How Induction Cooking Works

An induction coil beneath the ceramic glass cooking surface generates magnetic fields, which act directly on the base of the pots and pans.Instead of heating the ceramic glass, this method heats the base of the pan immediately, saving time and energy. Since the heat required for cooking is generated directly in the base of the pan, the cooking zone itself warms up only slightly. The cooktop does become hot when heat is transferred from the cookware.IMPORTANT:Electromagnetic fields can affect electronic circuits and interfere with portable radios and phones.Do not put magnetically active objects (e.g., credit cards, computer diskettes, cassettes) on or near the ceramic glass surface while one or more induction cooking zones are in use.Do not put any metal objects (e.g., spoons, pan lids) on the cooking zones as they can become hot when the cooking zones are in use.
