Kitchen stoves made a big way of evolution from the events of wood-burning foci to gas and electric hob surfaces. Mass use of electric stove is due to maximum ecological, safety of use. Modern kitchen foci does not emit smoke, soot, equipped with elements of protection, safety and automation, have an attractive design, easily cleaned.

The electric furnace market presents a wide selection of induction and electrical cooking panels. In fact, both types of plates are electric. Induction cooking panel differs from traditional electrical way Heating products. The usual electric stove uses a spiral or ribbon heating element, induction produces heat due to the electromagnetic processes and properties of the dishes itself for cooking. Both types of instruments have an attractive design, can be decorated in the form of a completely smooth ceramic, glass or glass-ceramic surface, resistant to pollution, the appearance of scratches. The cooking panel is easy to embed directly into the kitchen countertop or table.

Operating principle

The induction plate is based on its design, the high-frequency generator and induction coil contains. The generator operates at frequencies of about 20-60 kHz and is connected to an induction coil. High frequency currents create a powerful alternating magnetic field around the coil. When a magnetic conductor gets into an alternating magnetic field, the vortex currents (FUOCO), causing its heating, are supplied. In this case, a metal frying pan or a saucepan, installed on the plate of the plate.

The work surface of the plate does not heat up, since it is made of non-conducting a non-magnetic material. However, the temperature of the working surface during operation is still rising. This is due to contact with preheated kitchenware.

The utensils suitable for use with induction plates should contain, or be made of ferromagnetic material: stainless or enameled steel, cast iron. Glass, ceramics, aluminum and copper in pure form cannot be heated in this way. In order to ensure the possibility of using dishes from non-magnetic materials, in the bottom of the pan and the saucepan are embedded with a disc from ferromagnet.

The work of the induction plate is possible only if the dishes installed on the burner suitable type and dimensions. If the bottom area turns out to be too small or from the unsuitable material, the device will not turn on.

Due to the direct transmission of energy, the heating process occurs very quickly, irregularly, while the efficiency reaches 90%.

Traditional electric stove It works from the heating element of the resistive type. It consists of electric wire or ribbon spiral with high resistivity. Electric current, passing through a conductor with high resistance, causes its heating. Exhausted thermal energy Heats the dishes at the expense of direct infrared radiation and direct heat transfer at the place of contact of the dishes with the preheated working surface of the panel. That is, the spiral heats the surface of the plate, which, in turn, heats the dishes. Due to the presence of a heated surface, due to additional heat dissipation, efficiency coefficient ordinary tile It is about 70%.

Advantages and disadvantages

The main advantages of induction slabs are considered:

• high efficiency;
• low thermal inertia;
• lack of heating of the working surface;
• disconnecting the heating in the absence or removal of dishes from the stove;
• a smaller tendency to the formation of difficult pollution.

High energy efficiency, efficiency of about 90% and low thermal inertia is achieved due to the fact that the energy is consumed directly on the heating of the dishes, without spending on heating the working surface of the cooking panel. The decrease in thermal inertia means that heating and cooling begins immediately after turning on or off the plate. The low temperature of the working surface reduces the likelihood of the formation of difficult contaminants, burning.

The disadvantages are:

• the complexity of the device;
• dependence on the quality of the power supply;
• possible interference with the power supply;
• the need to apply special dishes.

Communication problems may arise in violations of the installation rules or when using products of dubious origin.

Traditional electric stoves are simpler devices. They are reliable and unpretentious to the quality of the supply network.

Advantages:

• work with dishes of any type;
• simplicity of design;
• low cost.

Disadvantages:

• high thermal inertia;
• high temperature of the work surface;
• The efficiency is lower than that of induction models.

What boiler to choose

The model range of both types includes embedded and separately standing models, with a built-in oven and without it. The number of burners and the design of cooking surfaces is as similar. The only advantage of traditional plates is lower cost, compared to induction.

By combustion qualities, induction stove has an advantage over traditional electric stove, due to high energy efficiency. Modern models Equipped with a set of functions that make it possible to simplify as much as possible and automate cooking processes. The restriction associated with the use of special dishes is insignificantly, as suitable utensils are available in a wide range. With a somewhat higher initial price, reduced electricity consumption quickly compensates for the cost difference with the traditional stove.

Pros and disadvantages of induction plates: video

A person seeks to surround his life of the best technique. Electric and induction warm panels Convenient and fit fit into the kitchen design. Which of them are better to perform functions than different, we will understand.

The nutrition of both types of heaters is carried out from the AC network, but the principle of action is different. Electrical burners can be on the surface and inside the stove. In this case, the helix, ribbons or halogen tubes warm the contact surface and transmit heat to the dishes.

The induction coil is part of the contour in which the electromagnetic field is guided. The second element becomes the bottom of the dishes with magnetic properties. The pair is valid only in close contact, forming vortex currents, heating the contents of the pan. The contact site does not heat up.

Other options depend on different principles:

• preparation rate of dishes;
• efficiency of the process;
• requirements for dishes and compatibility with other kitchen electrical appliances;
• safety.

What cooking panels are better, there is no unambiguous answer. The advantages and disadvantages have electrical and induction plates on the glass-ceramic surface.

Induction surfaces are much more expensive than electric, in view of a more complex heating circuit.

Advantages and disadvantages of cooking and electrical panels

We define the heating rate and the ability to control the process. Induction method faster. The boiling of the liter of water occurs in 2-3 minutes, the contact place is heated to 60 degrees. The current electric thermoelement will boil in 10 minutes, plus the time to warm the burner to 400 degrees.

The dishes for both types of plates are needed tightly adjacent, eliminated aluminum and copper for glass-ceramic surfaces. But for induction furnace We need potatoes with thick bottoms, cast iron, stainless steel or enameled, better, special. The contact surface must be greater than 12 cm in diameter.

Care of the glass-ceramic surface of the electric stove is more complicated. Cleaning with a special tool, means. The sweet product that fell on the hot surface is removed immediately. The frozen drop creates sinks in the surface. The dishes should have a dry bottom. The induction surface is heated slightly, the prigar does not happen, cleaning does not cause difficulties.

Compatibility with other devices is important. The induction furnace is not placed next to the microwave, washing or dishwasher. The refrigerator is not a place near any hot surfaces.

The price of the electrical cooking panel of glass ceramics is significantly lower than induction, but the efficiency of 90% reduces the cost of operation.

The choice of electrical or induction panel depends on many factors. If cooking speed, safety and lightweight cleaning are important for you, choose induction. Financial component in priority buy - electrical glass ceramics. It will be a stylish modern building.

And we have

Three of the most important elementwithout which it is impossible to imagine modern kitchenEven a schoolboy will be easily called - this is a refrigerator, sink and stove or cookbar. Let's talk about the latter. Various options Warp panels are represented today in stores in the wide range of assortment. First, they are joint - with wind wardrobes and independent - no oven. They can be standard - on 4 burners and compact or mobile - for two or even single-mounted variation. By the method of heating, all surfaces are divided into gas (with a burner), electrical (desktop model) and combined.

If a gas pipe is connected in the house - the gas or combined panel is most often installed, it is understandable - gas is much cheaper than electricity, and the surface itself will cost you cheaper. The standard combination surface includes usually 3 gas points and one electrical. Frankly, gas access points have a number of shortcomings.

• Fire hazard - open fire can lead to the smallest consequences;
• The problem with the rearrangement of the plate to another place, you will need agreement with gas services;
• Difficulty of repair - repair gas plates Only specialized gas services are entitled.

In view of this, electric cooking panels are becoming increasingly popular and good. They have in the dignity list great functionality and ease of use. If you choose on them, you should decide on the surface material: enamel coating, aluminum, stainless steel or glass-ceramic.

The first three coating options are inexpensive materials that have mostly low cost and a number of flaws. However, they can still be found in the kitchen in many homes.

The glass-ceramic is gaining increasing popularity in view of its beauty and universal style. It is easy enough to clean, but at the same time it will have to be always on the check. You can not use abrasive substances, as well as use the tough side of the sponge to eliminate scratches. The glass ceramics is the most expensive type of material for the cooking surface, however, sales of such a panel exceed the implementation of all other options. There are 2 main types of plates with glass ceramics: electrical and induction.

The difference between the induction cooking panel from the electrical: comparison

In essence, induction and electrical cooking panels are electrical. The induction stove is a more advanced model of the base electric stove, which has a number of features. So, induction plates, unlike electrical, have the following important differences.

Positive:

• The surface of the plate does not heat up, which is very important in the presence of children in the house, they will not be able to burn;
• Safety - If there is no special dishes on the stove - the stove will not turn on, it heats the dishes placed on it without heating itself;
• Accordingly, less electricity is consumed, saving on person;
• Very quick heating of food, many times faster than on a conventional electric stove - water boats for 2-3 minutes.

Negative differences of the induction plate from electrical: when working is heard a small fan noise located inside the panel, high price. You can not use with ordinary dishes - you need to purchase dishes (pans, frying pan) with a special magnetic coating at the bottom.

What is better: induction or electric cookbar

We looked at what important distinctive features two panels. The principle of operation of the electric stove is understood - the electric current interacts with heating elements located under a glass-ceramic coating and heats up the correspondingly standing dishes. Heating elements in this case use a spiral of a special metal. Management can be carried out both mechanically and using the sensor.

What is the secret of the induction hob? Her principle of operation is absolutely different from the work of basic electric stoves. It does not have heating elements in the form of metal plates, electromagnetic coils are used in such panels, which when the electricity is received, creates a magnetic field around itself.

If there will be dishes with a special magnetic bottom on the surface - it will warm very quickly.

On the usual dishes, such a heating system will not even pay attention. At the same time, during the rapid heating of the dishes - there will be no surface of the slab. In view of the fact that the plate begins to consume electricity only when the dishes standing and only on the size of the bottom of the dishes - and not for the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe cooking zone - the electricity savings are quite significant - consumption 1.5 times lower than that of the usual electric plate. At the same time, it is worth noting that the price of the induction surface significantly exceeds the bar that holds the electric stove. Therefore, if you do not plan to prepare a lot - savings from reducing electricity consumption is doubtful. Choose that better - induction or electric cooking surfaces, it is worth each owner independently, based on what it is necessary.

Induction or electric cooking panel: difference between them

Regardless of which of the surfaces under consideration above, you will choose - it is worth knowing that both of them most often have a glass-ceramic coating. Such a coating looks very stylish and beautiful, does not spoil the interior even in the kitchen-studio. But it is important to properly exploit such a surface.

It can not be cleaned by powder means - glass ceramics can scatter.

You need to be careful when operating - do not throw appliances, do not knock on it. With an electric stove, it is necessary to try to avoid burning food on the surface - as the laundering process is a rather time-consuming occupation. In this case, there are no such problems with induction plates, since the surface is always cold and any food or liquid falls on it easily wipped with a wet sponge.

Both plates have a large number of Programs: Protection against children (blocking buttons), heating adjustment, resizing the heating area in the case of an electric stove. The noise level during the operation of the induction plate is higher than when using the usual electrical. Rather, there is no noise at the electrical cooking surface at all. The induction is equipped with a fan, cooling plate and the sound of its operation is a bit heard.

Unique infrared cooking tile

Perhaps the third common view electric stoves Is infrared stove. Such plates are also equipped with a glass-ceramic surface. Heating occurs through electric currentHeating the beans, which in turn create infrared radiation.

Water, which is part of all products, absorbs this radiation and thereby highlights the heat from which the stove is heated.

Due to the good thermal conductivity, such a stove is quickly heated to the desired temperature. Cooking on such surfaces you can absolutely any food - from cheese to the boors. For this slab it is possible to use any dishes - with the exception of paper or plastic.

Criteria: What is the difference between the induction cooking surface from electrical (video)

In this article, we reviewed the basic variants of cooking surfaces, helped compare and choose. However, what exactly the model preferred is always for the buyer. Each of the models has a set of both the advantages and disadvantages.

Induction stove and induction Cookp panels are separate types of electric stoves. However, the peculiarities of the heating technology are distinguished by induction plates into a separate specific type of household appliances. In this article we will discuss why different induction stove differs from other electrical cooker cuisine.

Principle of operation of the induction plate

The task of cooking by the method of heating the dishes in which food is solved in the induction plate of a fundamentally different technology compared to others.

In pancake, rapid, halogen, ribbon heating elements, electric stoves, the dishes of heat transfer from the heating element of the dishes occur. This technology is very similar to cooking in a bowler on a fire.

In the induction plate, heat for cooking is not produced by a heating element, but the body of the dishes due to the interaction of the dishes with induction currents of the plates. The building of the dishes becomes a closed electrical outline and the interaction of this induction current circuit, produces heat on the housing.

What does it mean? This means that the use, say polymer dishes or any dishes, not conducting heating currents will not happen. In the network you can find a mass of rollers, with half a pan, where we see that everything is prepared on the midwife, and it does not occur on the induction panel of heating.

Work induction plate

Hence the first two differences in the induction plate:

1. The surface of the induction plate remains almost cold during cooking. It makes it safe for people and animals (burns are impossible) and safe for life (fires are impossible from non-accuracy). 2. For the induction plate need a "special" dishes. In fact, this dishes should not be so special. It is important that the material from which the dishes are made, possessed ferromagnetic properties. On the household level, it means that you can attach a magnet on the body of such a dishes, for example, a magnet from a refrigerator.

That is, if the magnet holds on the housing of the pan, pan, then such a dishes can be used for cooking on the induction plate.

By the way, do not rush to throw out dishes for simple plates, there are adapters for induction panels.

I said about the good, now about the minuses. If physics is not familiar to you, I will remind you, magnetic fields, namely they produce induction current in the ferromagnetic case of dishes, do not have an aimed effect, but apply like up and down.

3. This means, in theory that if under the cooking panel, let's put, say, a hammer or the same frying pan, then it will begin to warm up. In theory it is so. However, in practice, firstly, the "heated" elements of the induction plate with the design have a heat sink, which does not give magnetic fields to spread down the plates. Secondly, the induction fields of the plate, do not apply further 2-3 cm. By the way, the last nuance should be considered when lifting and lowering the dishes. At the time of lifting the stove will be disconnected. 4. But not everything is so rosy. Magnetic fields Induction slabs, especially economy class, can affect sensitive electrical appliances and communication cables. For example, on mobile phones or television antennas.

The spread of magnetic fields, led us to the fourth difference in the induction plate. The induction plate begins to consume energy, only when the dishes are on it. Hence some savings of electricity.

Installation of induction plate

Installing the induction plate is no different from the installation of any electric stove.

Installing an induction panel

When installing an embedded induction panel, you need to leave the space for ventilation, 2-3 cm wide. However, this rule works for all types.

What is the difference between induction stove from other electric stoves: conclusions

So, I highlight four main differences:

• Induction stove (panel) more economical;
• The surface of the induction panel is safe;
• The dishes for the induction plate must be ferromagnetic;
• The size of the dishes should be equal to or be larger than the diameter of the magnetic element of the panel. If you put the iron glass on the D28cm induction panel (mug), it will not be warm.
