Benefits of Induction Cooking
5 REASONS TO CHOOSE INDUCTION
By providing rapid, controllable and precise heat and at the same time as saving energy, the benefits of induction cooking are immense.
Induction hobs have a smooth glass surface on which pots and pans are placed. An induction coil and gererator is located beneath the glass surface and by placing an induction-ready pan on an activated induction hob, a magnetic field is created. This magnetic field heats the pan and the food contained within it. The pan and the food inside will heat up, not the induction hob. When the pan is removed the magnetic field is broken and the hob will automatically stop generating heat and consuming energy.
1. Save Money
Automatic pan detection: energy only used when a pan is on the hob
Pan heated directly: 90% energy efficient compared with 40% efficiency with gas
No waste heat expulsion means cooler working environment and less ventilation requirements
No need for expensive gas safety interlocks - essential in catering kitchens using gas to cook
2. Safe
No hot surfaces: only residual heat generated from the cookware
Child lock facility: no unauthorised access - ideal for use in schools where safety is a key issue
No naked flames or glowing electric elements - helps avoid setting things on fire
Automatic switch off when boil dry detected or pan removed from cooking zone
3. Quick and Easy
Rotary controls: understandable control system
Rapidly heats up pan: no energy is wasted therefore cooking is faster than gas
Controllable instant response: ingredients can be cooked at a precise temperature
4. Clean
Ceran® toughened glass flush with hob makes for a wipe clean surface
Spills do not burn on meaning no lengthy cleaning times
Mobile units can be easily moved to enable access for cleaning behind units
5. Flexible
Suitable for all types of cooking: induction wok hobs ideal for Asian cooking
Extra work surface: when not in use built in induction hobs can be used as a work top
