With the development of science and technology, induction cooker, as a new type of cooking appliance, has been gradually accepted by people. The heating method of induction cooker is different from that of traditional gas cooker, which adopts the principle of electromagnetic induction to convert electrical energy into heat energy so as to heat the bottom of the pot. So how to choose the right induction cooker for you? The first thing you need to know is the maximum power of the induction cooker.

What is the maximum power of induction cooker?

The maximum power of induction cooker is the maximum power consumed by induction cooker when heating. Generally speaking, the higher the maximum power of an induction cooktop, the faster it will heat up, but it will also consume more electricity. Therefore, when choosing an induction cooker, you need to choose the maximum power that suits you according to your actual needs.

How to choose the suitable maximum power for your induction cooktop?

1. Choose the power according to the family size

The more the family size, the more food you need to cook, so you need to choose the induction cooker with higher power. Generally speaking, family size in the case of 2-3 people, choose the power between 1200W-1800W induction cooker can be; family size in the case of 4-6 people, choose the power between 1800W-2200W induction cooker is more appropriate.

2. Choose the power according to your cooking needs

If you often need to cook a large amount of food, then choose a higher power induction cooker can finish cooking faster. If you only need to cook some simple food once in a while, then choose a smaller power induction cooker.

3. Choose the power according to your electricity consumption

If your electricity consumption is relatively stable, you can choose a higher power induction cooker. But if your electricity consumption is more unstable, then choose a smaller power induction cooker can better save electricity.

How to use induction cooktop correctly?

1. Choose the right pots and pans

Induction cooktops can only use magnetic pots and pans, otherwise they can not be heated. Generally speaking, pots and pans made of stainless steel, cast iron and aluminum alloy can be used on induction cooktops.

2. Place pots and pans correctly

Place the pots and pans in the heating area of the induction cooker, and the bottom of the pots and pans are completely close to the heating area, so that they can conduct heat better, and the heating effect is better.

3. Control the heating time

Induction cooktops heat up very quickly, and in general, the heating time is shorter than that of traditional gas cooktops. Therefore, when using an induction cooker, you need to control the heating time so that the food is not overcooked or scorched.
