An induction cooker operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction, where an alternating current passes through a coil beneath the cooking surface, generating a magnetic field. This magnetic field induces electric currents in the ferromagnetic cookware placed on top, producing heat directly in the pot or pan. This method allows for quick and efficient heating, as energy is transferred directly to the cookware rather than heating the cooking surface first. The induction cooker also offers precise temperature control and safety, as the surface remains cool to the touch when not in contact with compatible cookware.

What is 15 pounds pressure in autoclave?
Steam autoclave's work at 30 to 35 PSI, the previous answer of 15 PSI is for a pressure cooker. A pressure cooker cannot be used as an autoclave, the temperature is not high enough to cause sterilization. Anything less than 121C / 250F (30 PSI) is incapable of killing microorganisms. Also the pressure vesal of a pressure cooker cannot handle the added pressure needed to sterilize, IE: adding weight to the release valve will just cause the cooker to explode (so don't try it).
Why does a pressure cooker save cooking time and saves on fuel or electricity and what are the principles involved?
The boiling point of a liquid rises when it is subjected to high pressure. So, the food in a pressure cooker is exposed to water (or steam) at a higher temperature than in an open pan. The food, therefore, cooks quicker and so saves on fuel.A pressure cooker does not save cooling time. In fact, because the food is cooked at a higher temperature it has more cooling to do and that will take longer.
Why is a pressure cooker used to cook at higher altitudes?
The boiling point of a liquid goes down as the atmospheric pressure decreases. At sea level water boils at 100 degrees C. As you go up higher the air pressure decreases (because there's less air above you). In 'mile high' Denver, Colorado, water boils at about 95 degrees C. Cooking, like all chemical reactions happens more slowly as the temperature decreases. Thus anything you cook by boiling will take longer at high altitudes. In a pressure cooker the pressure is higher than it is outside, so the water boils at a higher temperature and cooking times are reduced. In fact you don't have to live at high altitudes to benefit from using a pressure cooker. Even at sea level they are useful, especially for reducing the time for slow dishes such as stews, which is convenient and saves fuel.
Why induction cooker name is induction?
An induction cooker is named for its use of electromagnetic induction to heat cookware. Unlike traditional cooking methods that rely on direct flame or electric heating elements, induction cookers generate an electromagnetic field that directly heats the pot or pan itself. This efficient process allows for faster cooking times and precise temperature control, making it a popular choice in modern kitchens. The term "induction" reflects the technology's reliance on this electromagnetic principle.

Is an induction cooker safe to use during pregnancy?
Yes. It should be safe to use the induction cooker safe in pregnancy. But then retrospective study can be done to prove the same.
Can a person with a pacemaker use the Prestige Induction Cooker?
Yes, a person with a pacemaker can generally use the Prestige Induction Cooker. However, it's advisable for them to maintain a safe distance from the cooker while it's in operation, as induction cookers use electromagnetic fields that could potentially interfere with pacemaker function. It’s best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
What makes a cooker hob?
A cooker hob is simpley the top of the cooker where pans are heated to cook food. Hobs can be gas, electric or induction. Makes of these are normally the main manufacturers.
What are the health hazzards of food cooked on induction cooker?
There are none- The induction heats the pan (PS- HAS TO BA A CERTAIN TYPE), not the food directly. There is as much harm in induction as there is in traditional hot-plate.
Do you need special cookware for induction cooker?
Yes, you need special cookware for an induction cooker. Induction cooktops require cookware made of ferrous (magnetic) materials, such as cast iron or certain types of stainless steel, to create the magnetic field needed for cooking. Cookware made of aluminum, glass, or copper will not work unless they have a magnetic base. It's important to check for a "induction compatible" label when selecting cookware for induction cooking.
Why aluminum vessels are not used in induction cooker?
Plain aluminum vessel are not suitable in an induction cooker because aluminum does not have magnetic properties. However, if the bottom of aluminum cookware has a magnetic layer added to it, then you can use it. Induction cooking, which relies on an electromagnet to heat a vessel, requires that the cooking vessel have ferromagnetic materials like cast iron and stainless steel.
Is use of induction tops cheaper and safe?
the stove/cooker is more expensive but it is probably safer to use
What technologyis used in the construction of a simple solar cooker?

Can a person having pacemaker operate the Prestige Induction Cooker?
Yes, a person with a pacemaker can generally operate a Prestige Induction Cooker. Induction cooktops use electromagnetic fields to heat cookware, but the strength of these fields is typically low and localized. However, it's advisable for individuals with pacemakers to consult their healthcare provider for personalized guidance, as individual circumstances may vary.
How does an electric cooker use electromagnetic induction?
An electric cooker uses electromagnetic induction by passing an alternating current through a coil of wire in the cooktop. This creates an oscillating magnetic field, which induces an electric current in the cookware placed on top of the cooktop. The resistance in the cookware generates heat, which cooks the food.
