Induction cooking - technology of the future

Future of cooking: AEG has been one of the pioneers of induction cooking, promoting its safety, efficiency, clean-ability and control

AEG has been one of the pioneers of induction cooking, promoting its safety, efficiency, clean-ability and control.

Induction cooking is the future of professional and home kitchens and AEG Electrolux models will be used by celebrity chefs at The Food Show.

Induction hobs cook food safely, speedily and heat evenly, while being very easy to clean. It is a perfect combination of the speed of a gas with the operating comfort, easy cleaning and safety of a ceramic hob.

 Professional chefs praise the system not only for its futuristic technology and for being environmentally friendly, but also for being a smart technology.

Placing a saucepan on the induction cooker makes the hob heat up instantly. Removing it makes it cool down immediately, thus saving energy and making it almost impossible to burn oneself.  Since the cooker itself does not heat up, but is heated up by the hot saucepan, food that is no longer covered by water or that has run out of water while cooking will not burn. And of course, that means that no food will have to be painstakingly scraped off the saucepans afterwards.

AEG, (distributed in NZ by Electrolux) has been is a pioneer in the field of induction cooking and the market leader in Europe with over 50 per cent of the market share, has further optimised this technology.

AEG Electrolux is introducing an entirely new and innovative generation of induction cooktops. The induction hobs will be fitted with a "power function'' switch, which will instantly provide additional power when activated. A litre of water will only take two minutes to boil.

The induction cookers can be regulated with a single switch and have a "Stop and Go'' function that reduces the heat of the hob to a "keep warm'' level when needed. Furthermore, a light tap is all that is needed to fully restore the original heat level.

AEG products have been available in New Zealand for many years and have been distributed by   Electrolux Home Products since January.  For more information on AEG or your local retailer contact Electrolux on 09 573 2220.
