PARTS DETAILSPRINCIPLES OF INDUCTION COOKINGInduction cooking is faster, cleaner and more efficient than normal cooking methodsInduction cooking heats a cooking vessel by electromagnetic induction, instead of by thermal conduction from aflame, or an electrical heating element. For induction cooktops, a cooking vessel must be made of or contain aferromagnetic metal such as cast iron or stainless steel.In an induction cooker, a coil of copper wire is placed under the cooking pot and an alternating electric current ispassed through it. The resulting oscillating magnetic field induces a magnetic flux, producing an eddy current inthe ferrous pot, which acts like the secondary winding of a transformer. The eddy current flowing through theresistance of the pot heats it.3
