Glass-ceramic and induction cookers are stylish and externally very similar to each other kitchen appliances. However, there are some differences between them.
Safety
Glass-ceramic plate is good in that the surface of the furnace heats up only where the burners are located. Therefore, it is quite difficult to burn such an oven. Induction cookers do not heat at all, the temperature rise here is observed exclusively on the surface of the dishes.
Heating and cooling rate
Glass ceramic plates are quickly "accelerated" to high temperatures. To boil water on these stoves will take less time than on gas, but slightly more than on induction.
Cools the glass ceramic plate for a long time after shutdown, which saves energy significantly. Induction furnaces are more "nimble" when the dishes are heated, but since only cookware is heated on these furnaces, they do not need time to cool the surface.
Cookware for
furnaces Glass-ceramic plates require utensils with a flat bottom without flaws, in the area completely coinciding with the area of the burner. Here you can not use pots of aluminum or copper, as they leave inaccurate traces on the plate. As a dish for induction cookers, you can use only one that is able to magnetize. Otherwise, the tank simply does not heat up.
Care
Glass-ceramic plates require more thorough care, since in time, uneaten food residues from the surface may in the future remind themselves of indelible stains and stains on glass ceramics.
After removal of contamination, such surface should be rubbed with special means, in which there are no abrasive particles. To clean the surface of the induction furnace, simply clean it with a damp sponge and then with a dry cloth.
What is the difference between an induction cooker from a glass ceramic we figured out, but it's difficult to decide which one is better. Therefore, it is better to choose an alternative option - a plate, two burners that are made of glass ceramics, and two - induction.
