There are many benefits to induction cooking not the least of which is how fast it heats up. The Max Burton 6000 will heat water to boiling in under a minute.
Induction Cooking Is Far More Efficient Than Either Gas Or Electric
Since the cooktop doesn't generate heat all the heat is contained in the pan. An electric or gas burner generates heat and about half of that heat flows up the sides of the pan and into the kitchen. This means that induction cooking is twice as efficient as the other options. And it's ecologically beneficial because it uses half the energy than conventional cooktops.
Convenient To Use
All the controls are on a touch pad making cleaning your cooktop very easy since there are no buttons or knobs sticking up.
Induction cooktops maintain a set temperature because of the heat sensor in the top and you can use your cooktop as a slow cooker or deep fry at a constant temperature.
Safety Is An Additional Benefit
When you turn on your cooktop if there is no pan on it the element it will not start because it has to sense the pan before it will start up. If you remove the pan after it has been heated the element will automatically turn itself off because it no longer senses the pan.
The only drawback to induction cooking is you need cookware that has a ferro-magnetic bottom and good heat conduction. The good news is you most likely have cookware you can use already.
Induction Cokware Requirements
To determine if your pot and pans will work, take a magnet from the refrigerator and see if it will stick to the bottom of the pot or pan. If it does, it will work.
The best cookware for induction cooking is triple ply pots and pans. They are constructed starting with a ferro-magnetic stainless steel bottom. Then either a copper or aluminum core is added for good heat conduction and finally the inside is another stainless steel layer.
It's a popular misconception that cast iron cookware is a good heat conductor, they are not, but they retain heat very well. If you put one on the burner and crank it up high you will get a hot ring on the bottom of the pan and the edges and sides will be relatively cool so you have to heat them up in stages.
Cast iron dutch ovens work very well on induction cooktops as slow cookers because of their eat retention. The heat sensor in the cooktop maintains a constant temperature and by setting the temperature on one of the low levels and setting the timer you can let it do the cooking for you.
