1] Induction Cook Tops, Hot Plates, (and Ranges)
An induction cooktop uses electromagnetic fields to directly heat pots and pans. An electric current flows through coils beneath the cooktop’s surface, creating a magnetic field that induces electrical currents in the cookware. This generates heat directly in the pan, making it highly efficient and responsive.
Important: Pans made from aluminum, copper, or non-magnetic stainless steel won’t work unless they have a magnetic base.
For an induction cooktop, pans must be magnetic. Suitable materials include:
CAST IRON
MAGNETIC STAINLESS STEEL
SOME ENAMEL COATED STAINLESS STEEL
If you would like to try an induction style of cooking, you can get an induction hot plate to start. Cook-Tops can refer to portable devices or devices that are installed into counter. These are also portable incase you ever have an occasion where you want to cook in a different location.
