3. Induction cooking
Advantages of induction cooking:
-
Greater speed in cooking and frying, as the pan is heated directly.
-
Reduced energy consumption.
-
Cleaner and easier to use; spilt food does not burn as much on the hob.
-
Cooking control and safety; the hob supplies or cuts off the heat as soon
as the controls are operated. The Induction
hotplate stops supplying heat if the pan is
removed before the power has been
switched off.
Suitable pans
Ferromagnetic pans are the only pans which
are suitable for induction cooking. They can be
made of:
-
enameled steel
-
cast iron
-
specially designed cookware for induction cooking made from stainless
steel
Special pans for induction cooking.
Other types of special pans are available for induction cooking, where the
base of the pan is not entirely ferromagnetic. Check the diameter as this
could affect the pan detection as well as the cooking results.
Checking pans using a magnet
To find out whether the pans are suitable, check that they are attracted to a
magnet.The manufacturer will usually indicate if their pans are suitable for
induction cooking.
Unsuitable pans. Never use pans made from:
-
standard, high quality steel
