How does the CERAN® cooktop with induction technology work?
Induction cookers work completely differently to conventional electric cookers. The difference becomes apparent as soon as you switch on the cooking zone. With induction cookers no heating elements start glowing. However, when you place a pot containing food or liquid on the cooking field, heat arises at the exact spot it is needed: at the bottom of the pot. A current-carrying coil is located beneath the cooktop that generates an alternating magnetic field. This magnetic field induces eddy currents in special cookware made of ferromagnetic material, which heats the metal of the pot and then its contents by heat transferal. The benefits of this technology are the precise dosage of heat supply and quick responses to any changes in settings. Under normal circumstances the cooking surface remains relatively cool, as the surface itself does not heat up. On top of that, a CERAN® cooktop with induction technology is much easier to clean and its elegant appearance is very aesthetically pleasin
