Popular manufacturing brands

The assortment includes dozens of different models from leading manufacturers.

The equipment is presented in the “Standard” and “Vip” classes . The cost varies from 15,000 to 100,000 rubles.

Due to such a big difference, it is worth deciding on the parameters that the panel should have and choosing a manufacturer that is relevant in 2021.

The most common equipment from the following brands:

Whirlpool is an American company that produces premium appliances. Hobs are stylish, simple and safe to use. The line includes standard models with a width of 60 cm and narrow models with a width of 50 cm. The devices have several heating levels and high-quality coating.
Indesit is an Italian brand that has won the trust of users. Induction panels are distinguished by high quality materials. Some models are equipped with a timer and other additional options.
Zigmund & Shtain is a well-known German company that produces panels with different numbers of burners. Almost all models are equipped with automatic recognition of dishes. The temperature is adjusted automatically depending on the type of cookware.
Asco is a Scandinavian manufacturer that produces VIP class equipment. The panels are made of glass ceramics, easy to clean and resistant to mechanical damage. Thanks to touch controls, the device is easy to use. The heating zone is activated after the cookware is installed.
Forneli is an Italian brand offering high-quality equipment. The models are equipped with residual heat indicators and protection against accidental activation, which ensures maximum safety during use.
Hotpoin-Ariston is a well-known company that has earned the trust of users. The brand's line includes panels with a simple design, touch controls and a comprehensive security system.

Device and principle of operation

An induction cooker is a portable mobile panel, which, both in terms of its operational characteristics and operating principle, is very different from full-sized analogues.

The surface of the plate is made of glass ceramics. There is no heating element underneath, but there are electromagnetic coils responsible for creating a magnetic field. They, in turn, provoke the occurrence of induced currents.

The power lines change, currents are formed that pass through the dishes and heat the food. This is the main feature of the tiles, since the hob does not heat up. This requires a minimal amount of energy.

Another feature: a unique security element . When creating the device, the minimum diameter of an object that could heat up was provided (most often, at least 12 cm).

And if you like to brew coffee in a Turk, you should buy a flat metal disk - an adapter that will heat up. By the way, its presence will allow you to use existing dishes rather than buy new ones.

The induction hob can only be connected to a socket equipped with a fuse and grounding.

If you want your device to serve you for as long as possible, take proper care of it.

After each cooking, wipe the surface with a soft cloth or sponge using liquid dishwashing gel. No harsh means! Make sure that moisture does not get inside the case during washing - otherwise the device may fail. The fan and air intake can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner.

How to choose and what to pay attention to?

When choosing a hob, you should pay attention to the following parameters:

Dimensions . The size of the device depends on the number of burners. Models with 4 heating zones are an excellent choice for large families. The line of well-known brands includes compact devices equipped with two burners. This option is suitable for installation in a small kitchen.
Panel material . The hob is made of tempered glass or glass ceramics. The first option is less practical because it does not tolerate temperature changes and can crack if a heavy object falls. The glass-ceramic surface is resistant to damage and is easy to clean from dirt.
Power . Devices differ in power: the lower the indicator, the longer it takes to heat water and cook food. Power affects the cost of the unit. You should consider the frequency of cooking when choosing a device.
Connection type . Panels can be dependent or independent. The peculiarity of the dependent one is that it can only work in conjunction with the oven. This is not a problem if you plan to install an oven under the panel. Independent devices are much more expensive, but they work regardless of the presence of an oven.
Ease of use . Ease of use depends on the location of the burners. The distance between them should be enough to accommodate pots and pans of different sizes.
Additional functions . The more options, the higher the price. The devices are equipped with a timer, residual heat indicator, accidental pressing lock, expansion zone for large dishes and other functions.

How many burners do you need?

The choice of the number of burners in an induction hob primarily depends on the size of the family and the need to use all burners regularly. In the list below we have distributed the approximate ratio of the number of burners to the size of the family:

1 piece will be enough for a family of 1-2 people.
2 pieces - suitable for a family of 3 - 4 people, in which there are no small children.
4 pcs – worth buying for a large family of 5 or more people.
5 and 6 pieces - such hobs should be purchased only by canteens and cafes.

This ratio is quite arbitrary, since one family may cook less often, and another more often. It is also worth considering the presence of other household kitchen devices in the house. For example, someone will cook first courses only in a slow cooker, which means that at least one burner is definitely no longer needed. Also, with a microwave, there is no need to heat food on the stove. All these points should be taken into account before buying an induction cooker.

Our rating of the best induction cookers is divided into segments based on the number of burners, so that you can easily choose a device for the size of your family.

How to choose the right tabletop induction hob?

An induction cooker is often called an inverter cooker. Inside it there is a copper coil with a metal core, through which an electric current is passed, due to which a magnetic field is formed. Its frequency ranges from 20 to 100 kHz. It penetrates the material of the hob itself, thereby creating electromagnetic vibrations. In turn, they begin to heat the bottom of the pot or pan.

It is generally accepted that induction cookers are the safest in terms of operation. In other words, only the bottom of the pan is heated, and neither heat nor open fire occurs. The electromagnetic field interacts only with metal objects. For example, even if you put a wooden spoon or a towel on the switched on stove, they will not even heat up. This feature distinguishes an induction cooker from infrared or gas products.

Cheap induction cooker or expensive? There is a difference? Cheap portable induction for 3000 rubles

The heat does not dissipate into the environment, making it possible to fully maintain the temperature parameters required by the recipe. The air temperature in the kitchen will not increase. Before purchasing, you should first decide on the location of the device. Due to the fact that it operates on the basis of an electromagnetic field, it must be located at a considerable distance from other household electrical appliances. The cost of the device will directly depend on the control method - models with touch buttons will cost much more than designs with conventional rotary controls.

It would be desirable to be able to adjust the power of each burner. Inexpensive models have about 10-12 power modes; in more expensive tiles this number can increase to 20 or even higher. There are devices with continuously adjustable power, but these designs are very expensive, although they are much more convenient to use. Many stoves are equipped with a timer that will turn off the burner at the right time. It is very convenient if there is a temperature maintenance function - the cooked dish will remain warm or hot for a long time.

When we chose products to include in our rating of the best induction tabletop cookers, we were guided by all the points that we told you about a little earlier. However, other important factors were also taken into account, such as price-quality ratio, as well as user reviews. The review included not the most expensive devices, so that most of our readers could afford to buy such equipment.

Which is better - electric, glass-ceramic or induction?

Hobs and stoves with different surfaces have design features, advantages and disadvantages.

Electric panels are quiet, inexpensive and affordable, and easy to operate, but they take longer to heat up, are less safe and only heat pans with a flat bottom evenly..

Induction options are highly efficient, economical, and manufacturers are careful about safety. However, they are quite expensive and require maintenance and utensils.

Glass-ceramic options are less safe than induction, more productive than electric, and are something of a middle option..

In addition, glass-ceramic panels are demanding in terms of surface care and do not tolerate impacts or spot falls.

Features of induction cookers

The main difference between an induction cooker and other types is the principle of its operation. During cooking, it is not the cooking surface that heats up, but the bottom of the pan. At first, this may cause some inconvenience, since you will need to replace your usual pots and pans with special ones, the bottom of which is made of ferromagnetic material.

The best countertop induction cookers come in freestanding and built-in options. Regardless of the type, they are easy to clean, safe and save energy.
