Question 1

How does an induction stove work?

Accepted Answer

Induction stoves use electromagnetic energy to directly heat cookware. Unlike gas or electric stoves, they don’t generate heat on the surface but transfer it directly to induction-compatible pots and pans.

Question 2

What type of cookware can I use on an induction stove?

Accepted Answer

Only cookware with a magnetic base, such as stainless steel or cast iron, works on induction stoves. To check compatibility, place a magnet on the bottom of the pan—if it sticks, it's induction-friendly.

Question 3

Is an induction stove more energy-efficient than gas or electric stoves?

Accepted Answer

Yes, induction stoves are more energy-efficient because they directly heat the cookware, reducing heat loss. They cook food faster and use less electricity compared to traditional stoves.

Question 4

Can I touch the surface of an induction stove while it's on?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the surface of an induction stove stays relatively cool to the touch because heat is only generated in the cookware. However, residual heat from hot pans can make the surface warm.

Question 5

Do induction stoves require special installation or electrical settings?

Accepted Answer

Most induction stoves require a standard power outlet, but some high-power models may need a dedicated circuit. It's best to check the wattage and voltage requirements before installation.
