INTRODUCTION!TO!INDUCTION!COOKING!
Induction! cooking! is! a! cooking! method! which! a! cooking! vessel! (pot! or! pan)! is! heated! by! magnetic!
induction!rather!than!thermal!conduction!from!a!flame!of!electrical!heating!element!on!a!traditional!
stove!top.!A!magnetic!field!is!generated!from!the!coils!under!the!surface!of!the!cook!top!and!heat!is!
transferred!directly!into!the!pots!and!pans.!The!appliance!applies!the!heating!principle!of!the!magnetic!
field!inducing!the!whorl!electric!current.!A!whorl!electric!current!is!a!spiral!or!circular!pattern!of!electric!
currents.!It!utilses!the!magnetic!field! produced! by!the!current!passing!the!loop!when!the!magnetic!
force!line!passes!the!bottom!of!the!cooking!vessel.!It!will!produce!numerous!whorl!electric!currents!
what!will!heat!the!cooking!vessel!and!the!food!inside!it!rapidly.! !
The!cooking!vessel!used!on!an!induction!cooker!must!be!made!of!or!contain!a!ferromagnetic!steel!such!
