How to Cook on an Induction Stove

An induction stove transfers electrical energy by induction from a built-in coil of wire in the stove top into a cooking vessel. The vessel must be electrically conductive, made of a ferrous material such as iron. The induction coil is usually red. The cooking pot must be placed directly on the coil. The stovetop itself does not create heat, staying cool to the touch. When cookware is removed from the heating element, the coil is de-energized and turns off automatically.

Things You'll Need

  • Cooking vessel of ferrous material, with flat bottom
  • Oven mitt (if pot does not have insulated handle)
  • Long spoon or spatula
  • Cooking medium such as oil or water
  • Food to be cooked

Instructions

  1. Choose a cooking vessel of cast iron or stainless steel and place the cooking vessel on the induction coil on a stovetop. Set the heat level according to need.

  2. Add oil or water, depending on what you're preparing.

  3. Add the food to the pot or pan. Use a spoon or spatula to stir your food. The pot must be in constant contact with the induction coil to continue cooking. The heat setting can be adjusted with almost immediate results.

  4. Remove the pot from the coil when the food is ready. The stove shuts off almost instantly when connection with the coil is broken. The food will continue to simmer briefly from the heat in the pot and the food itself.
