There is no doubt that induction cooktops have become an important part of modern kitchens in recent times. Induction is an economical option amid rising LPG prices. These save energy and fuel as well as make the kitchen more attractive. Induction cooktops are easy to use and clean. They also help in controlling the temperature easily during cooking. But did you know that cooking on these cooktops requires special induction-friendly utensils and cookware? For this, such utensils are used which are fit with its technology. These utensils do not need to be of heavy bottom like those used on gas.
how to use utensils
– Induction heats the pot and not the surface of the cooktop. Choose wide, flat-bottomed pots to distribute the heat easily. Check the flatness of the cookware by moving a ruler around the bottom.
– Induction cooking may involve some vibration which is completely normal. Heavy, sturdier lids can hold up right and withstand more vibration than lighter ones.
– Get utensils with well-attached, durable handles to avoid any vibrations that may reduce exposure.
Keep in mind that induction cooktops use copper coils to generate heat from electric currents directly into your cookware. For induction cooktops to work, pots and pans must have a magnetic and flat bottom. Take a vessel to test it. Hold a magnet on the bottom surface. Does it stick firmly? If yes then this is the right induction cookware.
