Cooking with Magnets

Sep-11-09 Inductions burners use a magnetic field instead of a flame or radiant heat like electric stoves. The magnetic field creates heat using the properties in Joule's first law: current passing through conductive material generates heat.

Induction is super-efficient, converting about 85% of energy into head, compared to 70% for electric burners and 40% for gas, thus saving you money.

The burner itself doesn't create heat - so it stays cool to the touch and doesn't throw off ambient heat.

Because the units are portable, you can take them outside to cook a smelly dish. Or put one on your buffet to keep a chaffing dish warm.

The only catch: your pots and pans have to be magnetic.
