•Easy to Clean – surface temperatures never exceed cookware
temperature.
•Control & Responsiveness Equal to Gas – instant control of heat
added to cookware.
•Fast & Powerful – 3700W – 8.5 minutes vs 12-14 for radiant, 14-16
for gas (18k BTU).
•Efficient – input energy heats food, not kitchen – Induction 83%,
Radiant 72%, Gas 38%.

Induction Cooking – How It Works
1. Electronics power a coil under the
cooktop that produces a high-
frequency electromagnetic field.

Induction Cooking – How It Works
2. The EM field interacts with ferrous metal
cookware & sets up a circulating electric
current, which generates heat.

transferred to the cookware contents.

4. Nothing outside the cookware is affected
by the field. As soon as the pan is
removed from the element, or the element
is turned off, heat generation stops.

• Ferromagnetic cookware - required
• Glass cooktop
• Flat Coil – usually coated (rope like-multi-
strand wire) – to reduce losses at high
frequency.
• Ferrite Cores to reduce air gap losses.

• Operation at RF frequencies requires understanding of EM field. Pan
thickness & distance from coil can impact heating capabilities.
Induction Cooking
• There are no health risks associated with use of this cook top. The RF field from an
induction cooker dissipates to almost nothing at a distance of about one foot.
