Shopping for inductive cooktops can be very exciting as these appliances are very interesting. Among the impressive benefits and features of induction cooktops are the time and power savings.  

Induction cooktops are finding applications in private homes as well as being used commercially world wide. 

For those new to these cooktops, they are completely different from what you're used to so be prepared to learn. But that is all right because it is a fun type of learning. Before you begin shopping for an induction cooktop, the following information will come in handy.

When shopping for home use you will notice fewer considerations you'll have to make than if you are shopping for commercial use induction cooker. For instance, in commercial use it may be necessary to have an electrician analyze the locations wiring and power capability. 

In a commercial environment you are likely to need element domino options so it's important for you to understand these. There are single element domino modules that effectively give you a custom cooking surface or even larger ones given your cooking needs. 

Be sure to prepare for a little sticker shock because you will be paying essentially for per watt pricing which is higher. You can even find these multi-element modules for home use in some respects.

There are so many things to consider, especially with regards to safety, that you will need to call an expert to handle your cooktop's installation. Most cooking appliances, at least in the United States come with 230 or 240 volt plugs. 


Those numbers are just the range of voltage coming in, and you'll find that they are the same. If you have a large cooktop, chances are it is going to require a lot of power, so take that into consideration before you purchase one.

One standard type of feature is the ability to recognize cooking wear, or pots. The sensors are capable of recognizing the magnetic properties of the pots using sensors and magnetic mass. Induction cooktops must be used with ferroud materials in the pots or a magnetic quality type material. 5 inch diameter is the standard pot used with induction cooktops. Some units have an overheat protection function.

If you have this function it will allow the unit to detect overheating conditions and shut itself down in the event that you experience one. There are also child safety features on these cooktops requiring the use of a code to even use the unit. 

There is much to learn if you want to buy an induction cooktop. The wiring that will be used to feed the inductive unit will need to be inspected by a qualified electrician. You will need to consider power, wiring, capacity, and safety when choosing an inductive cooktop.
