If you've been paying attention to the latest trends in home cooking, you've probably heard about induction cooktops and how much more efficient it is than gas or electric cooktops. You're also probably wondering exactly how to use an induction cooktop and how it differs from cooking on other stoves. Fortunately, it's very easy to learn how to use an induction cooktop, but there are still some things you should know before you start cooking.
First of all, you need the right kind of cookware. Just about anything made from stainless steel, cast iron, or carbon steel will work great on a Bosch induction cooktop. Next, you will want to familiarize yourself with all the features of your new cooktop. For example, Bosch induction cooktops come with a feature called Flexinduction which combines two cooking zones into one larger zone. This is perfect if you have larger batches of vegetables that might not fit on a single burner on an electric or gas range.
Finally, remember that the cooking time on an induction cooktop will be much shorter than with other cooktops. With induction cooking, the pot or pan is being heated instead of the cooktop itself, which will make boiling water, sautéing vegetables, and general stovetop cooking much more efficient.
