Technology and innovation is a continuous process. There
is always something newer and better out there. But people have always been
hesitant about moving on to new things. They view new things with suspicion and
then they are a few nay-sayers who spread propaganda and everyone starts to
believe it. We have seen this hesitancy with things like vaccines, micro-wave
ovens, instant noodles and recently induction cooking and induction
stove cookware. Cooking is something that has been a part of humanity
for ages. Cooking is imbedded deeply in human nature and is even more so a huge
part of Indian culture. Cooking and food is a very important part of each and
every person’s life. Cooking our food has been a part of life ever since man
invented fire. The techniques of cooking haven’t changed much since then. Yes,
we did add utensils and other apparatuses like gas stoves but the basic idea of
cooking on fire still remained. After on flame cooking, there was the
introduction of oven cooking, where again fire was used to cook food in ovens. Later
on electric and gas ovens were introduced, which faced some resistance but was
welcomed by people eventually.
Later electric cooking was introduced which probably
started with electric teapots, et cetera. The electric cooking eventually led
to the introduction of induction and that is how induction cooking came into
being. People were very hesitant to accept induction cooking for various
reasons – but they fail to see the benefits of induction cooking. Below are a
few reasons on why you should move on to preparing your meals on induction
stove cookware.
Instant Adjustment – for new cooks as well as seasoned
cooks, induction cooking is a boon as it is equipped with instant and precision
heating. So far this sort of precision and instant adjustment was only
available with gas cooking according to professional cooks. Induction cooking takes
that precision a step further, you can adjust the heat to an extremely low heat
just for a light simmer, this is something that even gas cooking can’t offer.
No Wasted Heat – when you are using induction stove
cookware, you are ensured that no heat is wasted because energy is supplied
directly to the cooking vessel you are using. With gas or conventional electric
cookers (including halogen), the energy is first converted to heat and only
then directed to the cooking vessel. While in induction cooking almost all of
the energy is transferred to the vessel.
Safety – The stovetop of your induction cooking unit
ALWAYS stays cool. This means no burned fingers and no accidents. Induction
cooking offers you the assurance of safety that gas or electric cooking cannot.
Ease and Adaptability of Installation – other cooking
units like gas or electric require installation and lots of space. Whereas
induction cooking units are very thing vertically and require less space and
installation.
Ubiquity – gas stoves require gas pipelines or propane
tanks, etc. to function. These become additional installation which are bulky
or hazardous. Everyone has electricity… you won’t need anything additional when
you introduce induction cooking to your home.
Cleanliness – when using gas stoves, the burning gas
emits by-products that vaporize and settle on the surface of your kitchens. Induction
cooking eliminates these by-products and offers cleanliness.
