In the kitchen appliance market, electric stove and induction cooker are two very popular cooking equipment. However, both products have their own advantages and disadvantages, so it is worth considering which equipment is best suited to our cooking needs and preferences, it is important to know the difference between an electric stove and an induction stove.

Principle difference

The electric pottery furnace is heated by the internal resistance wire, which mainly uses the current flow through the resistance wire to generate heat to heat food, heating is more uniform, there is no local overheating, but the heating speed is slow, less efficient.

The induction cooker is heated by electromagnetic waves, mainly using the alternating magnetic field to generate heat, and then heating food, so the heating speed of the induction cooker is relatively fast, but the local heating effect is stronger, need us to move the pot and so on.

Pot requirements

The induction cooker can only use iron boiler and stainless steel boiler, but the electric pottery stove does not pick up the boiler, because the boiler through the electric pottery stove transfer heat, can be low-power continuous heating, low fire heat can maintain boiling, and will not quickly evaporate consumption soup base, any pot can be used.

Product features

Induction Cooker has more functions and advantages, not only can quickly heat food, but also can stir fry, Fry, stew and other cooking methods. In addition, the induction cooker also has the adjustment of fire and temperature control functions, more user-friendly cooking operations.

The function of electric pottery stove is relatively less, mainly for continuous heating and heat preservation of food, some high-end electric pottery stove may also have multiple fire adjustment function. But overall, the function of electric pottery furnace is relatively simple.

Power consumption

Compared with induction cooker, electric pottery stove energy consumption is higher. This is because the electric ceramic furnace heat loss larger, from the wire heating to the transfer to the bottom of the process, most of the heat is wasted, its heat conversion rate of only about 60% .

In contrast, induction cooker in the general price can achieve more than 85% of the heat conversion rate, so for those who are sensitive to the use of electricity, induction cooker may be more appropriate.

The price

From the market average selling price and mainstream product prices, the price of electric stove is generally higher than induction cooker.

To sum up, for a normal family, the induction cooker is obviously a better choice, and when choosing the induction cooker, need to consider the power size, heating mode, safety performance, material, brand reputation, price and additional functions, according to their own actual needs and budget to consider, in order to better choose their own induction cooker.
