There are several reasons for the popularity of the Max Burton 6000 Induction Cooktop, one of which is its low price and another is the free shipping, but more about that later. First I want to let you know how fantastic induction cooking. Sales of induction cooktops have doubled in the last couple of years and the trend is definitely up for the foreseeable future.
What are the advantages of induction cooking?
- Fast – Heats water to boiling in under a minute, better than gas
- Cools down instantly, unlike electric cooktops
- Waste heat will not raise the temperature in the kitchen
- Maintains a set coking temperature with it’s built-in heat sensor
- 80% – 90% efficient (much more than gas or electric)
- As convenient as electric, responsive as gas and much safer than both
- Easy cleaning – all the controls are touch sensitive (no buttons on the cooktop surface)
- Ecologically beneficial because you use much less power for the same cooking
Most of these advantages are obvious to understand but some others need a little explanation. For example, how does it cool down instantly? Where does the waste heat go? A small discussion of induction cooking will answer these questions. An induction cooktop does not generate any heat. What it does do is excite the metal molecules in the base of the pan which produces heat in the bottom of the pan only. So, when you remove the pan from the cooktop the only heat in the cooktop is from the pan radiating it back. The heat produced is only in the pan where as with an electric or gas appliance wasted heat is allowed to flow up the sides of he pan and into the kitchen.
The one real disadvantage is you need to have cookware that can be magnetized and it is a good conductor of heat. The good news is you probably have this kind of cookware in your kitchen already. If you take a magnet off the refrigerator and it sticks to the bottom of the pan it will work for induction cooktops. Cast iron cookware will work and with the temperature sensor in the cooktop you can use a dutch oven as a slow cooker because the sensor will maintain a constant temperature.
