What is economical induction

In the process of cooking, it is important not only what to cook from, but also what to cook with. The choice of a stove implies the need to take into account many parameters: a power source (gas or electricity), dimensions, price, profitability, color and other parameters. Modern multi-story construction excludes gas stoves from possible options (gas is not carried out for reasons of fire safety). What is economical induction and how economical is it?

How is the economical induction cooker Techno TT different from electric?

The main difference is the principle of operation of techno TT.

The principle of operation of electric consists in the passage of electric current through a resistor and the release of thermal energy through a heating element (metal burner or ceramic glass) to the dishes. That is, the burner heats up and transfers heat to the dishes.

Induction does not heat the hob, but rather the dishes placed on it by creating eddy currents.

Compare the characteristics individually.

Electric:

1. the hob heats the dishes for a long time;
2. desktop are small, floor can be quite bulky;
3. there is no possibility of operational management of the cooking process;
4. possible burns on a hot cooking surface;
5. if liquid drips onto a hot cooking surface, a sharp unpleasant odor will appear and a stain will remain on the surface;
6. care for enameled surfaces requires the use of physical efforts to clean from burnt contaminants;
7. modern ones have an ergonomic appearance;
8. silent during the work;
9. can be cooked on any dishes;
10. the burner cools for a long time, warming the surrounding air with its heat;
11. inexpensive enameled options and more expensive glass-ceramic;
12. cooking surfaces are made enameled or glass-ceramic;
13. enameled ones are prone to chips, scratches, dents, glass-ceramic should be protected from point impacts.

Professional Induction Techno TT:

• have a high efficiency at low energy costs (it is almost completely consumed for heating);
• burners do not need to be heated;
• due to rapid heating, dishes are quickly prepared;
• They have a stylish design and take up little space;
• easy to manage, allow you to control during cooking;
• help optimize the work, you can set the exact temperature and cooking time;
• made of stainless steel;
• since it is not the hob that heats up, the possibility of getting burns is excluded;
• several operating modes;
• long period of operation;
• easy care, particles falling on the cooking surface of the food do not burn;
• spilled liquid can be wiped during cooking;
• for cooking, special dishes with a ferromagnetic flat bottom are needed;
• turns off when you remove dishes from the surface, and a signal is emitted;
• turns off when there is no water or food in the dishes;
• price comparable to the price of good electric stoves;

this type of stove allows you to really save money (of the order of three times the cost, that is, with a 4-burner induction cooker costs 20 thousand rubles per year, savings compared to an electric stove will amount to 58 thousand rubles).

Which stove is better?

If we compare the energy savings and the absence of burns, durability and high quality work, ease of operation and maintenance, then the induction cooker wins. However, one must proceed not only from technical characteristics, but also from individual preferences, material capabilities, kitchen size and needs.

Which dishes are suitable for such a stove

For cooking on the induction cooker, special cookware is necessary, which has a perfectly flat bottom and it is magnetized (for testing, you can attach a magnet to the bottom). At the bottom there is a special Induction sign. Otherwise, if you install unsuitable dishes on the surface of the stove, it will not turn on.

IMPORTANT!Requirements for dishes: perfectly flat thick bottom.

Often suitable utensils are sold with an induction cooker. Can be used:

1. The best material for the bottom will be an alloy of stainless steel and aluminum.
2. Cast iron is also well suited for cooking on this stove, however, damage to the glass-ceramic hob due to the severity of cast iron is possible. In the event of a split, the glass ceramics must be completely replaced.
3. Enameled without chips can also work, but it can make various sounds, burst or warp.
4. Stainless steel is suitable, but since it contains nickel, it can cause allergies.

What are the disadvantages of an induction cooker

Are there any disadvantages? As with all equipment, there are also drawbacks. The disadvantage is the need to purchase suitable cookware or an additional conductive metal pancake, which itself heats up and transfers heat to the cookware standing on it. In this case, all positive qualities are lost, and it turns into a regular electric stove. You can also purchase a special sticker on the bottom of the dishes, which will transfer heat.

IMPORTANT! When working, you need to remove the watch, otherwise it will be magnetized. You also need to remove all jewelry from your hands to avoid heating them.

They work noisily during the cooking process (the fan is noisy and the coils are buzzing). The surface is afraid of point hits (it may crack).
