Advantages and disadvantages of the induction hob

Induction hoobs are extremely popular, increasingly replacing classic gas hoobs. To learn about induction hoobs, we need to know how they work. Induction hoobs work on the principle of electromagnetic induction, this means that when a metal (ferromagnetic) pot is placed, a strong magnetic field is generated between the pot and the induction field. This causes the vessel to heat up. Electricity is used almost 100%, which translates into a faster cooking process.

Advantages of induction hoob

One of the most important advantages of induction hoobs is energy savings. Induction hoobs recognize the size of the cookware, which translates into 100% use of electricity.

Another advantage is speeding up cooking time, thanks to the use of high heating power, new induction hobs can boil water in a pot or kettle in about 1 minute.

In addition, using an induction cooktop is safe. By using an induction cooktop, you reduce the risk of getting burned. The hob does not heat up while cooking. It remains slightly warm, this is due to the contact of the warm pot with the glass.

Another advantage is the ease of keeping the hob surface clean. Falling pieces of food, leaking water from cooking is not terrible, as this will not burn directly on the surface of the plate. When finished, the surface of the hob just needs to be wiped with a soft cloth with glass cleaner.

In addition, using an induction cooktop, we do not worry about accidental switching on, since the cooktop will not heat any field, unless there is a suitable pot on it.

The induction cooktop is characterized by its ease of selection for the kitchen. The user does not have a problem with the choice of color, as the black glass matches any black glass, field marking issues are an individual choice.

Disadvantages of induction cooktop

The main disadvantage of the induction cooktop is the initial large investment. High costs are generated by buying the induction hob itself, where prices start from about 1000 zlotys, in addition, you need to add the cost of special pots made of ferromagnetic steel – ordinary pots are not suitable for the induction hob.

Another disadvantage is the specificity of operation, that is, the generation of an electromagnetic field. Due to the high magnetic field, it is not recommended to use the hob for people who have a pacemaker.

Popular features used in BERG induction hoobs:

Control lock (Child Lock) – involves temporarily locking the control so that you have peace of mind when taking care of children, etc.

Timer – setting the cooking time is one of the most important features, it is very useful, it involves setting a specific cooking time for a particular field.

Auto shut-off – involves automatically turning off the hob after a minute without the presence of a pot on a particular cooking field.

Residual heat indicator – warns against accidentally touching a hot field and burning yourself.

Booster – this is the maximum available heating level in the induction hob on a given field.

Slider control – this type of control makes it easier to control the operation of the hob, allows faster and more accurate selection of the available heating power for a given field. It can be for a single field or up to

FlexZone – this is a feature that connects two marked fields so that they work at the same time with the same power. They are helpful for baking pans and all elongated cookware.
