All About Induction Cookware
Induction cooking has been around for centuries and is still a popular way to prepare many types of meals in today's kitchens. The way that induction works is by generating heat directly to the induction cookware directly rather than by a stovetop. Want to know if your cookware is induction ready? You can find out by simply placing a refrigerator magnet on the bottom of the pan, and if it fits then it is ready! The test is truly that simple and requires no further efforts or research to find out. Like most cooking techniques there are benefits and drawbacks to the use of induction cooking. Induction offers rapid heating, a great heating consistency, and improved thermal efficiency! Depending on the power your induction source has will determine how long it takes to boil water and cook other dishes. The type of induction cookware you use will also affect how your food is prepared and cooked.
The drawbacks to induction cookware may cause you to stray away from this source simply because of the cookware it does not support. Glass, ceramic, copper, and aluminum cookware will not work with the induction style of cooking. If you have the "clad" style of cookware, this will still work with induction and should have no problems doing so. The best type of pans to use are those with flat bottoms because the more curved they get, the less effect they are with induction cooking. It may seem that induction cookware is hard to get or find but as long as you know what to look for it can be very easy.Cookware for induction cooking can be found at many retails both locally and on the web. Sets of cookware can cost you a couple hundred dollars but it is much cheaper than buying these pieces separately. The higher you go in quality and name brands, the higher the cost will rise.
Products like the John Pawson for Demeyere 7 piece cook set can cost you up to $1,200.00 but according to the reviews is worth the pretty penny. No matter what set or brand you decide to purchase it is always smart to read reviews and testimonials by people who have purchased and used the products. Something you read in a review could help you stay away or steer towards the perfect cookware to use for your induction cooking needs.
