The induction cooker works on the basis of an electromagnet that 

creates a powerful, high-frequency electromagnetic field. When cookware 

consisting of magnetic material (e.g. iron) is placed on the induction 

cooker, the electromagnetic field transfers energy to the bottom of the 

cookware, which causes the cookware and the food inside it to become 

hot. The amount of heat generated in the cookware is controlled by 

varying the strength of the electromagnetic field. When the strength of the 

electromagnetic field is changed, the temperature of the cookware changes 

instantly.

Advantages of the induction cooker:

Safe: the induction cooker does not make use of an open flame or 

fire. It also has a number of safety features, which allow you to enjoy 

cooking with your family whenever you want.

Fast: in induction cooking, the cookware serves as the heat source. 

This results in much faster and more even heat transfer, shortening the 

cooking time by more than 1/3 compared to conventional cooking.

Versatile: the induction cooker has 7 preset cooking modes, each with 

its own optimal heating pattern. These modes allow you to prepare a 

great variety of nutritious meals.

Very user friendly: the simple and interactive control panel and display 

allow you to easily adjust the settings at the touch of a button.  

Comfortable: the induction cooking process is smoke-free and 

produces less grease. Moreover, the cooker and the surrounding 

area stay cool. This allows you to cook in a cool and comfortable 

environment. 

Portable: the induction cooker has a compact design and the cooking 

plate stays cool. This means the appliance is always safe to use and 

allows you to cook anywhere in your home.
