide to keep your cooktop looking and performing at its best.

How to Tell the Difference Between Induction and Electric Cooktops

If you' re buying a new cooktop and wondering ‘how do I know if my cooktop is induction,' check the manufacturer' s information to see what kind it is. Otherwise, there isn't much visual difference between induction and electric cooktops with a ceramic-glass top. Both feature a smooth surface with outlined rings to indicate cookware placement. The heating elements on some electric cooktops may glow while induction cooktops will not.

To check, turn on the stove or cooktop without any cookware on top. If the surface heats up significantly or begins to glow, it' s a traditional electric cooktop. If it doesn' t get hot or glow, or only warms slightly, it' s an induction cooktop. Induction cooktops may produce a small amount of heat without cookware, but not enough to cook food.

The real difference is in how the cooktop heats, and induction and electric cooktops may have different installation requirements. Check the manufacturer' s details for more information on installation.

Parts Of An Induction Cooktop

Cooking Surface
Typically made of a glass-ceramic material, the cooking surface of an induction stove is a poor heat conductor. Hence, most heat remains on the cooking pot instead of getting transferred through the bottom to the surface. This gives induction cooktops one of their best USPs – the surface remains substantially cooler and can be safely touched.
A ceramic top induction stove uses a lot of energy to heat up the cooking zones, while glass top induction hobs are more energy efficient and durable. The cooking surface of an induction stove is extremely smooth, making it very easy to clean.

Induction Coil
Also known as the spark coil, the induction coil is the soul of induction stoves. It works on the principle of mutual induction that generates heat on the cookware by changing electromagnetic fields.
The induction coil of induction cooktops is made of copper and is located underneath the cooker surface. When a pot is placed over the cooking zone, the stove converts the electrical energy to heat energy by the induction coil to the cooking pot.

Temperature Sensor
A temperature sensor is a safety measure to ensure that the cookware does not overheat. Placed in contact with the underside of the glass cover plate of the stove, it senses the temperature in the heating area where the cooking vessel is placed over the magnetic coil.

DC Fan
While not as much as gas or electric stoves, induction stoves need ventilation. Steam, grease, residual heat, and smoke are bound to be produced while cooking. The cooling fan provides ventilation and prevents such residues from building up in the internal system.
DC fan or the cooling fan' s aim is also to help minimize the damage to the internal system of the stove. With its assistance, the control boards remain safe from overheating.

Control Panel
Induction stoves have a control panel instead of knobs like gas stoves. The control panel can be of three types: touch control, button control, and gesture control. It also features a small display where the temperature, cooking mode, and time are displayed.

How to Choose the Right Induction Cooktop

Power Settings
The number of power settings generally corresponds to the level of precision and temperature control. For context, most induction cooktops offer at least 10 power settings.

Control Panel Type
Though digital interfaces are the norm, induction controls can range from knobs to an LCD touchscreen or sliding bar or wheel you operate with the tap of a finger.

Cooking Surface Area
Cooktops come in varying sizes (24 inches, 30 inches, and 36 inches) with two or more cooking zones of differing sizes to accommodate a range of pots and pans. Some high-end models feature a flex zone or full-surface cooking to heat cookware across multiple zones (like a griddle) or anywhere on the cooktop, respectively.

Preset Options
Some home chefs might favor induction models that come with automated presets to perform specific cooking methods, such as braise, steam, or boil, as well as the option to create your own custom presets.

Safety Features

While induction is a safer cooking method, some models carry additional safety features like controls with child locks and sensors that' ll automatically turn off the heat if a pot spills over or foreign objects are detected on the cooktop surface.

Oven Function

Induction stoves with ovens offer similar capabilities to electric ovens, and may include more advanced features like convection, self-cleaning mode, and warming drawers.

Wi-Fi Connectivity

Modern, Wi-Fi-enabled cooktops can be paired with a mobile app to receive updates on new features and diagnostics for repairs or maintenance.

How to Cook on an Induction Cooktop

Turn on the cooktop

To get started, press the Power button on your cooktop' s control panel. The indicator light above the control panel will signal that you' ve properly turned the appliance on.

Place compatible cookware on heating element

Induction cooktops require compatible cookware made of ferromagnetic materials like enameled steel, cast iron and stainless steel designed for induction cooking to function properly.
Like material, the size of your pan is also crucial to achieving the best results. Choose compatible cookware that has a base diameter equal to the size of the heating element you plan to use.

Turn on the surface cooking area

Select the cooking area you want to use, then turn it on using the cooktop control panel. A power level indicator light should light up and a timer will begin, indicating that the surface is ready for you to select a cooking function.
On most induction cooktops, the power will automatically turn off after one minute of inactivity, so be sure to swiftly make your selections.

Select a cooking function

Using the control panel, select a heat setting. Consult your owner' s manual for model-specific information about your cooktop' s heat settings and functions.
Now that your induction cooktop is all set to heat, you' re ready to get cooking. Since induction cooktops heat quickly, be sure to closely monitor your food for doneness to prevent burning or overcooking.

Turn off the cooktop

Once you' ve finished cooking your meal, press the ON/OFF button to turn off your surface cooking area, then press the power button to turn off the cooktop. Before you begin to clean up, check the display for the Hot Surface Indicator. This indicator light will illuminate if the surface area is too hot to touch, even after the cooktop has been turned off.

How to Clean an Induction Cooktop

Properly cleaning an induction stove after every use is the best way to maintain your cooktop, keeping it safe and looking good. Dried or cooked-on food can lead to scratches or abrasions on the glass surface, degrade the cooktop, and decrease its lifespan.

After each use, allow the cooking surface to cool and give it a quick wipe with a damp towel, making sure to pick up any particles that may have fallen during cooking. For an additional layer of cleanliness, you can add a few drops of dish soap to a towel or the soft side of a sponge and give the surface a good wiping.

For cooked-on spills or tougher messes, there are commercial products sold specifically for this purpose. If you don't happen to have one of these on hand, a great alternative is probably already in your kitchen. Start by lightly wetting the surface and then sprinkling a couple of teaspoons of baking soda over top. Lightly scrub with a soft sponge or microfiber cloth, and then add a splash of white vinegar (a spray bottle filled with vinegar is especially useful here). Once the fizzing subsides, give it one more pass with the sponge or cloth. Finally, wipe clean with a wet towel and dry thoroughly.

FAQ

Q: What is the difference between an induction cooker and a normal cooker?

A: The key difference between induction cooker and normal cooker is that an induction cooker uses electricity to produce heat and cook food, whereas a normal cooker uses syngas, natural gas, propane, LPG, or other flammable gas. An induction cooker is a type of electric cooker.

Q: What is the difference between electric and induction cookers?

A: An induction hob works similarly to an electric hob, but it has coils beneath its surface that induce electrical current to generate heat in the pan or metal object. It uses less power and remains cold until you place a pan on it, meaning it uses less energy than other types of electric hobs.

Q: What is the difference between a slow cooker and an induction cooker?

A: Suggests that those with induction hobs will make greater energy savings when cooking foods like soups and stews if they use their hob rather than a slow cooker. For this group of people, the reason for using a slow cooker would be convenience rather than energy saving.

Q: Do chefs prefer induction?

A: Chefs love induction cooking because of the extremely fast heating and precise heat control provided through a high-performance glass-ceramic surface.

Q: How to tell the difference between induction and electric cooktops?

A: Despite their similar appearances, the most significant visual cue that distinguishes an induction cooktop from a smooth top electric cooktop is that there isn't a natural, heat-generated glow to indicate that the appliance is on.

Q: Is induction cooking worth it?

A: Induction stoves are up to 10 percent more energy-efficient than conventional electric smooth-top stoves and about three times more efficient than gas stoves. And compared with gas, they're better for indoor air quality. They have a built-in safety feature.

Q: Does induction cook as fast as gas?

A: One of the top-performing models in our induction cooktop review takes just 2.37 minutes to bring a litre of water to the boil, while a gas cooktop can take four minutes or longer. (This will depend on the gas cooktop and the cookware you're using).

Q: Which is better induction or ceramic cooker?

A: In short, induction cooktops are far more efficient than ceramic cooktops as they only heat the pan and not the surrounding air or the hob's surface. Induction cooktops remain cooler during the cooking process, the ceramic top only heats from residual pan heat and loses heat quicker once turned off.

Q: What is the must have for induction cooktops?

A: For cookware to work with induction cooktops, it must contain ferromagnetic materials. This means that it must have magnetic properties to work with the magnets in the stove. The simplest way to find out if your cookware is compatible is to take a magnet and see if it sticks to the bottom of the pot.

Q: Do induction cooktops glow red?

A: The way to tell which is you have is to turn a burner on. The electric burner will glow red and you'll feel the heat emanating from it. The induction burner won't get hot and the LED on the control panel will probably flash an alert.

Q: Do chefs prefer induction stoves?

A: Since only the cookware gets hot, more of the heat is transferred to the food—making induction the most energy-efficient choice. It's way safer, too: since the surface doesn't heat up, there's less risk of burns or fires. And if you spill something, it doesn't bake on, making cleanup a breeze.

Q: How can you tell if a cooktop is induction?

A: What Is an Induction Cooktop and How Does It Work? | Whirlpool
If the surface heats up significantly or begins to glow, it's a traditional electric cooktop. If it doesn't get hot or glow, or only warms slightly, it's an induction cooktop. Induction cooktops may produce a small amount of heat without cookware, but not enough to cook food.

Q: Do induction cooktops just plug in?

A: Induction equipment comes in two basic types: Cooktops that meant to be built as a permanent part of the kitchen. In case of which the wiring done will be permanent. And the other type is countertop units intended to be portable which can be plugged into an electrical socket.

Q: Do I need an electrician to install an induction cooktop?

A: Once you've settled on a model, it's incredibly important that the experts complete the installation. Cooktops and ovens are required by law to be installed by a licensed and qualified electrician.

Q: Are induction cooktops noisy?

A: It is possible to hear a pulsing, buzzing, or clicking noise from the Induction Cooktop or Induction Range when used on a low-power setting and not on a higher power setting. This is due to the magnetic fields in use and is normal. Noises may vary when using different pots or pans. Do not heat an empty pan.

Q: Do all induction cooktops require 220?

A: While portable induction cooktops can work with a standard 120-volt outlet, most induction ranges and stoves need a dedicated 220- or 240-volt circuit and 40 to 50 amps to operate. If you're replacing an electric range with an induction stove, your bases are most likely covered.

Q: Do you have to buy new pans for induction cooktop?

A: If a magnet sticks to the bottom of a pan, it's induction-friendly. If it doesn't, sorr-ee. Best pots and pans made from cast iron, steel, some enamelled steel, and stainless steel pans with an iron base or core. Glass, aluminium and copper generally are not compatible.

Q: Why don't induction cooktops have knobs?

A: It has no knobs. This makes for a beautifully smooth surface that, compared to a gas stove with its grates, nooks, and crannies, is exponentially easier to clean. Designers love those clean lines, and manufacturers like them because it makes the thing cheaper to build.

Q: Do I need a special outlet for induction cooktop?

A: An induction stove requires a dedicated 220-volt outlet protected by 40-50 amp breakers. If you are already using an electric stove, your current wiring is likely sufficient. If you are transitioning from gas, however, you may need to install high-capacity wiring, as most gas stoves require only a 120-volt circuit.

Q: Do I need a hood for an induction cooktop?

A: While it's true they heat cookware differently, it's still important to have a hood for induction hob in kitchen as you will still need to vent some level of cooking grease, oils, smoke, and strong cooking smells from your home.
