LPG Crisis? Follow These 7 Tips To Use An Induction Cooker Safely

(MENAFN- AsiaNet News) Everyone is scrambling for cooking gas cylinders these days. When the gas runs out, the induction cooker becomes our go-to appliance. The best part? It never runs out of fuel like a gas cylinder does.With everyone facing a cooking gas crunch, the induction cooker is a lifesaver. The biggest relief is that, unlike an LPG cylinder, it will never just run out of fuel in the middle of cooking.An induction cooktop automatically switches off after a set time, so you don’t need to monitor it like a gas stove. It’s a very convenient option, even if it adds a bit to the electricity bill with regular use.Induction cooktops are different from regular gas stoves. In fact, you can now find them for cheaper than many glass-top gas stoves. Plus, if you have solar panels at home, your cooking costs can become almost zero!Here’s an important tip: Always use pans with a base that is not smaller than the circle marked on the cooktop’s surface. This ensures proper heating and efficiency.For efficient cooking, use only the amount of water you actually need. Once the water starts boiling, you can lower the power setting on the induction cooker to save electricity.Always place your pan on the cooktop before switching it on. Similarly, switch the cooker off before you remove the pan. Also, make sure to use only flat-bottomed cookware for best results.Since it has a single flat panel, cleaning an induction cooktop is very easy. You can use regular dish soap, a paste of baking soda, vinegar, or a special cleaner made for ceramic surfaces.Remember the golden rule: First, you place the cooking pot on the surface, and only then do you turn the induction cooker on. When you’re done, switch it off before lifting the pot.A great safety feature is that the induction cooktop will only turn on when it detects a compatible pan on its surface. You can also set a timer for your cooking, which is super helpful.
