À Word on Induction Cooking (F1) + ai Cookware + a2 Induced current + a3 Magnetic field + a4 Inductor + a5 Electronic circuit + a6 Electric power supply Induction cooking is a safe, advanced, efficient, and economical cooking technology. It works by electromagnetic vibrations generating heat directly in the cookware, rather than indirectly through heating the glass surface. The glass becomes hot only because the cookware eventually warms it up. Induction cooking has the following characteristics. - Minimal dispersion (high performance) - Removing (or lifting) the cookware from the hob automatically stops the cooking zone. - The electronic system permits flexibility and precision control.
