Principle and Characteristics
Working Principle
The working principle of the induction
cooker is to heat the pot through
magnetic induction eddy currents.
When an electrical current is passed
through the induction coil magnetic
fields are generated. When lines of
magnetic force pass through the base
of a ferromagnetic pan, numerous
eddy currents are generated which
cause the pan and any foodstuff
within it to heat up rapidly. Current
will only pass through cookware with
a ferromagnetic base (see chapter
Cooking utensils).
