Principle and Characteristics

Working Principle

The working principle of the induction
cooker  is  to  heat  the  pot  through
magnetic  induction  eddy  currents.
When  an  electrical  current  is  passed
through  the  induction  coil  magnetic
fields  are  generated.  When  lines  of
magnetic force pass through the base
of  a  ferromagnetic  pan,  numerous
eddy  currents  are  generated  which
cause  the  pan  and  any  foodstuff
within  it  to  heat  up  rapidly.  Current
will only pass through cookware with
a  ferromagnetic  base  (see  chapter
Cooking utensils).
