3 - THE PERFORMANCES

3.1. - Compared efficiencies

The efficiency is the ratio that exists between

consumed energy (gas or electricity) and energy

converted into heat. Large differences exist between

induction, range-top appliance, and other cooking

modes. These efficiencies may vary depending on

the diameter and quality of the container used.

3.2. - Exceptional high speed

Thanks to the available power and high efficiency, this hob is much more rapid than an electrical or gas

hob. Time necessary to increase the temperature of two litres of water from 20°C to 95°C:

3.3. - Savings

Removing the container from a source is sufficient to stop the cooking immediately, there is no energy

waste. As long as there is no container on a source, the source does not heat, the power indicator

lights are flashing. This hob consumes thus much less energy than hobs fitted with traditional gas or

electricity hobs.

3.4. - Information

Very flexible to use, it reacts instantaneously to controls. The power available on a source can vary

from 50 to 2800 W (and more in certain cases!)

3.5. - Safety

The induction principle makes that heat is produced directly in the container. The temperature of the

glass top is much lower and risk of burn is reduced, especially for children. Return to 60°C after

boiling of one litre of water:
