Induction cooking made easy
We have turned up the heat in the kitchen, sustainably of course, introducing induction cooktops - Technika for Essence and SMEG™ for Luxury in our ‘Solar All Electric’ homes.
Induction cooktops continue to grow in popularity, with the use of magnetic currents to heat pots and pans directly.
The result is a cooking experience which is more precise and far simpler to clean up with its flat surfaces.
We unpack this revolutionary induction cooktop experience, its benefits and tips to embrace this innovative cooking method, today.
Introducing induction cooktops
If you’re after a fast and hassle-free cooking experience in the kitchen, look no further than an induction cooktop. Induction technology produces results twice as fast as gas, slashing the time that you need to be hovering over a cooktop.
Induction cooktops are also very clever and sustainable.
Induction cooktops are 95 per cent energy efficient compared to gas where 35-65 per cent of energy is lost in the atmosphere, heating your kitchen and not your ingredients!
Temperature control shines with its ability to maintain a constant temperature, including warm or simmering functions. It is that consistency which will bring out the best meal outcomes!
Special features aplenty
Induction cooktops boast a handy timer function, which switches off the cooktop at the prescribed time. There is no second guessing if you have left the stove on with this nifty feature.
Induction cooktops also feature a boost function which allows for large quantities of water to boil quickly. Perfect for multiple hungry mouths when cooking pasta, this function can convert a spaghetti bolognese in record time.
Getting your wok on
Operating an induction cooktop does not mean you have to compromise on any cooking techniques. Using a wok can be done on an induction cooktop as long as it is made from a ferromagnetic material such as stainless steel or cast iron and it must have a flat base. The ferromagnetic material helps create an electro-magnetic force between the cooktop and wok to generate heat. Check out SMEG’s™ latest induction 50’s style wok.
Getting your wok hot quickly is paramount for the ultimate stir fry and with an induction cooktop, it has a rapid response in coming up to your desired temperature perfectly. Your beef and broccoli or chicken Pad Thai will be made in a flash with a piping hot wok all ready for you that is also consistent in heat distribution.
