How an Induction Cooker works

portable induction cooker
1. The element's electronics power a coil that produces a high-frequency electromagnetic field.

2. The field penetrates the metal of the ferrous (i.e. magnetic-material) cooking vessel and sets up a circulating electric current, which generates heat.

3. The heat generated in the cooking vessel is transferred to the vessel's contents.

4. Nothing outside the vessel is affected by the field. As soon as the vessel is removed from the element or the element turned off, heat generation stops.

What is induction cooking?
When we cook on a stove top, be it electric or gas, the task really being performed is the heating of food that is contained within a vessel of some type. In other words, you are heating a pot or pan containing food. The beauty of induction cooking lies in the fact that no heat is transferred from a source to the cook vessel, the cook vessel itself is the source of heat through the power of Electromagnetic induction.

Wikipedia defines Electromagnetic induction as "the production of voltage across a conductor situated in a changing magnetic field or a conductor moving through a stationary magnetic field." The conductor in this case is the cookware and the magnetic field is created by the "burner element" or more accurately, the induction coil underneath the surface of the induction cooktop.

How an induction cooker works
The “burner” element part of an induction cooktop is actually a powerful, high-frequency electromagnet. When the element is turned on, electricity powers an induction coil located under the burner's surface. When the proper cookware is used -- iron, enamel and some stainless steel -- creating a magnetic field between the surface of the element and cookware placed on the burner's surface. The burner element itself does not produce heat, the heat is actually produced by the pot or pan itself through eddy currents generated within the metal. If the field is broken, i.e. by the pan being removed, the current ceases to exist and heat is stopped.

Small induction cookers wildly popular in Europe
Because they take up little counter space, produce no open flames, heated surfaces, or carcinogenic fumes, portable induction cookers are popular among Europeans living in smaller apartments. It can be stowed away in a drawer or cabinet right after use, because it does not have a hot surface to cool down; freeing up counter space for other uses.

This cooker is ideal for family gatherings, buffets, parties, during travel, camping, on-board boats and yachts, and in unventilated locations like college dorm rooms and basements. It's portable and easy to handle, so it's great for traveling.

There is no open flame, heated surface, or carcinogenic fumes to worry about and it runs on 110 voltage so it can be plugged into any standard U.S. or Canadian outlet. The 10 ¼" diameter ceramic plates can accommodate most cookware sizes and is easy to clean.

Because it requires no "warm up" time so it can quickly boil water and heat food. Its tap touches electronics and six power levels allows for a precise and controlled cooking experience.

The induction cooker works** with cookware made with a magnetic bottom and works well with some stainless steel, iron, and enamel cookware. To test your cookware, simply use the magnetic to see if it is attracted to the bottom of the cookware. If it is, then your cookware can be used. In addition, this cooker features an automatic pan sensor which detects improper cookware when used on it, giving off an audible beep warning.
