2.3 Working Theory

Induction cooking is a safe, advanced, ecient, and economical cooking technology. It works by

electromagnetic vibrations generating heat directly in the pan, rather than indirectly through heating the

glass surface. The glass becomes hot only because the pan eventually warms it up.

magnetic circuit

ceramic glass plate

induction coil

test.

Move a magnet towards the base of the pan. If it is attracted, the pan is

suitable for induction.

• Ifyoudonothaveamagnet:

1. Put some water in the pan you want to check.

2. If

• Cookwaremadefromthefollowingmaterialsisnotsuitable:purestainlesssteel,aluminiumorcopper

without a magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, and earthenware.

EN - 8

Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base.



Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth, sits at against the glass, and is the same size as the cooking

zone. Use pans whose diameter is as large as the graphic of the zone selected. Using a pot a slightly wider

energy will be used at its maximum eciency. If you use smaller pot eciency could be less than expected.

Pot less than 140 mm could be undetected by the hob. Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.

Always lift pans o the Induction hob – do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.

4. COOKING GUIDELINES

Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly if you’re using PowerBoost. At

extremely high temperatures oil and fat will ignite spontaneously and this presents a serious re risk.

4.1 Cooking Tips

• Whenfoodcomestotheboil,reducethetemperaturesetting.

• Usingalidwillreducecookingtimesandsaveenergybyretainingtheheat.

• Minimizetheamountofliquidorfattoreducecookingtimes.

• Startcookingonahighsettingandreducethesettingwhenthefoodhasheatedthrough.

4.1.1 Simmering, cooking rice

• Simmeringoccursbelowboilingpoint,ataround85°C,whenbubblesarejustrisingoccasionallyto

the surface of the cooking liquid. It is the key to delicious soups and tender stews because the avours

develop without overcooking the food. You should also cook egg-based and our thickened sauces below

boiling point.

• Sometasks,includingcookingricebytheabsorptionmethod,mayrequireasettinghigherthanthelowest

setting to ensure the food is cooked properly in the time recommended.

4.1.2 Searing steak

To cook juicy avorsome steaks:

1. Stand the meat at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking.

2. Heat up a heavy-based frying pan.

3. Brush both sides of the steak with oil. Drizzle a small amount of oil into the hot pan and then lower the

meat onto the hot pan.

4. Turn the steak only once during cooking. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of the

steak and how cooked you want it. Times may vary from about 2 – 8 minutes per side. Press the steak to

gaugehowcookeditis–thermeritfeelsthemore‘welldone’itwillbe.

5. Leave the steak to rest on a warm plate for a few minutes to allow it to relax and become tender before

serving.

EN - 17

4.1.3 For stir-frying

1. Choose an induction compatible at-based wok or a large frying pan.

2. Have all the ingredients and equipment ready. Stir-frying should be quick. If cooking large quantities,

cook the food in several smaller batches.

3. Preheat the pan briey and add two tablespoons of oil.

4. Cook any meat rst, put it aside and keep warm.

5. Stir-fry the vegetables. When they are hot but still crisp, turn the cooking zone to a lower setting, return

the meat to the pan and add your sauce.

6. Stir the ingredients gently to make sure they are heated through.

7. Serve immediately.

4.2 Detection of Small Articles

When an unsuitable size or non-magnetic pan (e.g. aluminium), or some other small item (e.g. knife, fork,

key) has been left on the hob, the hob automatically go on to standby in 1 minute. The fan will keep cooking

down the induction hob for a further 1 minute.

5. HEAT SETTINGS

The settings below are guidelines only. The exact setting will depend on several factors, including your

cookware and the amount you are cooking. Experiment with the induction hob to nd the settings that best

suit you.
