Induction Cooking

Induction cooking is an innovative method that employs electromagnetic fields to heat cookware directly, resulting in rapid, precise, and energy-efficient cooking.

Yes, induction cooktops require cookware made of ferromagnetic materials, such as cast iron or stainless steel with a magnetic base. Non-magnetic materials like aluminium, copper, or glass won't work.

Induction cooktops can be more expensive upfront compared to gas or electric alternatives. However, their energy efficiency and lower operating costs can offset the initial investment over time.

No, induction cooktops require electricity to generate the electromagnetic field, so they will not work during a power outage.

Some pacemakers may be affected by the electromagnetic fields generated by induction cooktops. If your staff has a pacemaker, it's best to consult a doctor or the pacemaker manufacturer for specific guidelines.

Induction cooktops may require a dedicated electrical circuit and professional installation if it is 15Amps or more. Consult your appliance manual and a qualified electrician for specific requirements. Alternatively, if you need assistance but do not have access to an electrician, contact Restaurant Equipment Online, and we may be able to help.

Cleaning induction cooktops is easy, as the surface remains cool and spills don't burn onto it. Wipe the cooktop with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then dry with a soft cloth. Always follow manufacturer instructions.

Induction cooktops generate an electromagnetic field that creates a current in the cookware's magnetic material, generating heat directly within the pot or pan.

The lifespan of an induction cooktop varies depending on usage and maintenance, but they can last up to a decade or more with proper care.

Yes, induction cooking is highly energy-efficient because it directly heats the cookware and does not waste energy on heating the surrounding air.

Induction cooking is generally considered safe. The cooktop surface remains cool to the touch, reducing the risk of burns, and the magnetic field is only activated when compatible cookware is detected.
