What an induction cooker is different from the ceramic

Modern manufacturers of household appliances offer a choice of cooking surfaces of two types – induction and ceramic. The design of these panels will fit perfectly into any modern set. But how do they differ from each other?

A good choice of two options

Any owner, it is important to know how effective the purchased panel, with design and beauty fade into the background. Glass-ceramic and induction surfaces and gas ahead of their predecessors in the rate of heating several times. The induction hob will boil a liter of water for three minutes, vitroceramic - five minutes, and the traditional gas stove will require nine minutes.

An ordinary gas stove can be quite a nasty potential threat, if you have small children, since it is heated in all directions, it is easy to get burned.

The glass-ceramic is ideally conduct heat in the vertical axis and virtually no heat in the horizontal plane. This means that during cooking the food is heated substantially only the area under the pot or pan.

For these surfaces the diameters of the burners and the pots must accurately fit together. If the pan is small for the burners, it may cause overheating of the surface, and too large pots leave ugly traces.

Features of induction heating

Induction cooktops heat the cookware and not the surface. Due to this, the kitchen is not warming the air, which is especially valuable in hot weather. A variety of presentations often demonstrate the trick with induction panels – move the pan on half the burners, and the second put ice or chocolate. After a few minutes in a saucepan boil water, and chocolate or ice don't even think to melt. Electromagnetic induction heats only the cookware. Burners turn on if the stove is a pot, and it is necessary to remove it and the oven automatically turns off. Induction panels allow you to forget about the horrible runaway milk because it just does not stick to the surface.

Do not put on a heated ceramic glass hotplate the pan wet, it will damage the surface.

And induction, and ceramic surfaces require the purchase of new cookware. Induction surfaces don't work with glass, brass, copper, porcelain, ceramic and aluminum. To check if any pot your stove, bring it to the magnet. If down he is attracted, then cookware is for you.

Ceramic glass surfaces require cookware with smooth flat bottom, while it should not be made of aluminum or copper, since these metals are left in the glass-ceramic tracks.
