When choosing a new cooker, you will certainly notice the variety of hobs. The most popular are electrical panels, and the most innovative ones are induction. The principle of operation of each representative is different and each model has its own "requirements".Let's see how the induction hob differs from the electric hob. And start with the main thing - how do these plates work?
Electrical surface
In this model, the heating element is heated by a flowing current. This heating element, in turn, heats the dishes. Electric surfaces are considered to be the most powerful of all household appliances, such plates are "powered", of course, by electricity.
Induction surface
In this model there is a special coil that creates a magnetic field. This coil is under glass-ceramic coating. The "coil" is powered by an alternating current, which, passing through it, creates a field. In turn, this field heats the dishes, and the coil itself remains cold.
As you can see, the surfaces have a different operating principle - this is their main difference. Let's look at other differences of such fashionable and modern cooking surfaces.
| Electrical | Induction |
|---|---|
| Does not require special utensils | Requires selection of special utensils that have ferromagnetic properties( with a magnetic bottom) |
| Consumes more electricity | Such a plate will consume minimal amount of energy due to the fact that the burner will be disconnected in the absence of utensils |
| the plate can become very hot and cool slowly and there is a risk of getting burned | The appliance does not heat up very much and cools down in 10-15 seconds |
| Does not create a magnetth field, and therefore does not attract the work of other devices and people | Creates a magnetic field, which can be sensitive to some categories of people |
| To boil 1 liter of water will need 10-12 minutes | To boil 1 liter of water will need 2.5 - 3minutes |
| You need to monitor the cooking process | The food will not burn to the bottom of the dishes because of the operation principle of the |
device. It's easier for you to choose the optimum surface for yourself if you decide on the main requirements. You need a modern and innovative device that will quickly cook food, and you agree to tackle the selection of special dishes - the induction surface will surprise you.
Do not want to think about whether you put the right saucepan on the stove and whether the appliance works on your well-being - stop by the electric model.
