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.
