To save the LPG subsidy budget, as well as to improve national energy security, PLN (State Electricity Company) Indonesia launched the One Million LPG Stove Conversion Movement to Induction Stove, starting in October 2020.
This movement has been running for more than a year, but some people still feel unfamiliar about induction stoves, about how they work and how to use them, as well as the benefits of switching from gas stoves to induction stoves.
Electric induction stoves are very different from electric stoves, even though they both use electricity as a source of energy.
The way an electric stove works uses an element as a heat source, so that we can feel the heat if it touches the heater element. Electric stoves are still considered dangerous for us, and are not friendly from the reach of children.
How the induction cooker works is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. Induction stoves are more prone to damage because the surface of the induction cooker uses a layer of glass, so it is prone to breaking if not used carefully. The performance of the induction cooker will be reduced if the glass layer is damaged or scratched if the glass surface is damaged or scratched. Induction hobs heat cookware directly so that the desired temperature can be reached quickly. The power source for this induction heater is a 220 volt AC power line.
The principle of operation of the induction device The principle of operation of the induction cooker is based on the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction discovered at the beginning of the 19th century.
An induction stove is a type of stove that uses an induction system to deliver heat to the cooking utensils and the food on it. An induction stove uses alternating electric current flowing through a wire inside the stove body. This current produces a magnetic field and current that can heat the cookware above it.
If simplified, induction cookers work by heating cookware directly through magnetic induction. So, the surface of the stove is not heated, so it remains safe to touch.
With a fairly modern shape and way of working, this stove is also recommended for safety and cleanliness. Because the induction cooker will not experience gas leaks that cause fires, and dirty due to combustion that usually occurs on LPG gas stoves. In addition, the appearance of the induction cooker is more visible. interesting to decorate your kitchen.
The heat generated by the induction cooker can be received by cooking utensils up to 90% evenly with its flat shape. So that this stove is very effective, efficient, and more economical.
The induction cooker is equipped with several modern features that make it easy to use, making it suitable for even those who are just learning to cook.
The following are modern features that can pamper the owner:
• Child lock, functions as a key lock during the cooking process, so it cannot be changed by others.
• Timer, as an automatic regulator to turn off the stove according to a predetermined time when it will be left.
• Security sensor, works to turn off the stove if there is a cooking utensil that is too small accidentally on the surface of the stove so that the tool remains safe and not hot.
Cooking mode, the right choice of heat to suit different types of cooking.***
