About
An induction-cooker element (what on a gas stove would be called a "burner") is a powerful, high-frequency electromagnet, with the electromagnetism generated by sophisticated electronics in the "element" under the unit's ceramic surface. When a good-sized piece of magnetic material--such as, for example, a cast-iron skillet--is placed in the magnetic field that the element is generating, the field transfers ("induces") energy into that metal. That transferred energy causes the metal--the cooking vessel--to become hot. By controlling the strength of the electromagnetic field, we can control the amount of heat being generated in the cooking vessel--and we can change that amount instantaneously.

basic cooking is not easy. I tried to learn from some online courses but it takes a little ingenuity. But who wants to follow the link of the courses I took.

Induction cooking is incredibly easy! It offers instant heat, instant adjustment and instant switch-off.... what is not easy about that! We will never go back to ordinary electric cooking and have seen that induction gives us the same versatility as gas but with a much more cleanable (and usable) cooking surface.
