The induction cooker is still a relatively rare guest in kitchens. The main reason is that people do not fully understand its working principle and to what extent the given device is functional. Myths about the supposedly harmful radiation are still widespread, while some buyers are scared off by the price. Let's find out why an induction cooker should still be worth buying.


An induction cooker is an inverter device intended for cooking food. The principle of operation is based on the operation of a copper induction coil conducting electric currents. The ring of the stove heats up much faster under the influence of an electric magnetic field of up to 100 kHz. The emitted radiation has no effect on organisms. Even at a distance of 30 cm from the panel, the effect remains minimal.

The technical characteristics of the devices can be reflected in the form of the following list:


The DDK of the equipment is approximately 80-90%. Portable devices have a low efficiency (around 50-60%).

The surface temperature is not higher than 60 degrees. The source of heating is hot dishes.

The current frequency in the coils is about 30-60 kHz.

Control - there are models with sensor, mechanical or combined system control. The last variant is additionally equipped with the Booster mode – automatic power switching to one cooking zone.

Council for selection

Pay attention to the presence of additional functions - the technical design of the stove must be equipped with an auto-disconnect function to prevent possible fires, with a system lock, a timer, etc. Sensor-type models are controlled very simply and almost do not require constant control from the outside.

Buy the model that has the most optimal power value for one cooking ring - about 2 kW.

Never buy a stove that is too big and it will be difficult to find a place in the kitchen. Better to buy something smaller but powerful.

Tabletop stoves are the most stable and safest.
