ABOUT INDUCTION COOKING
Induction cooking has been used for decades in restaurants and
commercial kitchens worldwide. Only now, has the induction revolution
beenmadeavailableatanaordablecostforeverydayhouseholduse.
How does induction work?
Induction cooking uses electromagnetic energy to heat cookware. When
cookware is placed on an induction cooktop and the cooker is turned
on, the coil inside the induction unit produces and alternating magnetic
eld,whichowsthroughthecookware.Moleculesinthecookware
vibrate rapidly, causing the cookware to become hot almost instantly.
What types of cookware can be used?
Induction cooktops will only operate with a variety of cookware.
As explained in the paragraph above, induction cooking works by
electromagnetic energy, therefore, the outside bottom surface of the
cookware must be made of a ferrous magnetic material such as cast
3

4
iron, enameled steel or magnetic stainless steel. The interior or cooking
surface of the cookware can be aluminum or other non-ferrous material
with or without a non-stick coating as long as the bottom is ferrous.
It is very easy to check whether or not your cookware will work using
a fridge magnet or any other permanent magnet. If the magnet sticks
to the bottom of the pot/pan, the cookware will work on an induction
cooktop.
What are the advantages of induction cooking?
Induction cooking allows you to adjust the cooking heat instantly
and with great precision much like a gas burner, but with even more
accuracy.
Inductioncookingisalsofaster,cleaner,saferandmoreenergyecient
than any other counter top cooking technology.
Faster
Energy is transferred directly to the cookware, there is no wasted heat,
resulting in extremely fast heat up time - even faster than gas.
Cleaner
An induction cooktop only gets hot under the bottom of the cookware.
The area around the cookware does not get hot, so drips, spatters and
spills don’t bake on the induction cooker surface. Simply wipe with a
damp cloth - cleanup is a breeze.
Safer
Therearenoopenamesorhotelements.Inductioncooktopswillstart
only once the appropriate cookware has been placed on the surface
and stops immediately when the cookware is removed. No more burned
ngersorhandsandsaferaroundyoungchildren.
Energy Ecient
Conventional cooking methods involve generating heat which is then
transferred to cookware. With induction cooking, there is almost no
wasted heat since heat is being generated in the cookware itself. Also,
becausetherearenoopenamesorhotelementsreleasingheatinto
your kitchen, your kitchen stays cooler.
What can I cook on an induction cooker?
Whatyoucancookonaninductioncookerisnodierentthanwhatyou
can cook with gas, an electric coil or any other form of heat. There are
no special recipes or cookbooks.

Portable induction cookers are ideal for everyday use. They can also be
usedforcamping,cottages,dormroomsandoces.Theycanbeused
any place a stove is not available or an extra cooking surface is required.
Induction cooking is very powerful. By far the most common problem
with new users is that they don’t realize how quickly the pot generates
heat, causing food to burn or overcook. We recommend that you
‘practice’ using the induction cooker with a pot/pan of water and bring
ittoaboilseveraltimesusingdierentamountsofwateranddierent
temperature/power settings to familiarize yourself with how quickly
water can come to a boil. In a very short time you will become familiar
with your induction cooker and enjoy its fast, clean, safe and energy
ecientfeatures.

A short supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of becoming
entangled in or tripping over a long cord. Extension cords may be used
if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked
electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord
should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If
the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a
grounded 3-wire cord. The extension cord should be arranged so that
it will not drape over the counter top or table top, where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over.
