Choosing a new stove, you probably pay attention to a variety of hobs. The most popular are electrical panels, and the most innovative - induction.The working principle of each representative is different and each model has its own “requirements”. Let's see how the induction hob differs from the electric one. And let's start with the main thing - how do such plates work?
Electric surface
In this model, the heating element is heated by flowing current. This heating element, in turn, heats the dishes. Electric surfaces are considered the most powerful of all household appliances, such plates are “powered”, of course, by electricity.
Induction surface
In this model, there is a special coil that creates a magnetic field. This coil is under glass ceramic coating. The coil is “fed” by the alternating current, which, passing through it, creates a field. In turn, this field heats the dishes, and the coil itself remains cold.
As you can see, surfaces have a different principle of operation - this is their main difference. Let's look at other differences of such fashionable and modern cooking surfaces.
| Electric | Induction |
|---|---|
| Does not require special dishes | Requires the selection of special dishes, which has ferromagnetic properties (with magnetic bottom) |
| Consumes more electricity | This stove will consume the minimum amount of energy due to the fact that the burner will be turned off in the absence of dishes |
| Such a stove can get very hot and cool slowly and there is a risk of getting burned. | The device does not heat up very much and cools in 10-15 seconds. |
| Does not create a magnetic field, which means it does not attract other devices and humans to work | Creates a magnetic field to which certain categories of people may be sensitive. |
| To boil 1 liter of water will take 10-12 minutes | To boil 1 liter of water will take 2.5 - 3 minutes |
| The cooking process must be monitored. | Food will not burn to the bottom of the dish exactly due to the principle of the device operation |
It will be easier for you to choose the optimal surface for yourself if you decide on the main requirements. You need a modern and innovative device that will quickly prepare food, and you agree to take up the selection of special dishes - the induction surface can surprise you.
You do not want to think about whether you put the right pot on the stove and whether the appliance will not affect your well-being - stop at the electrical model.
