Induction cooker power

The twenty-first century gives kitchen lovers a great opportunity to use convenient equipment.

Among them are induction cookers, which many already know about. Such a device does not spend electricity simply, for example, on heating the surface of a furnace.

The influence of the principle of operation on power consumption

To understand how the two concepts are interconnected - working capacity and power consumption, it is necessary to deal with each aspect individually.

How does an induction cooker work?

Device applies to electrical structures and has a familiar appearance.

but there is no heating element under the glass-ceramic surface. Instead of them the device is equipped with high-quality electromagnetic coils made specifically from copper.

They are needed in order to create a magnetic field. When this happens an electric current is created, which passes through the dishes. Accordingly, the food heats up.

Reference! Heating does not occur through the surface, so the dish is prepared quite quickly.

In addition, there is unit that controls the work process. With its help, the presence of an object on the stove is recognized. It turns on and off the same coils.

How the principle of operation affects energy consumption

Dealing with this issue is easy and simple. From the above we know that energy does not extend to the entire surface area, but only to the burner. Consequently, and much less energy is used.

In conventional stoves, tena at the beginning of work increases the temperature of the entire body, then heaters, and only in the very least - the dishes in which the product is located. This way to warm up and make food takes a huge amount of time. From this we can conclude that and energy has to be spent on a large scale.

Therefore, if we compare the induction cooker and the unit with a heating element, the advantage of the first is noticeable.

The first one will warm up a few liters of fluid in half an hour, and the other in a matter of minutes, provided that the power will be the same for both.

Even with the most powerful unit induction cooker will remain the most economical option of all possible as it reduces cooking time by 15-20 minutes.

Possibility of power adjustment

An additional advantage is the power adjustment. Induction cookers use touch control. You must press your fingers on the presented icons, so you will not find any buttons on the stove.

With just one touch, you can set the required powerrather than exert pressure several times.

Management is very smooth, therefore, the dish is guaranteed quality.

Such an action is carried out instantly, and setting up a small fire on other devices is not easy to perform.

The power controller allows you to save extra by choosing a low power level.

Pros and cons of induction cooker

Before making an expensive purchase, you need to carefully consider all the pros and cons.

Advantages

The main advantage of modern induction surfaces is an economical technique.

Due to the fact that energy does not escape into the environment, but is fed directly to the cookware, power consumption becomes much less in comparison with other types of plates.

• Besides efficiency typically reaches 90 percent.
• It means that all activity is aimed only at cooking, what affects the speed of the process.
• All the pluses should be mentioned. security. If you run out of electricity, only the hob you have turned on is active. Consequently, the probability of getting a burn is reduced to zero, even if, for example, your hand will lie on the surface.

reference. Savings begin with the first instant you turn on the device.

This is achieved thanks to several points.

• Heating occurs instantly.
• Heatformed on the bottom surface of the used dishes spent only on cooking.
• A self-acting switch trips when the object is removed from the surface of the plate.

Disadvantages

The disadvantages include use of electricity for work with this type of plate.

• If you are the owner of gas equipment, then existing wiring may not be enough powerful. And making a replacement yourself can be quite a difficult option.
• The device is able to provide slight negative effects on humans. Of course, you should not be so afraid of this, harm is done in small doses. But still it is advisable not to neglect this and adhere to some simple rules.

1. Do not contact the unit closely. Try to be as safe as possible - not less than half a meter (optimal - 30 centimeters).
2. If a person can avoid harm, then other devices can be significantly damaged. This applies to similar kitchen appliances, various cell phones and other gadgets. But it will not be so dangerous for them if removed at a safe distance.

Monthly consumption

Compare the characteristics of individual types of hobs. Take, for example, an electric cooker with glass ceramics, gas and induction. The last of them will be consumed one and a half times less than the rest, namely 0, 35 kW (why - indicated at the beginning of the article). With instant heating, they have the following mechanism: when the current is turned off, the coils will not produce magnetic flux, that is, the dishes will not heat up.

If it is regulated, then the changes will occur instantly, since the heat generation will be directed exclusively to the indicated place - one burner.

ATTENTION! To minimize energy consumption, you need to buy special dishes (pots, pans) that are designed specifically for this type of stove - induction.

Consumption calculation

Water heating:

• electric stove - 30 min. = 1.7 kW / h.
• Induction panel - 5.5 min. = 0.32 kW / h.

Monthly expense:

• electric stove - about 460 kW / h.
• Induction panel - about 155 kW / h.

We conclude: an induction device consumes electricity more efficiently, which means pay for electricity, too, will have less than it would be with other stoves.

Now you know how much the induction panel consumes. This will help to decide whether such a technique is needed or not.
