Do slow cooking processes and increasing electricity bills hinder your commercial cooking? Old-style cooking methods consume more time, money, energy, and making it harder to keep up with busy service demands. Commercial induction cooktops solve all these issues with cutting-edge technology.

By consuming less energy and requiring less cooking time, they deliver faster and more consistent results. No more waiting for pans to heat up or dealing with lopsided cooking. Induction cooking transforms efficiency saves money and boosts productivity in any kitchen.

How do induction cooktops work?

The unique operating mechanism of an induction cooktop is its efficiency. Instead of using a flame or electric coil, induction stoves use a magnetic field to generate heat. A current is induced in the cookware whenever the compatible pan is put on the induction stove, resulting in direct heating. This means that no energy is wasted because the pan heats up, while the cooktop remains relatively cool.

The energy efficiency of induction stoves

An induction stove is very efficient in terms of energy efficiency consumption. Gas stoves and electric coils simply waste much energy by heating the air around the cooking equipment.

Induction cooktops, on the other hand, transfer up to 90% of the energy to the pan, thus wasting very little. Gas stoves usually operate at around 40-50% efficiency and standard electric stoves at around 70%.

This means that cooking is faster, and energy usage is less. For example, boiling water on an induction stove takes half the time compared to a gas or electric stove. Over time, this efficiency can result in noticeable savings on your electricity bill.

Induction Cooktops and cost savings

While an induction stove might cost significantly more upfront to buy than any conventional stove, long-term money savings can largely compensate for a much higher original purchase price. These savings occur by saving electricity costs- more on those later.

·         Save electricity bills: Since induction stoves are more efficient with energy, they consume less electricity to provide the same cooking benefits. Cumulatively over a year or so, savings make a huge difference.

·         Faster Cooking time: Time and the speed of an induction cooktop reduces cooking time. This benefits busy homes or individuals who want to prepare food quickly without sacrificing quality.

·         Durability and Longevity: Induction stoves are durable and long-lasting with advanced features, such as scratch-resistant glass and intuitive controls. This means less frequent replacement or repair.

·         Lower maintenance cost: The surface of an induction cooktops does not heat up as hot as a traditional stove, which means that spills of food are less likely to burn and stick. This reduces cleaning costs and reduces wear and tear over time. 

Benefits to environment

Switching to an induction cooktop not only helps you save money but also benefits the planet.

Since it consumes less energy, the greenhouse emissions will be lower, especially if your electricity comes from renewable sources. Also, they can maintain a precise temperature that helps reduce food waste caused by burning or overcooking.

Tips to Maximize the efficiency of an induction cooktop

To get the most from your induction cooktop, remember the following tips:

ü  First and foremost, clean the induction stoves daily, for better use.

ü  If you live in an area with hard water, it is better to use plain distilled white vinegar to remove the white spots caused by hard water.

ü  When you use a new pan/utensil for cooking, clean the bottom of the induction cooktop. This is important to prevent the chances of burning the food.

ü  Always use cookware that is compatible with an induction cooktop. For best cooking results use stainless steel utensils because they work well with induction stoves.
