Description
The PowerPac Induction Cooker PPIC888 consists of copper coils beneath a ceramic Crystal Plate. When electricity runs through the copper coils, it "induces" (or causes) an electric current to flow in a utensil (pot/pan) containing a magnetic material such as stainless steel placed on the Crystal Plate. As the utensil resists this current, heat is generated very quickly and evenly throughout the utensil, cooking the food inside evenly; similar to the use of a hot flame or electric hot plate.
Its main characteristics are as follows:
- No hot spots in the utensil, so food is cooked evenly, with no part burnt or undercooked
- The bottom of the utensil would not develop ugly patches of black, unlike if a hot gas flame or electric hot plate was used
- Energy transfer from electrical energy to heat energy using electrical induction is more efficient compared to using a hot gas flame or electric hot plate
- There is also no flame, and the surface plate is not heated, so it is very safe to use in the kitchen
- Environmentally-friendly: no fire, smoke or carbon monoxide
- Easy to clean: Crystal Plate can be wiped with soft sponge moistened with detergent and water
- Make sure that your utensil is made of stainless steel, a magnetic material. Copper and aluminium are NOT magnetic and cannot be used, unless they have additional coatings of Stainless steel at the bottom
- Although it is unlikely, an Induction device may interfere with a pacemaker, and anyone fitted with such should stand 2 feet (60 cm) from an Induction Cooker
- Safety: numerous protections installed
