How does induction work?

An induction cooktop holds a series of
burners called induction coils (based on
magnetic principles). These coils gener-
ate magnetic fields that induct a warm-
What are the benefits of cooking with an induction cooktop?
Efficient: Induction cooking is the most
eco-friendly and energy-efficient way
to cook. Induction cooktops use 90%
of the energy produced, which is much
more energy-efficient than gas or elec-
tric cooktops. By recognizing the base of
the cookware, induction heats only the
diameter of the pot so very little energy
is wasted. Moreover, induction emits no
flame, so less residual heat is produced
in your kitchen.
Safe: There are no open flames and the
surface remains cool to the touch.

ing reaction in steel and iron-based pots
and pans. This way, the cookware itself
heats the food, not the cooktop surface.
Fast: Heating and adjustments are im-
mediate, saving you at least 50% of
cooking time when compared to gas and
electric.
Even heat distribution: Hot spots and
rings are avoided because the bottom of
your cookware heats uniformly.
Easy to clean: The surface is flat and
smooth; spills and overflows do not
stick to the cooktop, so they can easily
be wiped away.
