Induction cooking heats a cooking vessel by magnetic induction, instead of by thermal conductionfrom a flame, or an electrical heating element. For nearly all models of induction cooktops, a cooking vessel must be made of or contain a ferromagneticmetal such as cast iron or stainless steel. Copper, glass and aluminum vessels can be placed on a ferromagnetic interface disk which functions as a conventional hotplate.
How Induction Cooking Works:
- The element's electronics power a coil (the red lines) that produces a high-frequency electromagnetic field (represented by the orange lines).
- That field penetrates the metal of the ferrous (magnetic-material) cooking vessel and sets up a circulating electric current, which generates heat. (But see the note below.)
- The heat generated in the cooking vessel is transferred to the vessel's contents.
- Nothing outside the vessel is affected by the field--as soon as the vessel is removed from the element, or the element turned off, heat generation stops.
