Pros and Cons of Induction Stoves

• Energy efficient with multiple cooking modes and
  feather/soft touch controls induction stoves from
  VGuard Industries.
• Traditional cooking stoves use electrical coils
  or gas to transfer the heat to the cooking
  product. After evaluation of the disadvantages it
  has, innovations were introduced and induction
  heating became the new technology for providing
  the heat in the cooking process. The cooking
  vessel is made up of stainless steel or iron and
  is very thin in design allowing ease of
  installation and occupying very less space. The
  design looks tremendously stylish with the glass
  surface induction top. Induction stoves directly
  use the heating to heat the cooking vessel. There
  are both advantages and disadvantages of using
  such stoves for cooking and some are mentioned
  below

• Faster cooking
• The heat energy is directly transferred to the
  cooking pan and thus the food is prepared much
  quicker than the traditional cooking stove. The
  electric induction is so fast that preparation
  time decreases significantly which is a true
  advantage for business-oriented people. In the
  foodservice industry time is crucial and thus
  helps a lot in saving time and retaining profits.

• Cooler environment
• The traditional stoves produce a lot of heat in
  order to raise he temperature of the metal pan
  and cook food, most of which is wasted in the
  environment. Less is contributed to the cooking
  pan and more of the flames are just a waste which
  heats up the environment.

Induction stoves avoids such waste and thus
leading to a much cooler environment. Also, the
stove stop remains cool too as no flames are
igniting on the stove which allows the chef to
hold them without the danger of burning him/her
self. Only the bottom of the pan directly under
the cooking vessel is very hot. Also, fire
suppression equipments are also not needed in
case of any emergencies.

• Cheaper
• When it comes to the efficiency factor,
  induction stoves has been proved as a more energy
  efficient stove than the traditional ones. The
  electrical induction provides heat only to the
  pan itself and the energy reaches to its
  destination without wasting any of it in the
  unneeded environment. This saves significant
  amount of money that would have been rather gone
  in vain if traditional stove would have been
  used. So every penny spent on the induction stove
  is worth it. Moreover, as soon as the cooking pot
  is removed from the cooking vessel, the cook top
  instantly changes into the standby mode which
  requires no energy.

• Hazards
• The electrical induction stoves emit similar
  radiation such of microwaves and cell phones
  which can hamper ones health. The risk is
  obviously not too high because people also use
  cell phones frequently but still it somewhere
  lies as a risk to health. However, people with
  electrical devices inside their body such as a
  pacemaker should be very careful as the magnetic
  fields might disrupt the activities of the
  device.

7

• Creation of noise
• People love cooking and it pleases them to cook
  silently. The magnetic fields created by the
  electrical equipment of the stove have to be
  monitored and the equipment especially, should be
  monitored and stopped from overheating. This
  requires the use of a fan inside the stove which
  creates continuous noise while the cooking is
  being done.

8

• Power outages
• The induction stove carries out the process of
  cooking through the use of electricity and if
  there are any electricity outages, the induction
  stove will not be able to work. This might create
  a huge problem for those who experience such
  problems frequently. A backup generator would
  solve the issue but then that would cost higher
  than overall budget of traditional stoves.
