Induction Stove

Key Features of Induction


  1. Faster Cooking Times –Induction heats a pan almost 50% faster than gas does
  2. Instant Temperature Changes – heat levels can be more accurately versus gas or other cooking applications
  3. Safe Cook Top – Surface stays cool to the touch making it safer for children and the disabled.
  4. Easy to Clean – Spills won’t bake or crust onto the cook top and are easily wiped off
  5. Energy Saving – Energy is transferred directly to the pan by magnetic field so very little heat is wasted.
 

Stated Power vs Delivered Power

Type Power Efficiency Delivered Power
Induction 2.8 KW 90% 2.52 KW
Gas 3.5 KW 50% 1.75 KW
Halogen 2.2 KW 60% 1.32 KW
Electric Coil or Cast Iron 2.0 KW 55% 1.1 KW
 

Time Required to Boil 2qts. of Water

Type Power Temperature of Cook Top
Induction 4 min.46 sec 230o F
Gas 8 min.18 sec 518o F
Halogen 9 min.00 sec 734o F
Electric Coil or Cast Iron 9 min.50 sec 644o F
With an efficiency of 90%, compared to 50% for gas or 55-60% for other electric technologies, induction heats incredibly fast. Even when compared to amicrowave, nothing can match the speed or safety of an induction cooktop.
 

Energy Consumption Used to Boil 2qts. of Water

Type Energy Used
Induction 225 W / h
Gas 390 W / h
Halogen 270W / h
Electric Coil or Cast Iron 320 W / h
Power and effciency combined with the fact that energy consumption is proportional to the cookware, result in substantial energy savings, 17? 30% less than the energy consumed by standard cooking technologies.
