Upgrade your kitchen – Induction Cookware Set

Humans are incredible and constantly evolving. Evolution is a part of our life. And it has been so from much before man discovered that he could make fire. Before fire, humans ate their foods raw. Fire opened up many possibilities of a variety of cooking styles. In all possibility, humans ate a lot of other things that they never used to before they learnt how to make fire. Taming fire in many ways was a more important accomplishment than the invention of the wheel. After all the wheel created industry, but fire created food. And humans sure do love to eat. It must have been incredible sitting around the campfires with the Homo erectus swapping hunting stories as we roasted the days catch over the open flames. Have you ever wondered, at what point they decided to try other forms of cooking rather than just roasting their food – boiling, braising, and frying. When did they decide to use herbs, oils? All these are very fascinating questions especially when you consider how far we have come from those early campfires where meals were cooked over an open flame, skewered onto a stick.

Today, we use kerosene stoves, LPG stoves, electronic baking units, microwave ovens and very recently induction cooking.  What is Induction cooking you ask? It is the dawn of new age cooking! In simple words, induction cooking uses the transfer of magnetic energy, rather than a flame or electric component to create a quick, efficient way of cooking. Water boils much more quickly, temperature is controlled easily, while pots stay mostly cool when cooking. This revolutionary way to cook is becoming more and more popular in many home kitchens. Induction cooking is considered safe, convenient and easy to use by people who have switched over to induction cooking. Induction cooking also conserves energy. It uses 90% of the energy produced compared to only 55% for a gas burner and 65% for traditional electric ranges. It also causes less pollution when compared to kerosene stove cooking. Cooking in induction is also faster that cooking the traditional way as induction heat is more powerful which means it heats hotter and faster than electric or gas stoves. As there is no open flame, induction cooking is safer. It is also convenient to clean and store. And takes up lesser space and installation than electric or gas ranges.

To convert your kitchen to induction cooking, you will require induction cookware sets for best results in terms of usage of the unit as well as preparing food. It is important to know that not all pieces of cookware can be used for induction cooking. Induction cookware sets are magnetic and have flat bottoms. Induction cookware sets are made of a magnetic-based material, such as cast iron or magnetic stainless steel. If you are not sure about your cookware, try sticking a magnet to the bottom of the pan to find out if it can be used for induction cooking.

It’s time to discover this revolutionary method of cooking. So have you got your induction cookware set yet and joined the cooking revolution?
