Induction cooking

Induction cooking is a special way of cooking food using a type of stove that works with electricity. Instead of using gas or an electric heater, an induction stove uses special magnets that create a magnetic field that produces heat.

Imagine you have a toy magnet that you use to pick up metal objects. If you place the magnet near some metal, the magnet can attract the metal and lift it up. Now, imagine using this concept on a larger scale. An induction stove has copper coils under the glass surface that create a magnetic field when electricity passes through them. When you put a pot or pan made of magnetic material (such as iron or steel) on the stove, the magnetic field from the coils will be attracted to the pot or pan, and this creates heat in the pot or pan.

So, when you turn on the induction stove and place a pot or pan made of magnetic material on it, the pan gets hot, and the food inside the pan starts to cook. Since the heat is generated directly inside the pot or pan, the cooking process is very efficient and fast.

One thing to remember is that not all pots and pans will work on an induction stove. Only those made of magnetic materials, such as cast iron or stainless steel, will be able to generate heat in this way. Also, because the heat is only generated in the pot or pan and not the surrounding area, there is very little waste heat, making the kitchen less hot and the cooking process more energy-efficient.

Overall, induction cooking is a great way to prepare food quickly and efficiently, while also being environmentally friendly.
