A Word on Induction Cooking (F1)

• a1 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.

Choosing the right cookware (F4)

- Preferably use cookware indicated as being suitable for induction cooking.

- A magnet-attracting cookware may be suitable for induction cooking.

- Stainless steel cookware with multi-layer or ferritic stainless-steel bases if the base indicates: for induction cooking.

- If cast iron cookware is used, it should preferably have an enamel bottom to avoid scratching the ceramic hob surface.

- The following types of cookware are not suitable: glass, ceramic, earthenware, aluminium, copper or non-magnetic (austenitic) stainless steel.

- Flat and thick-bottomed cookware.

- A cookware with the same diameter as the cooking zone ensures the maximum power is used.

- A smaller cookware reduces the power but will not lead to energy loss. In any case, we do not recommend the use of cookware with a diameter of less than 10 cm.

- The cookware bottom must have a minimum diameter according to the corresponding cooking zone:

- To obtain the best efficiency of your hob, please place the cookware in the centre of the cooking zone.
