Choosing an efficient hob for work and equipping your kitchen with the latest fashion and technology is easy today. The most popular glass-ceramic and induction cookers. But to find out which model is better - induction or glass-ceramic, we will try.
Glass ceramics and induction - what are the differences
Here it is immediately worth clarifying what it is - a glass-ceramic surface and an induction stove.
Glass ceramics
Such a model can have several types of heating elements - the stove can perform heating with a tape heating element, halogen or a conventional spiral. But any heating element will be under the coating, which is made of a single sheet of glass-ceramic.
Induction model
It has the main difference - its “method” of heating is very different from other plates. Here the surface will not be heated, but the dishes themselves through the creation of eddy currents. That is, such a panel will have an induction type of heating element, which is hidden under a glass-ceramic surface.
Glass ceramics and induction - features and benefits
Let's see how quickly the hotplates heat up, what degree of safety and what else each representative can do.
| Options | Induction | Glass ceramic |
|---|---|---|
| How long does it take to boil a liter of water | Perform a task in two or three minutes | Perform the task in 5-7 minutes |
| Degree of surface heating | The panel will not heat up, because the main task of induction is to heat the dishes | The panel will heat up, since the heating element must first be heated, and only then the dishes |
| Security level | Since the surface does not heat up, the risk of burns is minimal.
The stove is equipped with automatic switching on and off - put the pan on - the cooker turned on, removed - turned off |
The surface of the burner can heat up to high temperatures.
The cooking process should be monitored and independently remove the dishes from the stove. |
| What is the surface afraid of? | "Wrong" dishes - for this model you need to pick up special dishes, which will be equipped with a magnetic bottom | Scratching, especially from sugar crystals, salt
Point strike Heating a dirty surface, especially multiple |
The glass ceramic panel will be cheaper than induction and will not require the cost of a new dish. Induction model will appreciate the security level. Both panels will surprise with a beautiful and sophisticated design and high heating rate of the burners.
