Induction Cooking with Copper Coils
What is Induction Cooking? Induction heating or wherein heat is generated directly in the cooking pot rather than transfer of heat from electric coil or burning flame to the cooking pot is the theory used in case of induction cooking. The vessels used for cooking thus have to be ferromagnetic in property to support the theory of induction cooking. However, any metallic pot can be used, but steel vessels are preferred because of its magnetic properties. The magnetic characteristics of the steel vessel concentrates the induced current in a thin layer near the surface rather than penetrating too far as in case of aluminum vessels, thus making the heating more effective. In addition, in case of aluminum vessels, the induced current also faces certain amount of resistance from the metal. Ferromagnetic pots created especially for the induction cookers are specially designed so that they stick to the magnet. Where Copper is used in Induction Cookers? A coil of copper is placed ju...
