I was thinking the same thing. One just needs to understand that induction heats faster... therefore no taking a step away to do something else while waiting for the pan and oil to heat up. That’s all.
I agree, these can be very dangerous in the hands of more ons. ✌️ Just imagine, they can even get close to it and try to break it with their head. Hey, it's possible!
Hi there, thanks for the comment. I'm not entirely sure I've understood your meaning. With induction, once a pan is on and being heated, the user can walk away and the pan can get hot very quickly. This time from cold to dangerously hot is much shorter than with other stove types. Many people are used to putting on the pan and leaving the room while it initially heats up.
it doesn't make sense, why not show which one consumes less electricity because if you forget oil in the pan, leave it for a long time, it will also catch fire. induction is simply more powerful and efficient.
Hello, thank you for your comment. Setting the power to about half-way on most induction stoves is about right. This should mean, in the case of oil, that the pan is ready for frying in after about one minute. It's putting the power up very high (which is commonplace on older stoves) which is extremely dangerous on induction hobs.
Induction is immensely more efficient at cooking, thats all you need to take from ceramic vs induction It is faster at cooking its more energy efficient It heats up much more quickly But naturally that means its likely to reach fire temp more quickly so leaving it unattended is not a wise idea
Induction hobs are indeed more efficient. The heat is transferred to the pan via magnetic induction, causing heat in the pan due to its electrical resistance. In other words, there is no thermal connection. Thus the induction hob is much more efficient and convenient. However, this video seeks to highlight the significantly increased risk of reaching the flashpoint and autoignition points of oil. We believe that it's important that people understand the increased fire risk, which is an important concern, especially for vulnerable and elderly people.
I get the idea behind the video but the title is so stupid and pure click bait. Why would anyone who knowingly is cooking on induction, activate boost even - and then just turn around and walk away? Yeah no shit.
Hi nkmannen. Many thanks for your comment. Actually this happens all the time, and our own customers have testified to it. The problem is that many people are used to older hob technologies where the energy input vs transfer is significantly lower than that of induction hobs, so they turn up the power, walk away and come back a couple of minutes later to reduce the power to maintain the desired level. The hugely increased energy transfer efficiency of induction hobs (definitely a good thing) isn't yet understood widely enough. All it takes is a change in behaviour, which isn't a problem for younger people but for certain groups the awareness must be raised. Edit: most cooking fires occur because of unattended cooking, regardless of the type of hob/stove. Elderly people and university students are the most likely to forget they've left a pan on, but it can happen to anyone.
You don't do it 999/1000 of the time, but if you do it 1/1000 of the times you cook, that's risky enough for me. Imagine the phone ringing when you are waiting for an important call, or hearing your child screaming in another room, or anything that can distract you. We are human beings, we are error-prone. Stuff happens. If we could always perform without mistakes, there would be no road accidents and no house accidents.
Faster heating is a plus, not a negative. Only morons will turn a heating element to more than MAX (the boost function) then leave it unattended. You can even cause forest fires just by using a simple magnifying glass under the sun! Sorry but this video makes no sense at all since it emphasizes "safety" and nothing else. Induction is actually safer since it does't produce a flame or a hot surface on its top. It's also more efficient. This is like hearing an electric salesperson/company trying to make people buy their technology instead of induction.
The video illustrates that the auto-ignition point of oil can be reached in a fraction of the time when compared to other types of cooktops. Induction hobs are only safer in the sense that they cannot ignite a tea towel, for example, and are less likely to cause a severe burn. the video makes perfect sense, but perhaps not to morons.
@@DorisThurling Isn't the main sale point of induction hobs is about how much faster it heats up? Surely (and I hope for your sake) you're not going to pull the trigger on one based on "gee, it's considerably more expensive = so it must be better for me"? If something heats up faster, it will reach a point of ignition faster. It doesn't take a genius to connect the dots.
@@GolzeD2009 About 50% of domestic fires are caused by stove top fires. This video is merely highlighting an increased risk. I don't understand why you are taking issue with it. I use an induction hob and I think it's brilliant. Your comment is insulting for no reason.

the way you spelled more ons 😄
Induction doesnt initialy give you time to leave the stove, ...so no problem.

i was hoping to heat a copper sheet using induction heater. Now i am confused with ceramic heating. Can you help me ?
Hello, I'm sorry for the late reply. Can you elaborate on your query please? I'm not sure I understand?
What if you don't set the wattage to max?

I think people with brain will be fine, and the rest will be nice and toasty!

Almost all cooking fires are a result of unattended cooking.
