Those shopping for the interesting appliance called an induction cooktop must be very excited. Not only do induction cooktops have impressive benefits and features, they also have incredible time and power savings. These cooktops are used commercially all around the world and are making appearances in private homes as well. But if you are new to all of this, then get ready to learn because it is a whole new area apart from what you are used to. The good news is it's a fun type of learning. Here are some things you should know before you start shopping for induction cooktops.
There are many features to know with induction cooktops, and one such feature is generally called the sensors that come with the unit. Look for a model that has a sensor that automatically detects whether there is a pan on the unit. This sensor helps protect you and your unit. Your cooktop will only turn on if there is a pan on the unit if you have this sensor. This safety measure is an important one to have whether you use the cooktop in your home or business. Removing the pan from the unit will turn it off which is a great energy saver. The cooktop you choose will vary depending on your specific circumstances. If you are looking for a cooktop to fit into an already existing space, your selection will be limited. If you're building a new home or remodeling your kitchen, the matter is completely different. Those in the latter situation will have more choices and options when choosing their induction cooktop. It's important to consider the electrical rating of the wiring that will provide your cooktop with power. The rated power feed will decide the unit you can get. Space is not the only consideration.
You will need to consult with a qualified electrician or appliance profession regarding power and electrical wiring. You want wiring that is safe for 50 amps of current as a basic guideline, however. If you're wiring can safely handle 60 amps, that will obviously be better. The cooking capacity of your chosen cooktop is going to be the biggest factor there. Your unit won't be able to up to its full potential if you overbuy. Plus you do not want to be constantly popping circuit breakers or blowing fuses.
