How does induction work
A magnetic field is generated in the appliance. By placing a
pan with an iron base on a cooking zone, a current is induced in the
pan base. This induced current generates heat in the base of the pan.
Easy
The electronic controls are accurate and easy to set. On the lowest
setting, you can melt chocolate directly in the pan, for example, or cook
ingredients that you would normally heat in a bain-marie.
Fast
Thanks to the induction hob’s high power levels, bringing food to the
boil is very quick. Cooking food through takes just as long as for other
types of cooking.
Clean
The hob is easy to clean. Because the cooking zones do not get any
hotter than the pans themselves, food spills cannot burn on.
Safe
The heat is generated in the pan itself. The glass top does not get any
warmer than the pan. This means that the cooking zone is considerable
cooler compared to that from a Ceramic hob or a gasburner. Once a
pan has been taken away, the cooking zone cools down quickly.
Induction noises
A ticking sound
This is caused by the capacity limiter on the front and back zones.
Ticking can also occur at lower settings.
Pans are making noise
Pans can make some noise during cooking. This is caused by the
energy flowing from the hob to the saucepan. At high settings this is
perfectly normal for some pans. It will not damage either the pans or
the hob.
The coil (1) in the hob (2)
generates a magnetic field
(3). By placing a pan with
an iron base (4) on the coil,
a current is induced in the
base of the pan.
