Temperature preparation of dishes on an induction plate. What is worth knowing about the induction plate so as not to be disappointed in the purchase. Turning on and off order

Induction plates or panels are the result of the development of traditional kitchen appliances. Their main difference from others is a prince of work. If everything is clear with the gas stove, everything is clear - the combustion of gas fuel leads to the heating of the dishes and products in it are embossed. In an electric furnace, heating is carried out due to the fact that the electric current passing through the heating element generates a certain amount of thermal energy.

The inductive panel works on the basis of other physical phenomena. Cooking on such equipment is carried out due to induction. The current passing through the coils of the inductive coil is converted to an alternating magnetic field. It warms the dishes due to the resulting vortex field.

How to use induction slab

In order for the furnace to work for a long time and without any special problems from the user, only one thing will be required - in accuracy to fulfill the requirements given in the instruction manual. This document describes the procedure for selecting the location of the model, the order of its inclusion and operation.

How to connect the stove

The main tool that will be required to connect the device to the network is a screwdriver.. Directly for connectivity, you will need to purchase a certain amount of triple power cable. Most often use a cable with a cross section from 4 to 6 square meters. mm. The lengths of this cable should be enough to the panel connection location. As a rule, the package includes 4-wire cable. 2 veins, brown and black - these are phases, lived of blue color - "0", and yellow-green wire - Earth. Wire ends need to be cleaned. On the back of the product there is a rowing, which is installed stripped wires. Free end must be connected to the house electrical network.

How to turn on the induction slab

So, the panel is included in the network. After the end of this process, some models sign that everything proceeds in normal mode, and the panel can be turned on.

In the control panel, as a rule, there is a start / stop button, pressing the device to turn on.

Enabling and maintenance.

Before starting work, it makes sense to clean the surface from packaging residues and traces of adhesive substances that could remain after production. By the way, in the first minutes of operation it can smelled with burning rubber. But it is not particularly worried about, this unpleasant spirit will soon be deleted.

Turning on cooking zones.

For each individual zone, separate buttons are provided on the control panel, in addition, some models provide separate regulators. Power is set from 0 to 9.

In the instruction manual, it is described in detail which power modes are optimal for boiling, and which for heating or direct cooking.

How to turn off the induction panel

After graduating from cooking, you need to turn off the panel. To do this, you can press the "Start / Stop" button or wait a certain time, after which the panel itself goes into standby mode.

How to cook on an induction plate

For cooking, you need to prepare the necessary products and, of course, dishes, about it below.

We select dishes for induction plates

For cooking on inductive furnaces, it is advisable apply specialized utensils made of ferromagnetic materials. This is determined by the physical principle, which underlies its work. The vortex currents that create heat in the dishes are most effectively affected by ferromagnetic dishes. If the consumer has no desire to spend money on the purchase of new dishes, you can buy an adapter, made in the form of a disk and stacked on the burner, thus, it will be possible to use the usual kitchen utensils (glass, aluminum, etc.). This adapter will take on the action of vortex currents, and warmer, transmitting heat to it installed.

IMPORTANT!

Find out the selected dishes for use on an induction oven, or - no ordinary magnet will help. It is enough to bring to the dishes enough, and if it sticks out, the dishes can be used for cooking on such equipment.

The optimal solution will be the use of dishes with a thick bottom.

We understand in the modes

In order for the cooking process to become easier, manufacturers try to establish more functions, and some of them, in fact, can bring certain benefits. For example, the Booster feature, which allows you to transfer power from the burner to the burner. It makes it possible to pick up energy from a free burner. This allows you to cook food somewhat faster.

Heat support mode - Its presence allows you to leave the cooked food on the stove, and that will not be able to cool for a long time.

Emergency turn-off It will work, when liquid will fall on the cooking surface. As a result, all the burners are turned off.

Separate models offer users a variety of modes that allow you to prepare chop or smear mushrooms.

How to unlock induction slabs

In some cases, there is a need to block the plates, for example, from small children who can indulge with the control panel. On the front panel can be placed with the image of the lock. After clicking on it, the stove control will occur. To shut down it, you must press two buttons at the same time, as a rule, these are the "plus" and "minus" coppes, after pressing you need to withstand a certain time.

Features of cooking on the induction plate

One of the main features of the inductive plate is the speed of preparation. All who use it in everyday life celebrate her fast work. Consider this on the example of the manufacture of ordinary scrambled eggs. So, the scrambled eggs on average will be ready after 12-15 minutes, on an inductive oven, cooking time will take no more than 4 minutes.

Important!

For those who only master this device, at first it is necessary to strictly follow the instructions marked in the prescription books. And only after receiving some experience you can cook yourself.

Security Rules when working with induction slab

An inductive oven is an electrical device and, accordingly, its operation should be carried out in accordance with electrical work safety measures.

The connection must be performed only to the network that meets the requirements defined in the instruction manual.
It is unacceptable to close the panel through which the internal cavity of the device is carried out.
The equipment must be protected from moisture ingress inside the housing.
Cleaning and maintaining an inductive instrument can be carried out only after turning off the device from an electric current.

Following these tips, you can simply use the induction slab, and it will last at the same time.

Is it worth buying an induction cooking panel? Maybe it is harmful and even dangerous? But at home children! How will electromagnetic radiation affect them? When will it manifest and how? I confess honestly, literally half a year ago I didn't know what induction cooker. Somehow did not happen to think about it. The situation in one moment changed his majesty. You know how it happens. It was just that everything was fine and suddenly ... After falling the pan on the old Siemens slab with a glass-ceramic surface and the appearance in the last crack, I had to think about replacing the entire device. Here in the field of my vision and came new-fashioned induction cooking surfaces. I decided to buy such a thing and check on myself all the wonderful properties that they attribute to them. From the moment six months have passed. It's time to draw conclusions.

What and for whom this article is written

In general, in this article I would not like to somehow write a description of a specific model. Over time, it will still be removed from production, if not removed. I have passed half a year :).

I'm going to talk about what is induction panelWhat is the principles of its work than it is good, and what is its weaknesses.

Most likely the article will be useful for those as well as I have never thought about replacing your old good slab. But there are different situations. Someone will drop something heavy on the glass ceramics. Someone will buy a new headset and will need an embedded device. Someone has a trite brace.

It is at that moment that a person usually begins to look for a replacement on the Internet and suddenly comes up for a previously unfamiliar combination " induction cooking surface" or " panel"Maybe you never encountered such plates. Maybe heard opinions from acquaintances, but did not pay attention to them. Just because your old slab has completely coped with your duties. Why do you need unnecessary information. And suddenly you Face to face stand up before choosing: what panel to buy?

I have this "suddenly" happened in the store where I came to take a new slab instead of broken. At first, I did not suspect anything and just went between the rows, considering the exhibited samples.

They were very different. From the simplest three-kontuctor electric stove "Lysva" (I wonder who guessed to give her such a "sonorous" name) to ... Here I had the first acquaintance with induction plates. I never assumed that the usual appearance of a cooking surface, and even embedded in the surface kitchen table (That is, no oven) can cost about sixty thousand rubles.

On my ironic question, "what they wriggle there," the seller "not blinking with a look" replied that this, they say, the induction panel of the premium class. Next, at my request, he told what the "induction panel" is and how it differs from the heating element.

I confess, all his arguments first did not have any effect. So what is that faster? We have no cost to hurry. So what to spend less energy? Well, there will be an account on a hundred rubles a month cheaper. So what?

What exactly did the seller tell me?

Than induction stove differs from ordinary

Do you have little children? - asked the seller.

Yes, I have a 5-year-old son - I replied.

He has never burned around a hot plate?

I remembered: about a year ago my baby really died about the stove. Just passed by and took a hand for the surface. The stove was already turned off, but the place where the pan was standing, remained very hot.

Yes, it was - I was forced to admit me.

If you had an induction surface, this would not happen. It does not heat up.

From now on, we have a "scientific" conversation. I really became wondering how it could be: the plates of the surface remains cold, and only the pan itself is heated, and the pan is heated.

It turned out that to heat the dishes in the induction cooker, the same principle is used as in electrical transformer. Do you know how the transformer works? Let's just in case I will tell you quickly.

Surely you know that the transformer is such a heavy thing. There are 4 wires out of it. One pair is stuck in a conventional outlet, the voltage in which, as is known, 220 volts. On another pair of wires, the voltage, oddly enough, 12 volts. Or 9. or at all 4.5.

Let's not go into the details of the rest electrical circuit The power adapter, but it turns out that the mobile phone can be turned on in the outlet to recharge the total, say, 3.6 volts.

How does such a significant reduction in voltage? Let's look at the picture:

On one pair of contacts, we supply 220 volts from the socket (U1). As a result, a magnetic field is formed in the metallic core of the transformer. In another transformer winding, directly connected with the first, oddly also there is an electric current with a voltage ... But it already depends on the number of turns of the wire around the core.

Thus, due to the ratio of the number of turns in the primary and secondary windings, the desired voltage at the output is achieved.

In the induction plate, the primary winding (roughly speaking, the coil with wire) is under a glass-ceramic surface. The coil is a current of a very high frequency of 50-60 kilohertz. So-called vortex currents create around the coil, if you can put it, the cloud of electromagnetic radiation.

The bottom of the pan that we put on the surface of the slab falls into this "cloud". In it, under the action of the electromagnetic field, the processes leading to heating. In essence, the bottom of the pan becomes the second winding of the transformer.

The most amazing thing is that the glass-ceramic surface of the plate remains cold. Of course, it heats away from a preheated bottom of a pan or a frying pan, but this heating is nothing compared to the fire "pancake" of the ordinary plate "Lysva" or red, as well as looking scary, glass-ceramic.

In other words, if you turn on the burner induction panelbut do not put anything on it, it will simply turn off after a few seconds under the action of automation, without warming up any degree.

If you put a hand on the surface induction plateYou will not feel absolutely nothing, even if you turn on the appropriate burner to the maximum.

But if you put the correct pan on this slab (about what kind of dishes are suitable for induction panels, let's talk a little later), then it will immediately begin to warm it immediately. Literally a few seconds and you can no longer hold on hand for the bottom of the sudine - hot!

What to say there. Here see how quickly boils on the induction panel cold water.

How the induction stove works. Video

The 2-liter saucepan was filled with water with a temperature of +14 degrees. Then she was put on the stove. In the background, I specifically placed the clock. Usually there are, of course, not. They were needed in the frame to show that the video is not mounted. No traveler is all extraordated. And why should I fly? I do not sell cooking surfaces :). I just spend the experiment.

Then the stove was turned on to the maximum. In ordinary life, we never do that, but I was even interested to know what time these two liters boil. Almost immediately after inclusion, air bubbles appeared on the bottom of the pan, and the water that was at the bottom outside almost immediately evaporated (remember, suspicious hissing was heard at first).

The induction panel worked on limit revs. Soon the built-in fan turned on - apparently, the induction coil was harmed significantly. Next, you all saw themselves. It is forced to admit, at the very end, when it was necessary to turn off the plate, I climbed a little, so part of the water sheds to the surface.

Just do not think that I wrapped in beads from delight and try to reach in every way new technology And lower the traditional plates to the plinth level. Not at all. Just the fact is evident - if you need to boil the water very urgently, then the "induction" will cope with this faster.

In ordinary life, we never use this explosive warm-up mode. Normal power is 4-7 units out of ten, depending on the situation. Nevertheless, my wife quite definitely declares that on the new plate the initial heating is faster.

What is still good induction cooking panel

Another pleasant discovery that was done when using the device - "fueling" food from the pan does not burn to the surface. On the conventional Plate After all, how? If the milk "burst", then it is necessary or immediately erased it or then you have to roll the slab with a special scraper.

I remember on your own experience. If you immediately do not clean the surface as it should be, then over time, no other circles are formed from the remains of burnt food.

For six months of using the induction panel, we repeatedly have something "ran away". But the surface still looks like a new plate. It happens because the surface itself does not heat up. I already wrote that if you turn on the stove and put a hand on the burner, you will not feel anything at all. No heating. And the heat that comes from the heated dishes is not enough to form a burnt crust on the glass-ceramic surface.

My wife first reacted to the novelty a little wary. And when I learned that old dishes It may not work with a new slab, then also laughed. But literally after a couple of days, the falnial moods were changed with delights. To this day, she considers the induction panel a more successful choice, despite its significant cost.

An additional plus induction is more economical in terms of electricity consumption. He himself did not check, but he read on the Internet that the CPD plates with heating elements is about 60%. The induction panel - 90 - 95%. Is there some difference, right? Even if it is not so significant, as written on the Internet, it is still, even a small regular energy savings over the years have been embarrassed into significant amounts that remain in the family.

I think, over time, the stove will fully pay off and starts to give "profits".

What kind of utensils are needed for induction plates

I'll say right away: the problem with dishes is purely illusory. Just the fear of the eyes are great. You can easily use the induction panel without buying a new dish, even if none of your pots do not work directly with induction.

You can easily determine how much your dishes approaches future acquisition.

Everything is very simple. Take an ordinary magnet and try to lean it to all the saucepans and pans that you have in the kitchen. Those people who do not respond to a magnet with an induction panel will not work.

It will look like this: you put a saucepan with water and turn on the stove. The first few seconds everything will be as usual, but then the light indicator of the corresponding burner flashes and the stove will turn off, as if you simply turned on the stove, but nothing was put on it.

Many people say that ordinary enameled saucepans can safely throw out, but the dishes with a thick metal bottom is what you need.

All this is prejudice. Here you have an old good enameled saucepan, which is perfectly protected with an induction panel:

At the same time, the dishes of the firm of the company with a thick metal bottom categorically refuse to serve. The induction panel simply "does not see" her. Rather, I "doesn't feel". It discovered my wife and came to tell me that "with our slab something strange." I approached and could not understand for a long time why the pans with a thick bottom, made of stainless steel stainlessly "is not determined by the" induction slab.

Then brought a magnet - and for sure! The bottom of the dishes Zepter is not a magnetic. That was the number! Running on the Internet, I found out that the new dishes of this company already adapted. I have a set of 15 years ago. At that time, they also did not know what the induction panel is.

I had to get a tile with mezzani and cook on it. But there was a new question: how to be next? Do not all the time use tiles all the time?

The most successful way out of this situation is to purchase an adapter for induction plates. This is such a metal pancake, which you put on the surface of the plate, and already put a saucepan on it, which can not work with induction. When the slab is turned on, the adapter is heated and transfers the heat to the pan.

Of course, it looks all this slightly strange, but much cheaper to buy an adapter than to change the entire set of dishes the chapester.

Many people do not know about the existence of adapters. They throw out or distribute familiar dishes only because it does not work with the induction panel. The adapter costs from 1000 to 2000 rubles. It is much easier to buy it and enjoy the old good and so familiar dishes than to crushed and scold a husband on what the light stands for the fact that he has been driving home this "induction nonsense".

In short, you can not worry about the dishes. The main thing is to buy together with a slab one or two adapters and "continue to live".

What is dangerous induction cooking panel

It's time to target. Yet you need to know what to prepare if you are going to deal with induction.

The thing is that such a stove creates a rather strong electromagnetic field around itself, read, radiation. Some people as soon as hear the word "radiation", immediately begin to hide :). I remember, in the store one buyer immediately refused to buy an induction panel, only heard about strong electromagnetic fields.

It would be interesting to suggest her, once it went, to refuse to use the microwave, television, a mobile phone ... After all, all these and many others appliances Also emit, yes, how!

Induction panel - really source of a powerful electromagnetic field. You will not argue with it. But it comes off at a distance of 30-40 centimeters from the coil. Let's talk logically. If the field was stronger and extended to the meter and more, then according to the logic of things all metal items around themselves should also be heated. For example, pans on adjacent burners, metal knives and forks, the wall of the refrigerator - all this would be warm. But it does not happen.

If you are not going to put your head on the burner and keep there until you cook the dishes, then there is no particular danger for you.

Nevertheless, doctors warn with the use of the induction panel of those people who use pacemakers. Probably, it is very sensitive devices and even light oscillation electromagnetic background It will be sensitive for them.

And the rest ...

In our kitchen, the induction cooking surface appeared approximately half a year ago. It seems that it does not differ from the usual hobs.

it flat devicewhich is mounted directly to the surface of the table top kitchen headset. Right under it you can, oddly enough, make drawer For any kitchen utensils.

On the underside there is a fan for cooling coils:

Induction panel - Pretty powerful energy consumer, so for its connection it is worth using a separate cable track from the electric meter with an auto machine. If you turn on the panel to the same rosette as the refrigerator and microwave, then with simultaneous operation instruments, the wiring may not withstand. At best, select a fuse in the shield. At worst, you will have to hammer the wall and look for the place, wiring and short circuit.

It is desirable that the edges of the opening in the tabletop be covered with foil:

The cost of the induction panel, of course, is higher than that of a plate-like slab with heating elements. The minimum price I have seen in the store was 28,000 rubles. (Over time, everything tends to get cheaper). But, taking into account the efficiency of the device, you are very soon - literally for the year and a half - will return the cost of "overpayment" by saving electricity.

It is like CO. First we buy an expensive light bulb, and then many years save on electricity bills.

Output

Induction cooking panel Siemens It seemed to us a good solution. For all the time you use no complaints. Even my wife, so that a skeptic relative to all technical innovations, and then appreciated the convenience of work and, most importantly, the maintenance of the device. Remember, I wrote that the "fuel" food is not burning. Then it is easily erased from the surface with an ordinary cloth.

Despite the seeming high cost, the induction panel is an excellent choice. We recommend!

The induction plate is a cooking surface for cooking, which remains cold until the tableware with a magnetic bottom will be put on it. It is absolutely safe and saves to save on electricity. How the induction stove works and works, consider further.

How does the induction stove work and work?

The cooking surface is usually performed from glass ceramics or other dielectric and non-magnetic composite material. Under the surface of the induction plate there are inductors made of metal with good electrical conductivity in the form of a cylinder. They look like this:

When an alternating current of high frequency begins through the inductor of inductance, an alternating (pulsating) magnetic field occurs. This field goes beyond the coil, including above the slab surface. If the stove turns out the material with magnetic properties (iron), the alternating magnetic field excites the current current in it. This current passing through the conductor is experiencing resistance to its movement than and heats the object on the stove.

This phenomenon (currents induced by a magnetic field in the material that fell into the zone of action of the magnetic field) is called electromagnetic induction (the effect was opened by the British scientist Michael Faraday in 1831). Therefore, the plates whose work is based on this effect is called induction.

The circuit of the induction plate is presented below:

The frequency of oscillations of the magnetic field is from 20 to 60 kilohertz. The highest sound that can distinguish between an ordinary person - 16 kilohertz. The efficiency coefficient of the induction plate is very high - from 80% to 90% depending on the model. This means that getting the same dishes as on the usual plate, you will spend much less energy.

It should be noted that the surface of the plate during operation is heated not from the magnetic field, but only from the object on the stove. If you touch the slab during operation, the surface will be room temperature. Exception - area under pan (frying pan). This zone is heated from the bottom of the dishes. But if you remove the dishes, the heating will immediately stop (there is just nothing to bask), and the cooking surface will cool down to the temperature ambient Literally in a few seconds.

Induction plates are much safer any other - there is no likely to get a burn, carelessly putting a hand on the stove. Also reduced the likelihood of a fire - a rag or paper that fell on the cooking surface will never ignore.

Even the north-resistant materials during contact with the stove do not sleep and do not light up, including because even at high temperatures after removing the kitchen utensils from the surface, its temperature drops very quickly. Therefore, a plastic bottle with a children's mixture or a disposable plate will never nourish the stove.

In each model of the induction furnace there is a built-in timer. With it, you can create both solely to adjust the mode of cooking, and simply limit the amount of energy spent on dishes heated. In many models, there is a "boiling control" function, that is, the thermal sensor determines when the dish reached a temperature of 100 degrees, the specified time gives to bother, after which the furnace is turned off.

The digital indicator on the control panel may indicate several parameters:

temperature for each burner (to choose);
consumable power;
clock;
time cooking dishes on each burr.

When the furnace is disabled, the indicator will also display the appropriate information to the sensor so that you are not lost in guessing, which happened.

There are models of cooking surfaces, where part of the burdock is induction, and part are conventional electrical burners. All this is under the total glass-ceramic surface. If there are several induction burners, they can work as one, together warming up a large pan or a whole baking sheet, and the temperature is distributed along the bottom of the container evenly.

Viscable to see how the induction stove works, it is offered in the next roller:

Features of the induction plate

What features are noted with such a plate of the slab, select further:

There is no harm to cooking on such plates and can not be - neither in the process of preparation, nor when eating food. This is due to the fact that there is no powerful radiation that affects the physico-chemical composition.

It is still not worth approaching the top of the slab during work - the effect of a quickly fluctuated magnetic field on the human body is not well studied.

The processability of the furnace is much higher than that of a conventional electrical or gas furnace. That is why induction furnaces are still more expensive.
One of the main positive moments when working such a plate - there is absolutely no smell of Gary in your kitchen. On the electric stove heats a spiral, housing and a grid (about the same and with gas stove), and all the heated parts falls, oil and food particles, which burn and distinguish between the corresponding "aroma". And on the "induction" simply nothing to burn.
Such furnaces are equipped with temperature sensors, clearly withstand the specified temperature mode. Thus, you can program the cooking process literally commemorated, which is impossible to achieve on a conventional gas or electric stove.
Due to the fact that energy is consumed solely to increase and maintain the meal temperature, your kitchen retains comfortable atmosphere. During cooking, you do not overcome heat and stool, you do not need to turn on the air conditioner.

Managing most induction furnaces - sensory. A simple set of several buttons, however, gives you much more opportunities than the electrical or gas stove.
The furnace can serve you sound signals. If you set it up in a certain way, it will "call" you when the oil will boil on the pan, or the kettle will cook whistle.
Almost all induction furnaces are equipped with an additional emergency thermal sensor, follow the surface temperature. When the temperature is reached, for example, 250 degrees Celsius will automatically shut down. So you can not be afraid that you left the kettle on the plate turned on - smart electronics will force you when all the water is popping.
Induction furnaces also differ in the fact that they support the specified temperature much more precisely than in gas or electric stoves. This is because due to the lack of temperature interference for the thermoelement plate from the flow of gas or the beans, its accuracy is much higher.
You can right during cooking laying on the surface kitchen towelsso that the splashes of water and oil do not even fall on the cooking surface;
Even if food particles have fallen or shed on the stove, they will not be inlent and can be easily removed, because they will stop warm.
If all the burners simultaneously put pots, frying pan and kettle, then the total capacity of the plate will be artificially reduced - in order to reduce the load on the electronics in the stove and on the wiring in your home. This is a programmed function. For example, the total capacity of 3 kilowatts plates. But if you use all the burners, only 2.5 kilowatta will be spent.

On the characteristics, pros and cons of induction plates, you can learn from the following video:

Connect the induction slab is better than a separate cable from the electrical shield so that there are no problems with the wiring. Grounding is an integral part of the proper induction panel.

Where to install?

The huge plus induction burner is that it can be embedded in almost any place on the surface. kitchen table tops, just enough space. However, some points should be taken into account:

It is undesirable to be near such an oven metal pipes, corners or other conductive designs are not dangerous, but it can adversely affect the work of the furnace.
There should be enough space for ventilation, since the electronics inside the induction requires good cooling.
Do not be too compacted by the location of all kitchen units. The induction furnace allows you to save a lot of space, but it is not necessary to have it closer than 50 centimeters from the refrigerator, microwaves and other electrical appliances. It's not even in metal walls. The mutual influence of magnetic fields, electromagnetic radiation and high temperatures May be unpredictable.

After installation, it is undesirable to leave the glass-ceramic coating without care. It is better to buy for him special toolcontaining silicone. It will give your plate a refined brilliance and well-groomed look.

What kind of dishes to choose for cooking on the induction plate?

The induction furnace will simply not turn on and will not begin the warm-up process if the kitchen utensils put on it:

is not a current conductor;
is too good conductor;
has a diameter of less than 12 centimeters (about 5 inches);
it has a temperature above a certain maximum (usually 100 degrees Celsius).

The above conditions correspond to the complex of magnetic field sensors and temperature. Electronics even knows how to adjust the power, which is distributed depending on the size of the dishes. As a result, you will save electricity again.

It should be understood that any materials containing ferromagnets can heal on the induction plate, even if the materials themselves are not magnetic. For example, stainless steel or cast iron does not have pronounced magnetic properties, but they still contain iron - the material that has given the name of the Ferromagnet's property. Therefore, the stainless steel, and the cast iron is perfectly warmed up under the influence of the vortex currents of the induction furnace.

On a specialized dishes for induction heating, they put a special sign - a few vertical loops and inscription « Induction.».

They are usually made from the "white" cast iron.

The bottom of the vessel for heating by magnetic fields should be iron-containing - cast-iron, steel or stainless. The thickness of the bottom should be at least 2 millimeters thick. Dear and high-quality products have a bottom thickness of about a centimeter and any innovative non-stick coating (for example, titanium-ceramic).

For tanks with too small bottom (Turks, scenery) there are special iron coasters-circles that are perfectly hot on the induction furnace and transmit heat to small containers.

Ordinary iron enameled containers are also quite suitable, although if the bottom is thin and concave, they can publish unpleasant sounds. But due to the very rapid heating of the capacity, you will have to make these sounds for short.

In general, the main sign of suitability to increase the temperature from the oscillations of the magnetic field is: if the magnet is attracted to the dishes - such a tableware is suitable, if not attracted - it is not suitable.

Some unspecialized types of dishes can warm up unevenly. For example, the center of the frying pan can be hot, and the temperature at the walls will be in fifty degrees below. It is possible to fix it only to the replacement of dishes.

Another disadvantage of ordinary dishes is a damaged or loose bottom. A frying pan covered in the bottom of a nagar layer after a gas furnace, when used on an induction burner, it starts to make unpleasant odors, sounds and even smoke, because now the temperature is not growing outside, but from the inside. In addition, the deformed bottom can scratch the plate surface.

Naturally, not suitable for induction furnaces kitchenware From glass, ceramics, plastic, and other materials that do not contain metals. Also are not suitable copper, aluminum and other kitchen utensils from materials well conductive electric current. The fact is that for rapid heating, the magnetic fields requires that the conductor is bad. Then the vortex currents, experiencing large resistance, cause heating of the dishes, and from elevated temperatures the resistance increases even more.

What can not be done with an induction oven?

To independently do not cause problems in the work of such a cooking surface, it is worth considering the following restrictions:

It is impossible to work with an induction slab by those who have a pacemaker built in, since the magnetic field can adversely affect the implant. At a distance of half the meter, the field is almost indistinguishable, but it is better not to risk.
You can not allow contact credit cards, documents and other items with a magnetic field of induction plates. The same applies to cards mobile communications, mobile phones and other electronic devices.
It is impossible to use aluminum foil - it is too warm under the influence of induction currents and can provoke fire. This also applies to foil packages - chocolate bars, candy, milk packages, other similar items, including decorative foil ribbons for gifts, balloons, and so on.

Why does not it work?

If the induction stove does not work at all, it is possible to find the cause of the breakage as follows:

Check the power cord. Most often, it is shifted at the housing of the plate either at the outlet. If, when moving the cord, contact, it appears, it disappears - the problem is localized, it is necessary to fix the cord.
Try to remove the plug and insert into another outlet - it is possible that it is in it.
Make sure that the plates on the back of the plate is pressed (not far from the power of the power cord). Sometimes children or pets are managed to click on it and turn off the furnace from the network.

If everything is fine outside, you have to open the worktop. At first, just inspect the stuffing of the plate visually - unnoticed by any clearly unusual places. Here we check:

fuse;
terminals and wire connections (you can pull the screws with pleasure, just for prevention);

diode bridge;
power transistor;
power transformer.

After that, it remains to check the micro-controller and transistors through which the controller signals go. If the verification of all of the above elements did not reveal the cause of the problem, you will have to contact a specialized workshop.

In order not to have an excess headache with the repair of nonsense, install a predetermine the protection device from high voltage and connect the equipment through it.

Video: Induction stove against gas and electric

In the following video, the practical way is detected, what type of plate is better:

Induction plates and surfaces are almost perfect cooking devices. They are safe, economical, beautiful, comfortable, compact, and are also adjustable in wide limits. The food is prepared and heated very quickly. So that she served for a long time, it is worth carefully approaching installation, operation and care.

I want to introduce you to Kitfort's electric stove!

This is a miracle of technology with me not so long ago, but I'm already so accustomed that it was already ready to prepare on Gas! Good get used to good. This stove works on the principle of induction. Induction plates are very practical, modern, consume less energy than eletroplites from Soviet times.

So, we study the contents of the package: a box with a comfortable handle for carrying, a book-book instruction, warranty card, buyer's memo and a corporate magnet.

Opening the box, there is no other odor of cheap plastic. The stated performance of the slab - induction currents. So, these types of plates are working under the action of elkthrogenic induction, it means that the utensils must be appropriate. For the choice of dishes in the kit there is a special corporate magnet. We take a magnet and go to the store, some kind of dishes magnetite, and choose. Now it is all modern utensils, mostly ceramic (I will not talk in detail about the benefits of this dish). The main difference in choosing the dishes is a lot of small circles at the bottom of the dishes. This is.

The dishes were chosen, then study the instructions. Before the first use of the stove, the manufacturer warns that each burner has a maximum power of 2000 W. We multiply on two burners it turns out 4000 W, not weak! In our new building with a small kitchen, there is a power cable for an electric stove, the stated power of this power cable of 3700 W. Well ... Check the power of the power outlet with the help of electric stove from Kitfort, press the kw buttons * h / volt ... that's what you see

The stated power differs from the actual one. We will have this in mind, do not load the slab with a total of more than this power, but in principle the use of maximum power you need extremely rarely and not for a long time. Basically, the maximum of 2000 W I put only when you need to quickly bring the water before boiling. To boil water with a capacity of 2000 W, about 1 liter of water requires about 2 minutes! Story! Immediately I make a photo with boiling water and nested under the pans.

The surface of the plate does not heat up. The bottom of the skillet is heated, with the most quickly and unusual after gas and simple glass-ceramic electric stove. The stove does not burn what is absolutely safe in the house where children are especially small. The efficiency of the induction plate is much higher than simple electric stoves (which heat the surface of the burner and air) and gas (from which the impossible heat during the cooking and burning of oxygen). In addition, the slab has an indicator of the missing frying pan, as soon as you died the pan, the plate immediately stops to warm, does not spend elktrophenergy. Saving on the face!

On the buttons panel you see the programs of the auto offer: milk, frying, soup, porridge. In my experience of boiling milk on the program Milk, it does not run away! These programs, in my opinion pretty conditional. Suppose frying, this is a capacity of 1,400 W, this power depends on the first thickness of the dishes, secondly from the volume that fry. Personally, it is more convenient for me to regulate the power yourself, sometimes I use the temperature. Power ranges from 120 to 2000 W, with a step of 200 - it is very convenient. 11 power modes are easily adjusted for the desired power. The temperature has ranges from 60 to 280 degrees, everything is easily adjustable with convenient bands.

We start testing. There will be these to fry the cutlets. Turn on the frying pan, turned behind the cutlets, got them out of the package and immediately laying! Wait until the frying pan does not need :) it heats up lightning. I love to fry without butter, on ceramic dishes, inmeen on the induction plate is elementary! Although gas, using ceramic dishes, still have to add oil. On this slab, I successfully seize seizers in the dough, patties without oil. Healthy nutrition.

Now again about focus. Cutlets are roasting, moving a frying pan and put the hand during frying.

Cutlets were purchased, dry, for taste I had to add oil. When fervent from natural minced meat, a lot of juice and oil is not required of the cutlets. That's all ready. By the end of the cooking, check how much electricity is spent for cooking, by pressing the kw button * h / volt. With accuracy to a penny, you can calculate the cost of cooking dinner.

Also in the stove there is a cooking timer, save hot function. Here it is modern technique. You put dinner and go on your affairs, not experiencing.

In addition, I wanted to say about:

Attractive price compared to competitors, on the compliance of the need 4 burners in the modern world (multicooker, electric kettle).

About convenience for small kitchens (I have on 40 table top)

The slab does not need to "chemab" after cooking (just wipe with a cloth)

I use a slab year and I will say that I have already learned on the gas. Good get used to good :)

Modern manufacturers household appliances Regularly offer new, original home appliances. One of these new products is the induction plate. However, to use this unit effectively, it is necessary to know the features of its application. For cooking on induction plates, special dishes are required with a perfectly smooth bottom. What else do you have to use?

About the reasons for popularity

If you compare traditional gas, electric stoves and induction, the latter won by such parameters:

The speed of cooking. Thanks to a special principle of operation, the process of heating products in the dishes occurs at times faster.
Absolute security. The induction current interacts only with the bottom of the pan, frying pan, without heating at the same time the panel itself. Therefore, it is impossible to burn about the surface of such a plate.
The ability to accurately adjust the cooking temperature.
Easy care. Since food that fell on the surface of the plate does not burn, clean the working panel is very simple.
Wide functionality. The user has the ability to choose a convenient program for making a different dish.

On the choice of dishes

Do not everyone know what dishes should be used to prepare dishes on the induction plate. The creators of this equipment are advised to acquire special pots and frying pan with a smooth, dying bottom, which is magnetic. Many mistresses are asked if it is possible to use the usual dishes on the induction plate? No, traditional enameled or aluminum dishes does not fit.

To prepare food on an induction plate, you should choose pan, buckets, frying pan and other utensils in such characteristics:

Thickened bottom, a height of at least 6 cm and a diameter - 12 cm.
Bottom part The capacities used on the induction surface should be smooth. It is not allowed to use dishes with a concave, deformed bottom.
Kitchen utensils for a special slab must be made of ferromagnetic material. It is this alloy that reacts with copper heating elements.

To be able to prepare on an induction surface, you must purchase special dishes.

In this case, you will have to abandon the use of containers from:

Aluminum.
Copper.
Glass.

But the kitchen utensils from stainless steel, cast iron, with an enamelled surface is perfectly suitable.

Learning to cook on induction plates

The hostesses first encountered with induction surfaces are wondering if it is possible to fry on the induction plate? Of course, you can. For example, for frying pancakes, you should choose the largest power of the panel heating and install the frying pan. For quick warming, it is recommended to select 10 position. Then we pour the required number of test on the pan and reduce the power level to 5. For the roasted one side, the pancake is enough 7-8 seconds, after you can turn the dough and bake, on the other side.

Before starting to fry meat, the panel is recommended to be closed with a paper napkin or a towel. Then we establish the frying pan of the suitable diameter and heated at maximum power. We put meat on the pan and fry no more than 1 minute on each side. After receiving the appetizing crust, we reduce the level of heating power to 7, and prepare the dish for a few more minutes.

Is it possible to ignite coals on the induction plate? Certainly possible. To do this, take advantage of special dishes with a magnetic bottom. By laying the desired number of coal into the ass, we set it on the stove and turn on the maximum power. As soon as the coals become red, they should be removed from the surface.

Another question, which is often asked by the hostess, is it possible to leave dishes on the induction plate? Users respond that it is possible, provided that the slab is disabled.

In custody

The induction stove allows you to prepare any dish as soon as possible. However, to learn how to use this technique, it is recommended to learn instructions from manufacturers, acquire a special dishes. Not every mistress has the first time to use the stove. But with the acquisition of experience, users easily use equipment for cooking.
