Vortex
Induction Cook-tops work on the principle of heating magnetic eld induction vortex.
Magnetic eld will be generated when the current passes through the loop. When the line
of magnetic force goes through the bottom of iron vessels, numerous small vortexes will be
generated, making the vessel heat quickly by itself to attain the objective of cooking food.
UNIQUE FEATURE OF PRESTIGE INDUCTION COOK-TOP (ANTI-MAGNETIC WALL)
Prestige Anti -magnetic Wall Induction Cook-top is able to eectively block o the surplus magnetic energy dissipated
in the course or transition from magnetic energy to heat energy, and can reect back partial usable magnetic energy
and re-change it into heat energy, which may sharply reduce magnetic radiation’s inuence on the surrounding.
