Induction Burner

The use of induction burners makes cooking more energy-efficient, faster, safer and cleaner. Induction heats food up in a different way compared with traditional gas- or electric-based heating. Fagor has produced a portable induction cook top unit that allows you to take advantage of induction cooking indoor or outdoor, at home or on a boat.

Fagor Portable Induction Cooktop

What are the basics of induction?

The Fagor induction cook top contains magnetic coils which generate a high frequency electromagnetic field when the unit is switched on. The electromagnetic field interacts with the steel (or iron-based) cooking vessel and generates heat that cooks the contents within the vessel. Because the heating is not done via conduction, the actual cooktop surface does not get hot during this process!

What are the main benefits of induction?

• It is more energy efficient: It does not waste energy heating up the cooktop and instead transfer energy directly to the cooking vessel. It uses about 90% of the energy supplied to do the heating of the food.
• It is faster: It is around 50% faster than gas or electric.
• It is safer: The cooktop surface remains cool during the cooking process, though, of course, the cooking vessel does get hot. It produces no flames or fumes.
• It is cleaner: Food does not get baked-on or burned on the cooktop. Cleaning is easy.

What kind of cookware is compatible with induction?

It works with many types of cookware. A good test is to use any refrigerator magnet and see if it sticks to the bottom of the cookware. If it does, the cookware will work with induction. Cookware listed below works with induction:

• Stainless steel with magnetic bottom
• Cast iron
• Enamel iron and steel

The Fagor portable induction burner can be used as an additional cooking zone in the kitchen, placed at the center of the dining table for cooking novel or fun dishes, or taken outside for barbecues. Moreover it saves energy and electric bills. It has received many positive customer reviews.
