Introduction to Induction
How does induction work?
An induction cooktop holds a series of burners called induction coils (based on mag-
netic principles). These coils generate magnetic fi elds that induct a warming reaction
in steel and iron-based pots and pans. This way, the cookware itself heats the food,
not the cooktop surface.

What are the benefi ts of cooking with an induction cooktop?
EFFICIENT: Induction cooking is the most eco-friendly and energy-effi cient way to
cook. Induction cooktops use 90% of the energy produced, which is much more en-
ergy-effi cient than gas or electric cooktops. By recognizing the base of the cookware,
induction heats only the diameter of the pot so very little energy is wasted. Moreover,
induction emits no fl ame, so less residual heat is produced in your kitchen.

SAFE: There are no open fl ames and the surface remains cool to the touch.
FAST: Heating and adjustments are immediate, saving you 50% of cooking time when
compared to gas and electric.

EVEN HEAT DISTRIBUTION: Hot spots and rings are avoided because the bottom of
your cookware heats uniformly.

EASY TO CLEAN: The surface is fl at and smooth; spills and overfl ows do not stick to
the cooktop, so they can easily be wiped away.
