Induction cooking

March 22, 2013

This innovative cooking technology, through the generation of an electromagnetic field, translates into an improvement in performance, a reduction in consumption, an almost total absence of heat dispersion and an increase in safety in the kitchen.

Suffice it to say that induction hobs exploit the energy absorbed with a yield of 90% while traditional hobs, due to the nature of their operating principle, only yield 40%-60%, dispersing about half of the energy in the surrounding environment.

The operating principle of induction cooking can be summarized as follows: by placing a ferrous metal container on the hob, an underlying electric inductor creates a magnetic field which in turn generates a magnetism in the molecules of the container which causes it to heat up, the heat generated is then transferred to the contents of the container itself.

The electromagnetic field is generated only when the container is placed on the surface and is limited to the container only, so that the area around the container remains fast, guaranteeing greater safety and less energy dispersion.

Advantages of induction cooking:

  • Safety : there are no flames, the heat is released by the magnetic field and only starting from the diameter of the pan in which you want to cook. There is therefore no risk of burning yourself by touching the plate near the edge.
  • Cleaning : since the plate is not hot near the edge of the pots, no deposits form due to the accidental spillage of liquids.
  • Design : for those who love the modern and minimalist style, the induction hobs are beautiful, linear, smooth without buttons.
  • Speed: it takes practically half the time to bring a certain quantity of water to the boil compared to using a traditional gas or electric hob.
  • Control : it is very precise in regulating the power which takes place via digital controls that are certainly more sensitive and precise than the traditional knob control of a gas fire.
  • It is possible to cook with very low temperatures, deciding the duration of such cooking using the built-in timers.
  • Heat homogeneity : the heat is generated over the entire surface of the pot in a uniform and controlled way, thus reducing the use of fat for cooking and giving the dishes a better appearance.
  • Cost of use : no more than the consumption of a gas hob, electricity costs more, but the induction hob only comes into operation when needed, usage times are lower and efficiency is close to 90%.
  • Absence of danger of gas leaks : often in modern houses the boiler for heating is not in the house but outside, the gas reaches the house only to feed the hob. Using the induction hob at home there will be no danger of gas leaks, furthermore it is not necessary to make the two perimeter holes required by law in the kitchen which represent a thermal and acoustic problem.

The working principle of induction cooking can be to be so summarized: by placing a ferrous metal container on the hob, an underlying electric inductor creates a magnetic field which in turn generates a magnetism in the molecules of the container which causes it to heat up, the heat generated is then transferred to the contents of the container itself.

The electromagnetic field is generated only when the container is placed on the surface and is closed. circumscribed only to the container so that the area around the container remains fast, guaranteeing greater safety and less energy dispersion.
