There are differences between electric ceramic stoves and induction cookers in terms of heating methods, compatibility with pots and pans, ease of operation, heat preservation performance, fashion appearance, heating speed, power consumption, vulnerability, cleaning and maintenance needs, and other aspects.
1.Heating method.
The electric ceramic stove uses an electric heating wire heating method, which heats the ceramic plate through the heating wire, and then the heat is transferred to the cooking appliance by the ceramic plate, so that the bottom of the pot is heated to heat the food. The electric ceramic stove can provide relatively uniform heating, and the food is cooked evenly. An induction cooker, on the other hand, uses an electric current to generate a magnetic field, which reacts with the pot and directly heats the food in the pot.
2.Compatibility with pots and pans.
Electric ceramic stoves can be used for a wider variety of cooking utensils, whether metal, glass or ceramic. The induction cooker has requirements for pots, and not all pots and pans are suitable.
3.Ease of operation.
The operating interface of an electric ceramic furnace is usually very intuitive and easy to understand and use. Since only the bottom of the induction cooker is heated, the surface of the pot will not heat up, and the safety is high.
4.Thermal insulation performance.
Since the electric ceramic oven uses a direct heating method, it can still maintain a certain temperature even after the power is off, which is suitable for dishes that need to be slow-cooked.
5.Stylish appearance.
The surfaces of ceramic stoves are usually designed to be modern and can be adapted to a variety of kitchen decoration styles.
6.Heating speed.
Induction cookers have higher heating efficiency, faster than electric ceramic stoves, high energy efficiency, and relatively energy saving.
7.Power consumption.
Due to the problem of heating efficiency, the electric ceramic stove usually consumes a large amount of electricity during use.
8.Vulnerability.
The ceramic plate of the electric ceramic furnace is easy to break under severe temperature changes or heavy blows.
9.Cleaning and maintenance needs.
Food debris spilled during cooking in an electric ceramic stove can burn on the stovetop and needs to be cleaned regularly to keep it in optimal working order.
The ** of an electric ceramic stove is usually slightly higher than that of an induction cooker.
To sum up, there are advantages and disadvantages to both electric and induction stoves, and which stove to choose depends on the individual's needs and preferences. Electric ceramic cookers are suitable for users who require high pot compatibility, need slow cooking or prefer barbecue, while induction cookers are suitable for users who are looking for high efficiency, power saving and low cost.
