5 reasons to buy a portable induction cooktop
With energy prices through the roof, you are probably also wondering how to make everyday actions more efficient and how to use household appliances more consciously.Maybe you are one of those who regret choosing a gas stove for your kitchen instead of an induction cooktop, which would allow you to save on the expensive gas consumption. If so, don't despair: it's not too late to get yourself a portable induction hob!
There are several good reasons to buy one, but to understand them it is essential to first understand how the induction plate works. Instead of using gas power like traditional stoves, the plate uses electric current. Once the stove is activated and a pot made of ferrous material (enameled iron, cast iron or steel) is placed on it, the current passes through the coil and generates a magnetic field transferring energy to the pot. Therefore, it is not the surface of the plate that heats up, except indirectly, but the pot. This operation is at the base of the energy efficiency of an induction cooker, the main reason why it is preferable to a gas one. Let's see together the 5 good reasons to buy a portable one.
#1You can save without changing the stove
The induction hob is the most efficient electric cooking system among all household appliances on the market and allows you to save on energy consumption compared to gas cooking, especially now that the price of gas has skyrocketed due to the international situation. If you choose a portable induction hob with advanced functions like with the latest Girmi model you can start saving immediately, without the need to disassemble your gas stove. Moreover, if necessary, you will have one or two extra burners available when you have to cook for many people.
The main reason for the efficiency of induction is that there is no heat dispersion because all the energy is transferred directly to the pot. This results in a cooking speed that beats every record,with practically halved times and, consequently, higher efficiency. Reduced cooking times + no heat dispersion = lower bills. Here is the equation for sustainable cooking! If you have a renewable energy system like solar panels, induction cooking allows you to not spend anything despite the energy crisis.
#2 The induction cooktop is safer
Once you have tried your portable induction hob you will not want to go back to gas, thanks to its convenience and safety. The induction hob, in fact, is not only very convenient to use because it reaches temperature in a few moments, but also very safe. This is due to the absence of flames and the fact that the plate around the surface covered by the pot does not overheat, reducing the risk of burns. Several models, including the new Girmi PI04 induction hob, are also equipped with safety shutdown mechanisms not only in the absence of a pot, but also when the pot is empty or not suitable for induction cooking, as well as an anti-overheating system.
#3 Perfect power regulation in the induction cooktop
The latest generation portable induction cooktops like the PI0400 Girmi model and the two-burner model PI51 have a digital display that allows you to adjust the power output of the burners and therefore the cooking temperature with maximum precision, as well as allowing the setting of automatic cooking programsthat practically reduce the risk of error to zero, also because induction cooking distributes heat evenly. Once you have become familiar with this revolutionary cooking system, you will find it much simpler and more practical than gas cooking.
#4 The induction hob is easily cleaned in an instant.
You can forget about the hassle of disassembling cast iron grates and burners to polish your gas stove because with the induction cooktop cleaning becomes much simpler: just one pass and you're done. Goodbye also to specific detergents or DIY solutions with vinegar and baking soda to make the hob shine and streak-free. A damp microfiber cloth will be more thanenough to polish the glass surface of the induction hob.
#5 With the portable plate, you can cook wherever you want
The versatility of a small portable induction cooker like the PI0400 Girmi to a hotplate is unmatched: you can use it at home in addition to or in place of your gas stove or take it to the garden, terrace, on vacation, in a camper or while camping.Just make sure there is electricity and the job is done. Thanks to its small size and minimal design, it fits perfectly in any setting. It is also the ideal solution for a holiday home or small hotels and bed & breakfasts. Imagine the convenience of having a complete multifunctional appliance available whenever and wherever you want!
