Of course we DO need forums and such to hear from ppl who actually used them - not just the word from the seller. Thanx all the same, thanx for letting me know that there is something called Induction Cooking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ssr 10 Report post Posted November 15, 2006 (edited) In bangalore M.K. Retail It costs around 2K (I forgot brand) I hv already went through many sites to know about Induction cooker. as told by rEdshiFt wikipedia has good explanation about it and howit works I think advatage of this is quick heating of vessels and efficient energy utilisation, most interestingly It is not having any heating meterial on its surface and if the vessel is removed it can automatically switches of But problem is it works only with Iron or Steel vessels So I wonder whether all the vessels needed for reqular usage comes with above materials?

kshah 452 Report post Posted July 21, 2008 Induction heating is based on induction (Some thing like transformer) It is claimed to be eco freindly but in reality it is not as it consumes more power (effectively even more carbon emission) than conventional cookers or stoves. Induction stove efficiency greatly reduced when you use no flat bottom cook wares (Indian utensils are usually not flat). Also It alter taste of food.

kshah 452 Report post Posted July 21, 2008 CNG / PNG or Natural gas, is perhaps most eco friendly in temrs of carbon emission & cost. SInce electricity is produced in big plants, they are more carbon efficient than smaller boilers and units. But it is produced using coal, so it emits more NOx, SOx and Cox. It also emits more SPM and has ash which too is eco de grading. LPG is second best and second cheapest option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But it is not a good model. I got 3 times complaint on this model in 5 months of period. Some times when we turn on the induction cooker, it makes beep sound and turn off immediately. It doesn’t generate the heat after then never. I feel its quality is very poor or worst. Few of my friends are using some other model induction cookers since more than one year and which they have purchased from some other dealers. They do not have any issues like this. They are happy with their product. And to get the replacement with them is also not easy. We have to wait for long........... Because those guys seems busy with their business. I suggest, do not buy any such low range or local induction cookers never. Because that will become a very big head ache after then if anyone find quality Induction cookers any where in Bangalore (Not from M.K). Please let me know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
petar 15 Report post Posted April 13, 2009 I have NOVA induction cooker (imported) for 1200 bucks. (1800 watts) It works good. the beep sound is either because vessal is non compatible for induction or it has sanwhich bottom cookware which has a metal mixed in it & henace not suitable for induction cooking. U need metals that can be magnetized. iron, steel etc. It saves energy, you can touch the vessal when it is being heated... works like charm. Good luck.

Can you give some more details about it like brand, cost, how it works etc.. and is it really a substitute for gas cooking? You can find the details in wikipedia. It works on the principle of induction heating. Heating is done by Eddy current and magnetic hysterisis Loss. There are lot of varities in market. Most of them is made in china. One thing you need to be careful is the copper coil that is used in the cooker. It should be pure cooper and should have a weight of atleast 300gm. Also make sure it has ceramic plate and not glass plate. Wattage is important. 1800w or 2000w is good. I deal in induction cooker which is made in Taiwan. The copper coil weight is 340gm. It comes with 2 years warranty. And is priced reasonably. You can contact me on 9611264700 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nitinmukesh123 11 Report post Posted May 25, 2009 I have induction stove and used it for 1 year. Its very good but the problem is you can't use to cook everything like roti's.
