3. Precision Control: Perfect temperature control at your fingertips.
4. Safety First: Cool-to-touch surface reduces burn risks.
5. Easy Cleaning: Smooth surface wipes clean in seconds.

How do induction cooktops work? 

Induction cooktops use electromagnetic fields to directly heat cookware. Here's how they work:

1. Electromagnetic Field: Coils beneath the cooktop surface generate an electromagnetic field when the cooktop is turned on.

2. Direct Heating: This field induces electric currents in the cookware, heating it directly rather than the cooktop surface.

3. Cookware Compatibility: Only magnetic cookware (like cast iron or certain stainless steel) will work with induction cooktops, as it’s necessary to create the field needed for heating.

4. Efficiency: Since the heat is generated in the cookware itself, induction cooktops are more efficient and offer precise temperature control.

It's a fast and safe cooking method, with the cooktop surface remaining relatively cool.

What cookware is compatible?

Induction cooktops require cookware that is magnetic. Here’s what works best:

1. Cast Iron: Excellent for induction cooking due to its magnetic properties.
2. Stainless Steel: Many types are compatible, but it’s best to check for magnetic properties.
3. Carbon Steel: Similar to cast iron, it works well with induction cooktops.
4. Induction-Ready Cookware: Some cookware is specifically labelled as induction-compatible.

Tip: To check compatibility, see if a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware. If it does, it should work on an induction cooktop.

How do I clean my induction cooktop?

Cleaning your induction cooktop is quick and easy! Here's how:

1. Allow it to cool: Always make sure the surface has cooled down completely before cleaning.

2. Wipe away spills immediately: Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills or splatters as soon as they occur, preventing stains from setting.

3. Use a gentle cleaner: Apply a small amount of a non-abrasive cleaner designed for glass or ceramic surfaces. You can also use a mixture of water and a few drops of mild dish soap.

4. Clean with a soft cloth or sponge: Gently wipe the surface in circular motions to remove dirt and residue.

5. Remove streaks: Use a clean, dry microfiber cloth to buff the surface to a streak-free shine.

6. For stubborn stains: Use a specialized cooktop scraper or cleaner, but always follow the manufacturer’s instructions to avoid damaging the surface.

Tip: Avoid abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals, as they can scratch or damage the glass surface of your induction cooktop.

Keep it clean, and your cooktop will look great and perform efficiently for years!
