How do you choose an induction cooktop?
Choose induction cooktop
Induction cooktops have various useful functions. Ask yourself the following questions to choose the right cooktop:
- Do you grill often?
- Do you want to keep your food warm for longer?
- Do you want to bring water to a boil fast?
- Do you often roast meat?
- Do you want to cook safely?
Do you grill often?
With a flexible cooking zone, you can easily create space for elongated roasting pans or grill plates. You can use the 2 cooking zones as separate zones while you cook rice or potatoes. Want to grill asparagus or a piece of salmon on a grill plate? Connect the 2 cooking zones with a touch of the button to create 1 elongated cooking zone.
Want to keep your food warm for longer?
With a keep-warm function, you can keep your food warm without burning it. That's useful if 1 dish is done sooner than the rest, or if you want to cook an extensive meal during the holidays. Doesn't everyone get home at the same time? With the keep-warm function, everyone can enjoy a warm meal.
Do you want to bring water to a boil fast?
With a boost function, the water in the pot boils much faster. This way, you can quickly continue with your soup or your pasta. The cooktop distributes the heat directly to the bottom of the pot so it heats up faster. Nowadays, almost every induction cooktop has a boost function. Want the cooktop to automatically switch off the boost function? Choose a model with an auto heat-up function. This automatically switches off when the water in the pan starts boiling.
Do you often roast meat?
if you often roast meat, a temperature control is a useful addition. Via this sensor, you can set the temperature of a cooking zone very accurately. The cooktop keeps the temperature constant, so your meat cooks evenly. This way, your steak won't burn and you can prepare your food exactly how you like it.
Want to cook safely?
Almost every induction cooktop has pan recognition. This allows the cooktop to detect which cooking zone a pan is on. Is there no pan on the cooking zones? The cooking zone won't heat up and it'll automatically switch off. This is safer than cooking with a gas or ceramic cooktop, but it also doesn't consume more energy than necessary this way.
