This is so useful! I learned a lot about the difference between Induction and Infrared cookers. I didn’t even know there was a difference. Thank you for uploading.
I have a induction cooker, which I'm not a fan of. You're totally right about it creating a hot spot near the middle. Also, due to the discrete controls, sometimes it's either too hot or not hot enough, with no ability to choose something in between. I like your recommendation on using the induction mainly for liquids, not for frying. That's good advice.
Yeah i just moved in to a new apartment with an induction cooker and i don't like it. Also after watching this video, i'm surprised it's only 5 year lifetime!
5 year lifetime is a rough number. Actual life depends on the brand, control type(touch or button), and how you use it. If you use your induction cooker at the highest heat setting for a long time, it will negatively impact the life of your induction cooker. So, If you use your induction cooker properly, it will last much longer than 5 years. And if you use it incorrectly it might not even last for 5 years.
Cooking for one, me and my cast iron skillet. Perfect burger size hot spot, I can fry my hamburger to perfection as a skillet remains cold. I understand your displeasure, I gather you can understand my delight. I'm excited I didn't have to heat the whole pan paying for it. How low can I go as my strategy on how much I want to pay for utilities. I invest in efficiencies and my bill keeps going down even as the fuel cost goes up. Cooking a pan of fried chicken, it takes a lot longer so the pan warms up. I live in a cabin in Alaska in the woods. I tried regular hot plates ,they were slow. I had an infrared hot plate and that seemed to dangerous and was very slow. Indeed the most efficient way to heat and boil water, seemingly each technology has its own advantages and disadvantages. Induction heating is unique. The eggs or French toast will not burn when set to the right temperature. The hot plate will die if you put it on sear and you walk out to take care of the dog as it never turns off and gets too hot. I recommend and never press the highest setting, been there already. They're not very expensive, at Walmart. Everyone should have one and put it to use. I have both resistant and induction hot plates to cook on. I don't have an oven and I don't want an electric bill to go with one, living in my one room in a large log cabin. Heating the building was 1250 gallons of fuel oil the first year and I did not stay warm. Large Toyostove wss too big off and on off and on until the starting element burned out, I replaced it after I repaired it what's the smallest Toyostove that limits no fuel consumption to 2 gallons per day and I'm comfortable and warm, love heating the house, the heat leaks into the house and has maintained about 30°. Slowly circulating well water in the water room eliminated electric. This year I will use about 300 gallons, slightly less, fuel oil to stay warm, about 1,000 gal less per year. That's $5,000 this year in savings on oil. As electric bills have climbed, this year's electric bill is nearly $600 less than last year. How to invest the savings to make the bill go down even more. Portable heat pump that runs on solar once it warms up to 50 degrees outside.
choice of cooker depends on the user. I use induction for main cooking and since I don't like fry by pan, I use my air fryer which is very convenient for me. Love my induction cooker which is very handy for me that I can cook anywhere, indoor or outdoor!
Thank you for this very informative video, I have an induction cooker and I don’t like it, now I’m planning to buy an infrared cooker because of your video ♥️
I've been using induction cooker for about 4 years. I always struggling to make things like fried rice because the pan is heated too quickly and not evenly, and most of the times the lowest temperature is still too hot or stop giving any heat at all. I'm thinking to get a hybrid induction + infrared stove because hopefully I'll be able to utilize the best of both options. Good video!
Buy gas stove best and efficient. I struggled with induction cooker and only use it to boil milk and water. Use cast iron cookware with gas stove fast and healthy way to cook
I'm using it since 6+years. Didn't face any problem you mentioned. We use wonderchef non-stick cookwares and Meyer's tri-ply stainless steel pans. Also the all the cookwares mentioned heats evenly.
I've used both . And I say induction cooktop is no match for a infra-red cooktop . I've used prestige pic 23.0 & infrared from a local market . Induction cooktop feels safer but not for cooking . Because you really can't control the heat . I mean there is setting to lower or higher the heat but it's not the actuality . In my case , the induction cooktop consumes a maximum of 1.6 kW and when you set the heat at highest level , it keeps heating continuously but if you lower the heat level , heating starts continuously for some second and then heating stops for some second to let it cool down and again restarts heating after a short interval (recognised by humming sound) . The lower you set the level of heat , the lower the interval of actual heating becomes than the interval of "not heating" . In short , either it consumes 1.6 kW(including fan and cheap) of energy or 0Kw(+power required to run cheap and fan). In the case of infrared , there is a normal even heating and if you lower the heat level , it actually lowers the consumption of electrical power thus providing continuous heat at different heat levels .
Thanks for the informative video. I have a Philips induction cooker and it's more than 5 years old and now am having issue on touch button on lowering the temp. And that leads me to look for another cooker.
Given our modern era, we are usually hard pressed with time. Induction is a blessing since the food can be cooked very fast. As far as induction not suitable for stir frying, well the key here is to understand the combo of cooking with optimum temperature, timing and cookware size. I have been cooking stir frying dishes on induction and they all cook so very well .
if you like old school gas cooking like I do then go for an infrared cooker you will enjoy it far more trust me :) I cant stand the heat spots and pulsed on-off of the induction cookers it just drives me nuts. it's either too cold or too hot so you end up burning majority of things your cook from adjusting controls all the time :/ if I'm at my mum's cooking I'll drag my camp cooker out and cook the backyard XD it's far more relaxing and enjoyable :)
Please do an updated comparison with a standard hot plate (1000W or more). LPG, Petrol, Diesel and electricity crisis in Sri Lanka atm. Hot plates have been sold out since the 1st lockdown we had last year. If you can find a hot plate the price is x3 or x4 the price. Induction and Infrared cookers were not a mainstream items so most big electrical retailers only had a few available but at medium to high price when compared to a standard two burner LPG cooker. Saw some Induction and Infrared cookers today and the prices were crazy!
She included a comparison. I have the two in my room. I can choose my favorite and I always choose the induction. Sri Lanka is beyond the scope of understanding. If one can get solar panels to directly connect to red coil electric heat it can work. Induction requires AC. Flush with cash, buying induction uses less fuel powered by a generator. Long-term savings might make this a good investment. Without power it's meaningless. Heartbreaking.

Yes, it will work! The infrared cooker doesn't require a metal/iron pot to work. So, it shouldn't be a problem to use earthenware pots with an infrared cooker. Thanks for the comment!
The induction cooker needs magnetic material with some resistance. I think the resistance of silver is very low, so it might not work in silver metal. But steel is a magnetic material with high resistance, so it should work on steel. I am confused about how things will go if these metals are combined. If you ever try it, please let me know the outcome through the comment. Thank you for your comment!
Infrared cookers also have a magnetic field, because any conductor with flowing current has it. It should be measured to compare radiations between the two.
In short, I would say it would be inefficient. If you look at it, there are energy losses in two steps, firstly when the induction coil is generating eddy current in the metal disc, there will be losses due to flux leakage and resistance of the induction coil secondly, when the heat is transferring from the metal disc to the pot there will be heat loss in the surrounding. It is just a more inefficient version of an infrared cooker. Instead of putting metal disc and inducing eddy current in that metal disc by induction. It would be more efficient to just directly supply electric current to the heating element(i.e infrared cooker). This is just my opinion. Thank you for your comment!
This can be dangerous. The ferromagnetic sheet will glow red hot because it will not be able to transfer its all energy to the utensil above. This method can damage your cooktop easily.
Well, if the surface is non-metallic (such as plastic or glass) you are safe but if the surface or body of your infrared cooker is metallic then please repair your infrared cooker it might be risky to use. Thank you for your comment!
It depends. induction cooker is not that great when frying things... but it cooks food very fast. infrared cooker is slow but it is similar to regular gas. Thank you for comment!
The estimated annual costs for the induction cooktop are found to be 14.04% lower compared to the infrared one. The exact cost depends upon how much time you use it. Suppose your electricity bill while using an Induction cooker is Rs. 2000 per year then your infrared cooker bill will be around Rs. 1719.2. But, the heat-up time of the infrared cooktop is significantly greater; for instance, its maximum heat-up time is 60% higher than that of the induction one. Thank you for commenting!

Infrared cookers also have a magnetic field, because any conductor with flowing current has it. It should be measured to compare radiations between the two.

So basically, it is better to HAVE BOTH.
Interesting presentation. Could you put a disc of magnetic metal on an induction plate and another pan on top of it? Or is that silly?
In short, I would say it would be inefficient.
If you look at it, there are energy losses in two steps, firstly when the induction coil is generating eddy current in the metal disc, there will be losses due to flux leakage and resistance of the induction coil secondly, when the heat is transferring from the metal disc to the pot there will be heat loss in the surrounding.
