Manner of operation
Whilst standard hotplates become warm themselves, in an induction cooker the
heat is created in the base of the cookware. The cooking area
1
itself is not
heated - it heats up itself only when something in a pan is heated on it and then
radiates heat back onto the cooking area
1
. (Reverse heating).
For this, an energy fi eld generates heat which can only be created in magneti-
cally conductible materials, for example, pans made of ferric materials. In other
materials, for example porcelain, glass or ceramic, the energy fi eld cannot create
any heating eff ect.
Suitable cookware
Use only cookware that is suitable for induction cookers:
■ Suitable are pots and pans with a base made of steel or cast iron. These are
recognisable either through the markings on the pan or if a magnet clings to
the base of the pan.
■ Unsuitable are all types of cookware made of metals to which a magnet
does not cling, for example aluminium, copper and stainless steel, as well as
non-metallic cookware made of porcelain, glass, ceramics and plastics etc.
■ Thin pan bottoms are better suited for induction cookers than thick sandwich
bottoms. The very short reaction times to setting adjustments (short pre-warm
time; fast metered roasting) are not possible with thick pan bases.
