What are the benefits of induction cooking?
Cooking on induction has a number of advantages. For example, the cooktop itself doesn't get hot, which makes it a lot safer. An induction cooktop also heats up your pans a lot faster, so you won't have to spend as much time on cooking. Thanks to the smooth surface, you can easily clean the cooktop too.
Cook safely
When you cook on induction, the bottom of the pan will get warm instead of the cooking zone. As a result, only the residual heat remains after cooking, which cools off quickly. In addition, most induction cooktops use pan recognition. Once you remove the pan from the cooking zone, it'll turn off automatically.
Heating up quickly
With an induction cooktop, just the part where the pan is placed becomes hot. Thanks to this, you won't lose energy and your pan heats up quickly. In addition, most induction cooktops have a boost function. This ensures the water reaches the boiling point faster, so you're done cooking faster.
Easy to clean
An induction cooktop has a smooth surface. Thanks to this, it's easy to clean. You just wipe it off with a wet cloth after cooking. This is even easier when the cooking zone is still warm, because the water will evaporate automatically and you won't have to dry the cooktop.
