Induction cooktops work by using electromagnetic induction to generate heat. An alternating current below the cooktop surface produces a magnetic field that induces current in ferrous metals of cookware above it, directly heating the pan. Induction cooktops offer faster and more even heating than gas or electric cooktops, with immediate temperature control and cooler surface temperatures that provide better safety and easier cleaning. However, induction cooktops are more expensive than other options and require induction-compatible cookware.
2.
Induction cooking is based on an electro-magnetic field creating
energy which heats the base of a pan positioned on the cooktop.
The electro-magnetic field is activated when material containing
iron (ferrous material) comes within range of the inductors
beneath the cooktop surface.

3. Introduction
• Induction cooktops boast speed surpassing electric,
temperature response rivaling gas, and safety and cleaning ease
that beat out glass-and-ceramic-top stoves.
• Pans need to contain ferrous material for induction to work.
Full stainless steel, aluminium, copper, terracotta or pyrex don't
contain ferrous material, so theoretically they won't work.

7. Benefits of cooking with an
induction cooktop
Efficient: Induction cooking uses 90% of the energy produced.
Induction recognizes the base of cookware, directly heating only
the diameter of the pot, so very little energy is wasted.

8. Safer: There are no open flames and
the surface remains cool to the touch
Quicker: Heating and adjustments
are immediate, saving you up to 50%
of the cooking time when compared
to more traditional methods
Even Heating: Hot spots and rings
are avoided because the bottom of
your cookware heats uniformly
Easy Cleaning: The surface is flat
and smooth; spills and overflows do
not stick to the cooktop, so they can
easily be wiped away

9. Electromagnetic Induction
Electromagnetic induction occurs when a circuit with an
alternating current flowing through it generates current in
another circuit simply by being placed nearby.
An alternating current is the kind of electricity flowing
through power lines and home wiring, as opposed to a direct
current, which we get from batteries.

10. Look at a few principles linking
magnetism and electricity:
Every electric current has a magnetic field surrounding it.
Alternating currents have fluctuating magnetic fields.
Fluctuating magnetic fields cause currents to flow in
conductors placed within them, which is also known as
Faraday's Law.

11. Heating Induction Cooktops
Induction cooktops work the same way: Coils located just
beneath the cooktop's elements carry an alternating current,
creating a changing magnetic field.

13. Induction Cooktops Pros and Cons
Induction cooktops work, you're probably wondering what makes
them any better or worse than cooktops with radiant elements, such
as electric coils, gas burners or glass-ceramic stovetops.
Appliancesconnection.com
14. Some of the pros and cons of
induction cooktops:
Cooking Experience: Induction cooktops
heat 25-50 percent faster and distribute heat
more evenly than radiant stovetops, and they
offer quick, fine temperature adjustment.
Safety and Cleaning: Cooler surfaces and no
open flame to ignite grease, induction
cooktops are safer and easier to clean than
their radiant counterparts.
Cost vs. Efficiency: Prices start at $1,800
and go up to about $3,500, compared with
$550 - $750 for top-tier electric cooktops and
$650 - $1,200 for gas.

16. Buying an Induction
Cooktop Tips:
Try before you buy: Some manufacturers offer cooktops that
have induction elements alongside radiant elements, or you can
test drive the technology with a portable unit for less than $200.
Buy a model designed specifically for home use: Induction
cooktops were originally designed for use in industrial and
restaurant kitchens.
Know what you're getting into: If you're replacing a stove or
remodeling an existing kitchen, be sure that your wiring, voltage
and amperage can handle the load.
Ask an electrician: Power grids fluctuate, and even modern
wiring doesn't necessarily put out its rated voltage.
