Please join us to understand this issue through the following suggestions.
1. Trend of choosing induction cooker in Vietnam
When there is an increasing risk of fire and explosion due to the use of gas stoves, or health harm due to the use of coal stoves, wood stoves, etc., the use of induction cookers has become a common trend among consumers. Vietnamese.
Bringing a clean, luxurious and modern kitchen space with no more smoke or toxic fumes, ensuring absolute safety in use and helping to cook quickly while maintaining the nutritional value of the kitchen. With the advent of every dish, induction cooktops suddenly became the truth for every household looking for cooking equipment.
2. What is an induction cooktop?
2.1 Induction Cooktop
An induction cooktop is a smart cooking device that uses electricity to operate. Induction cooktops have the ability to effectively reduce heat loss and have very fast cooking times. When operating, an electric current flows through a magnetic plate placed under the glass in the kitchen, creating a magnetic field on the hob, which heats a pan with a magnetic base and cooks the food.
2.2 The working principle of induction cooker
Induction cookers are made on the principle of magnetic fields and currents in coils. A conductive coil is placed under a piece of insulating and thermal insulating material. This piece of material is kitchen glass, usually made of vitreous china because, in addition to its insulating power, vitreous china has a high aesthetic appeal. For high-end induction cooktops, Schott Ceran glass, imported entirely from Germany, or K+ glass imported from France, is often used, followed by ceramics.
Because induction cooktops use electromagnetic induction, heat is only generated when the cooktop comes into contact with metal cookware, i.e. iron, steel and stainless steel, which are attracted to magnets, and these metal cookware are generally magnetic objects. As for items such as aluminum, stainless steel (non-magnetic), glass and pottery, they cannot be used because they cannot generate heat when in contact with an induction cooktop. Therefore, when cooking with an induction cooker, you need to choose the right cookware and the size of the cookware must be appropriate, usually the bottom of the pot must occupy 2/3 of the cooking area to generate heat.
Induction cooktops have an intelligent feature that automatically detects the size of the pan, and the bottom of the pan is in contact with the glass where the stove generates heat. Therefore, outside the contact area between the surface of the induction cooktop and the bottom area of the pan, the stove does not generate heat at all. No heat is generated in other areas, so it is very safe for the cook to not worry about getting burned during cooking. In addition, because the stove cools so quickly, it only takes the chef a while to clean the stove after cooking is over. Cleaning is very easy because the kitchen surface is made of high quality materials, so only a damp cloth is needed to clean the kitchen. Induction cooktops are the most efficient cooking stoves, much higher than gas and electric stoves. This is because when cooking with gas and electric stoves, the heat generated is almost completely absorbed into the pot and heat is inevitably lost to the outside environment. According to the working principle of induction cooker, we have always believed that it is safer and more economical to use induction cooker than other types of stoves.
