INDUCTION & ENERGY EFFICIENCY
In today's culinary world, efficiency and sustainability are no longer optional, they're essential. Induction cooking has emerged as a game changing solution. Offering unmatched precision, faster heat times, and energy savings, many kitchens are using this. But what exactly makes induction so energy efficient, and why is it being embraced around the world? Induction cooking uses electromagnetic energy to directly heat pots and pans, rather than heating a burner or coil first.
Why is Induction Cooking a better option?
-
Energy efficiency
Induction (90% Efficient) transfers heat directly to the cookware, wasting far less energy compared to gas (50% efficient) or traditional solid plate electric hobs (55% efficient).
In real terms it means 1kW of energy used & paid for will transfer to the below wasted energy...and money.
Gas – 0.5kW
Solid Plate Electric – 0.45kW
Induction – 0.1kW
-
Speed
It heats pots and pans much faster than gas or radiant cooktops.
-
Precise control
Allows very fine adjustments to temperature, from a gentle simmer to rapid boiling.
-
Safety
The cooktop itself stays relatively cool (only the cookware gets hot), reducing burn risk. It also shuts off automatically when a pan is removed.
-
Easy cleaning
Since the surface doesn’t get very hot, spills don’t burn on and can be wiped away easily.
-
Consistent cooking
Provides steady, even heat without the fluctuations of gas flames.
-
Cooler kitchen environment
Less wasted heat keeps the kitchen cooler compared to gas cooking.
-
Modern features
Many induction cooktops come with timers, sensors, and smart controls.
-
Sustainability
By combining energy efficiency, a lack of direct emissions, and the ability to be powered by clean energy, induction cooking presents a much more sustainable and environmentally responsible option compared to traditional gas cooking.
-
Air quality
No combustion gases (like nitrogen dioxide or carbon monoxide) are released into your kitchen, unlike gas. Meaning less need for expensive extraction systems and interlocking gas controls.
Induction fryers
Digital induction fryer provides much precisely controlled temperature range within 2°C, unlike the analogue unit which normally has more than 10°C variance. Induction technology is not only quick, but also very efficient. This device uses energy with an efficiency factor of 90%. That’s 35% more efficient than conventional electric appliances.
