Why Use Induction Cooktops?

!±8± Why Use Induction Cooktops?

An induction cooktop heats food by generating the heat in the pot, pan, skillet, or other cooking device instead of in the stovetop. In order for this to work, the cooking device must also be an induction device. In other words it must have a bottom made of ferrous magnetic material and a diameter of at least four inches. Cast iron and stainless steel pots and pans are examples of induction cooking devices.

These cooktops are more energy efficient and heat faster than traditional electric cooktops. In addition, there is no heat radiating from the cooktop which does not add heat to the room making it even more energy efficient. Induction cooking equipment is now more affordable than in years past, so it is once again gaining popularity.

There are many different models of these cooktops on the market, ranging in wattages and features. The Duxtop Induction Cooktop produces up to 1800 watts of power, making it one of the most powerful induction cooktops on the market today. Most induction cooktops today use standard 110/120 electricity power sources and can be plugged into a standard household outlet.

The Duxtop 8100MC cooktop produces 1800 watts of power, making it 50 percent more powerful than gas cooktops and it heats up to the required temperature almost twice as fast as standard electric cooktops. This induction cooktop has power modes and temperature modes which operate independently of each other.

The power mode directly relates to the amount of wattage being generated and affects the speed of cooking. A higher power level increases the cooking speed of the food. Power levels range from 1 (200 watts) to 10 (1800 watts). The lower power levels are for simmering and the higher levels for boiling.

The temperature mode should be used when a specific temperature is required for cooking. Once that temperature is met, it will be maintained by the cooktop. Temperature modes range from 1 (140°F) to 10 (460°F). If a specific temperature is not required you should use the power mode instead.

Using an induction cooktop is an excellent way to efficiently cook foods without a lot of added costs.

Clean Your Induction Cooktop in These Four Easy Steps

!±8± Clean Your Induction Cooktop in These Four Easy Steps

Induction cooktops combine energy efficiency with a chic, ultra-modern look. Induction technology does not use traditional thermal technology, such as a gas flame or electric current. Induction cooktops generate heat via a magnetic field that reacts to the metal in a pan. Heat is only generated when the cooking pan is in contact with the cooking surface. Because they are made of glass, special precautions need to be taken when cleaning the cooktop surface. It is important to use only cleaners and cleaning pads specially designed to clean glassor ceramic surfaces.

Step 1. Clean the cooktop each day by applying a few drops of ceramic cooktop cleaner to the cooktop surface. The owner's manual provided with your cooktop may recommend specific manufacturers' products. Step 2. Using a cleaning pad or paper towel designed specifically for glass cooktops, spray the cleaner on the cooktop surface. Remove the cleaner from the surface with a dry paper towel. Step 3. For spills and burned-on residue, let the cooktop surface cool first before cleaning. Spray the ceramic cooktop cleaner directly on the spill or residue. Use a ceramic cooktop cleaning pad and scrub the area clean. Repeat as necessary until the residue is gone. Step 4. For heavily burned on gunk, use a scraper designed for cleaning a glass cooktop. Again, wait for the surface to cool completely before attempting to scrape off the residue. Apply pressure to scrape off the residue as needed. Then use the ceramic cooktop cleaner and cleaning pad to remove remaining residue, repeating as necessary.

With proper care, your induction cooktop should look great for as long as you own your home.
