First, let’s understand how an induction cooker works.
Induction cooktops work by generating a fluctuating magnetic field at a distance of a few millimeters between the bottom of the pan and the glass that isolates the induction cooktop. Simply understood, the generated magnetic field works only on metal and stainless steel objects (objects with magnetic properties), causing them to heat up in a short period of time, thus cooking the food.
1. High cooking efficiency.
Thanks to the intelligent operation principle, the efficiency of the induction cooker is almost maximized, in addition, it helps the user to save both time and cost. According to the actual situation of customers’ usage, using induction stove is much more economical than using gas cooker for cooking. The cost of using gas cooker for one month is about 320,000 volts of gas, if using induction cooker, the cost of using electricity for one month is only about 120,000 volts – 150,000 volts.
Induction cooktops cook at 90% of their capacity, consuming only 10% of the heat energy released into the environment. Because the heat from the heating plate is transferred to the bottom of the pan, it passes only through the 4-8 mm thick kitchen glass. Many cooking modes, such as simmering, braising, stir-frying …… Automatically turn off when the stove is boiling or set a timer for the induction cooktop to turn off automatically, saving time and power.
Induction cooktops focus only on heating the bottom of the pan, with zero surrounding temperature. So you don’t have to worry about losing heat anymore, the bottom of the pot gets hot in no time. Helps cook super fast, not only saves the best cooking time, but also helps your family save money on your monthly electricity bill.
2. Design-Style
The first advantage that the kitchen scores to users is its beautiful design. Whether it is an induction cooktop or other products, users also like that the product must be beautiful and must first make a first impression with its appearance.
Induction cooker has two types of stove, namely negative and positive.
The advantage of the negative type induction cooker is that it is compact in design and takes up very little area of the cooktop when installed. The kitchen table looks neater and brighter when an induction cooktop is installed. However, the disadvantage of a negative induction cooktop is that it is difficult to relocate if the kitchen needs to be remodeled.
The advantage of a positive cooktop is that it is easy to move the cooking place. However, it takes up a considerable amount of cooking area.
Imported induction cooktops are available in many designs. For example, oval, bean-shaped. It looks fancy and quite aesthetically pleasing.
3. Safe cooking
If a gas stove is a fire hazard or produces gas smell and is very hot when cooking, induction is absolutely safe. The stove does not produce harmful gases such as CO and CO2, so it will not cause fire or explosion like a gas stove. Now the vast majority of induction cooktops use German Schott Ceran glass, which is well insulated and will not cause leakage, and the 100% insulation ensures the safety of the user.
When cooking, if the user heats the pot, boils the water dry, and then adds food and oil. When the temperature is too high, or overloaded, the induction cooker will automatically disconnect or send an error warning signal. In addition, the stove will also automatically disconnect if the power supply is unstable, insufficient, or overloaded, ensuring that the family’s total power supply is safely protected.
Many safe cooking features, such as the child lock, are great for families with young children. When this safety lock mode is turned on, all settings and buttons on the induction cooktop will be temporarily deactivated. You no longer have to worry about your children swelling, burning or playing or frolicking in the cooking area.
Other convenient modes such as: cooking timer, residual heat warning, …. , the stove is heated and cools down soon after turning off the stove. No swelling or burns to the user after cooking.
Induction cooktops do not create fires, and in the presence of a fan or wind, no fires or flames licking items around the stove, causing damage or even a house fire.
4. Simple – precise temperature adjustment
Each dish requires a different cooking method. In addition to the chef’s culinary talents, an important factor that contributes significantly to the deliciousness of a dish is the kitchen temperature.
To ensure that dishes are prepared in the most delicious way, induction cooktops have many different cooking modes for every type of dish, such as: boiling, stewing, braising, stir-frying, deep-frying…. Each cooking mode has a suitable temperature and is very easy to adjust.
The buttons on the induction cooktop control panel have their own icons and you can see these cooking modes and operate them with extreme ease.
5. Many convenient and safe cooking modes
BOOSTER function. A function with a larger than usual capacity, usually 1.3-1.5 times the maximum capacity of an induction cooktop. For example, the top design of an induction cooktop is usually 2000 W. The capacity of the booster function will be 3000 W. With this function, you can save time while cooking and make sure you don’t have to wait while cooking.
The biggest feature of Booster is that it doesn’t cook for a long time, usually this function will only be used for 10 minutes and you should not use it any longer. Because this is a larger power level than usual, increasing the voltage, this function is used to boil water, cook quickly, cook instant noodles …
Anti-overflow function: An extremely convenient next function, if the stove detects a overflow in the control area, the stove will issue an alarm and automatically shut off. At this time, you must unplug the power outlet and wait for the stove to cool before cleaning.
In many cases, due to having to handle many tasks at the same time, they forget that they are cooking. We should limit this because there are many homes that have an electrical outlet right next to the kitchen. Although the stove has a self-off mechanism, the electrical outlet does not, if the stove is tilted due to improper installation, water can damage the electrical outlet at any time.
So where does this function come from? This functionality is achieved by the power circuitry being adjustable to high power levels for use under short-term overload conditions. Usually, kitchens with Booster also have to integrate a modern inverter circuit. These modern stoves have good stewing ability and also very fast cooking.
Timer function
This function is extremely useful when you can adjust your cooking process very conveniently while you are doing other things.
You turn on the stove to select the cooking zone and the required power level. Continue to press the clock icon, you have to press twice until the hour indicator lights up so the timer function works. The operation needs to continuously select the time you need to make an appointment until your appointment time level is displayed. For example, if you make an appointment for 15 minutes, the control panel will jump from 15 countdown back to 0. When this level is reached, the stove will automatically turn off and have a “pip” sound to indicate the end of the appointment time and your dish is also complete.
Action to cancel appointment time: You also click select hotplate and double-click the clock icon then use the icon from 1 to 9 to change the time you want to reschedule or you press “0” to cancel the scheduled time completely. . Cooking times can be programmed automatically for all hotplates and they operate independently of each hotplate. The timer can be up to 99 minutes. When you make fried and sautéed dishes, the appointment time will be counted when the temperature has reached the desired level to process the dish. There is also an automatic time limiter on the hob, which means that if the hob continues to be used for a long time The cooking zone will not heat up, the F8 symbol and the h/H residual heat indicator will flash. continuously on the display. To lose these indicators simply touch any of the icons on the screen and the hotplate will be reset. 6. Environmentally friendly
When it comes to the advantages of an induction cooktop, it is impossible not to mention the absolute environmental protection of this kitchen line.
Induction hobs use electricity as the main energy to operate. The fuel source is used up to 90%, only 10% of the heat is lost to the environment. Help you save fuel for the country, partly protect the environment.
Meanwhile, when cooking, gas stoves and stoves create smoke and exhaust gases around, polluting the air, clinging to the smell of smoke in food or affecting the environment and the health of users.
7. Easy to clean
Cooking with a very clean induction hob. Smooth, flat glass surface is easy to clean. Do not dirty or blacken pots and pans like other stoves when cooking. Do you know how to properly clean the induction cooker?
During cooking, if food is spilled on the outside, the pan or pot. You can use a soft cloth to wipe and clean immediately without worrying about hot and swollen hands. Instant cleaning without wasting time.
Disadvantages of induction cooker:
1. Initial investment costs are quite “expensive”
The price of the induction cooker is quite expensive compared to other types of stoves. Initial investment costs can range from a few million to several tens of millions.
2. Kitchen from cocoon pot
The induction cooker is quite “picky” about the pot. In many cases where the induction cooker does not accept the pot, you will need to use the appropriate pot and pan materials. If you have a magnetic bottom or use the support of a heat transfer plate, you can use your favorite pot set.
Therefore, if you do not want to have to buy a new set of pots with a magnetic bottom, you will have to buy an old heat transfer device to cook or buy a dedicated grill to eat baked goods on an induction hob.
3. Voltage must be suitable
The current designs of induction cookers from Vietnam have been optimized for power efficiency designs suitable for Vietnam voltages. However, some imported and portable induction cookers from Europe are not suitable for household electricity. European induction cookers often have higher cooking power efficiency, causing overload and interruption of the cooking process.
Because induction cookers do not have compatible power efficiency, you need to buy an additional power adapter for the induction cooker to be able to cook normally.
4. Interruption of cooking when the power goes out
The downside that makes users quite worried when using an induction cooker is when the power goes out.
Induction cookers using electric fuel are the main and only. If the power goes out, the induction cooker cannot be replaced with any other fuel. Unless your family has a generator. However, if the amount of electricity from the generator is too low, there is not enough supply for the induction cooker. Your cooking will be interrupted.
