Overview of Popular Induction Cooktops
Cooktops differ from ovens mainly in the sense that a cooktop is usually placed on a heating element built into the cabinet itself. Electric cooktops consist of small coils of metal stacked underneath a ceramic layer, which heats up the upper surface of the ceramic cooktop via electrical currents to the desired temperature automatically. The warmth produced quickly heats the cooktop's bottom, preparing it for cooking.

While electric cooktops have come out of the oven and into the kitchen with a bang, they haven't necessarily been the clear winner in terms of being the best type of cooktop for cooking for most people. In fact, many cooks who use an electric cooktop will admit that some of the features of the cooktop are a bit clumsy. To put it simply, there are problems with the control over the temperature and the ease of cleaning up electronic cooktops that don't use electricity.

All electric cooktops heat using a heating element beneath the cooktop surface. This heating element exchanges heat between the cooktop surface and whatever you are cooking. Some cooktops have two sides of different temperatures, whereas others are dual surfaces, meaning that you can cook on one side and then switch to another side while your other side remains unoccupied.

Electric cooktops heat using electricity so there are no cooking surfaces to build up grease or streaks of burnt residue in, say, a cast iron pan. No drippings show on the pan, so your food will not be steamed on or damaged by streaks of cooking oil and grease. Electric cooktops also have very little moving parts, so they generally come with less mechanical hassle than gas or ceramic cooktops. In short, electric cooktops save you time and trouble.


Another advantage of electric cooktops is their flexibility. Since electric heaters can sense what you are cooking and turn the heat source to match your desired temperature without switching off the burner, they can be used on any sort of stove, from induction to infrared and back again. They're even considered more energy efficient than gas cooktops. (The only real test is in the reviews of energy bills over the years; but generally, an electric stove heats at lower cost per hour than gas or ceramic ones.) Electric cooktops have become a popular choice with those who wish to use electricity for their heating source, but want to do away with gas burns and ash wastes.

The most flexible kind of electric cooker is induction cooktops. An induction cooktop draws heat from magnetic coils within its enclosure to heat up the cooking area. Induction cooktops are usually made of special black-iron surfaces to prevent any ugly streaks or spots from forming, and they work great for kitchen islands or other corners that you'd prefer not to expose the food to. small cooktops To cook with induction cooktops, the food must be placed directly onto the heated coil surface, and in some cases, this must be done under a bain-marie, in order to prevent damaging the inner cooking surface. It takes practice to get good at using induction cooktops properly, so some people choose to build their own electric cooktop. However, you may also find that it's a more attractive design to construct yourself.

The final cooking method we'll discuss here is the glass-ceramic cooktop. Like the induction cooktop, a glass-ceramic cooktop draws in heat from its surrounding environment in the form of radiation. The difference is that the radiation comes from two slightly differently shaped radiation channels running parallel to each other on the opposite sides of the glass sheet. This means that different parts of the cooking area receive varying amounts of heat. This makes glass-ceramic cooktops very efficient for low-demand cooking, but makes it difficult to cook delicate items such as delicate fruit slices or cheeses.

All three of the above methods of induction cooktops use one common heat source. Ceramic electric cooktops use heat energy produced by a ceramic panel or cavity. Glass and ceramic cooktops use radiation from their surfaces to heat up the food, and a combination of these two heat sources produce the most effective heat source possible. It is important to consider the type of cooking you plan to do, and to choose a high-quality cooker which uses its own power, not from electrical power supplied to it.
