Why induction and what are the benefits?


The energy savings from commercial induction cooking compared to traditional gas or electric cooking methods can be significant. Here are some key points highlighting the energy efficiency benefits of induction cooking:


Direct Heat Transfer


Induction cooking heats the cooking vessel directly through electromagnetic induction, making it more efficient than gas or electric stovetops, which generate heat externally before transferring it to the cookware. This direct heat transfer results in less wasted energy.


Reduced Heat Loss


With induction cooking, heat is generated only in the cookware itself, not on the cooktop surface. This minimises heat loss into the kitchen environment, keeping the cooking area cooler and more comfortable while also conserving energy.


Faster Cooking Times


Induction cooktops heat up quickly and provide precise temperature control, resulting in faster cooking times. This means less time with the appliance on, further contributing to energy savings.


Instantaneous Heat Control


Induction cooktops respond instantly to adjustments in temperature settings. Chefs can quickly reduce heat or turn off zones when not in use, preventing unnecessary energy consumption.


No Preheat Time


Unlike gas or electric ranges that require preheating, induction cooktops start heating the cookware immediately upon activation. This eliminates the need for idle preheating time, saving both time and energy.


Efficient Heat Distribution:


Induction cooking distributes heat evenly across the entire base of the cookware, minimising hot spots and ensuring uniform cooking. This efficiency reduces the overall energy required to cook food thoroughly.


Lower Total Energy Consumption:


Studies have shown that induction cooktops can be up to 90% efficient, compared to around 40-55% efficiency for gas and electric cooktops. This higher efficiency directly translates into lower energy consumption and cost savings over time.
