Hi this is John with Designer Appliances, we're here at the Fisher & Paykel
experience Center where their Executive Chef Tagere Southwell is gonna cook us
a meal using the Fisher & Paykel ovens and cook tops. Let's go check it out.
With induction this is something that people are not necessarily familiar with some
people say uh, I don't know but they don't even know about it they just don't
want it because they don't know and I'm like well you should really look at it.
When people come in for demonstrations on induction they really see the power
of it and as I said 40% faster than gas what they did here was updated
with the smart zone so that you don't have any real gaps between the two so if
you have long pots and you want to roast something or if you have a longer grill
that goes across two elements here or two zones that would work perfectly to
utilize that and have no dead space where there's no heat. And people always
ask you know how you know what's the response time how precise is it and you
know I'll put like a little bit of let's say our sauce in here, I'll get our
shallots going first and of course I'll just turn the power on,
we have swipe technology so it's kind of like your smart phone, so once again it
mimics the current technology and that's what I like about Fisher and Paykel is
that they think currently - so I'm gonna put just a pinch of grapeseed oil in
there which I like to use a flavorless oil things that people aren't allergic
to. And so I'll turn this up to like a nine and you'll immediately start to
hear a sizzle or actually or actually a "P" here we go
so that was about five seconds you start to hear a sizzle. So that is what you
want all that power going into that pan and of course you need pans that are
highly ferrous which means they have high iron content to work on here and
that's what we have here and these pots are great they don't make a lot of sound
some pots that are off on their metals they make a lot of sound on here like a
lot of loud vibration and people don't like it,
that's what also turns people off of induction and you don't hear that on
here - but what you want to know is that this goes up to a "P" which is giving you
a 110 percent power. And I've worked on inductions for years I worked in the
appliance industry for 10 years now doing demonstrations and you can see
already how those shallots are trying to go - People always ask me what's the
learning curve with inductions you cut up something really small and
pretty like that and you burn it just like that, because that P is hot
it's like me and the hibachi guy at Benihana's and you need to be manipulating
that food like constantly. So and that is a very quick saute, so that's why a lot
of restaurants have taken on induction because obviously their job is to be
quick and this is what it gives you is a great finished product, really really
quickly. What I also like about this is they have a timer on each one of these
six zones here which is great, so if you're doing rice you want perfect 15
minute rice you have your timer which is the first thing that I burned in here as
I tell people about the power of this machine that 110 percent power is going
to give you that hibachi style cooking or wok style cooking that people ask 'Oh
what about my round bottom wok now' and I'm like you put your most highly
ferrous pan on here and you will see it's just like a wok because it gives
you that power right into the pan. So let's tell people make sure you cook on
a medium high if you're not comfortable if you're getting used to it if you're
sort of used to gas and now you're using this it's a little bit faster so you
might want to play on like a 5 or a 4 and get everything going and then speed
up a little bit. But what's great is that this whole pan is getting rid of that
water it's dissipating all at the same time so I have even cooking, like if I'm
doing 5 chicken breasts in here I'm not moving it around sort of following the
flame so to speak which is great so everything is getting done really
quickly I don't have that action green sort of army green colored vegetables
when I'm finished I should have a beautiful wilted vegetable in a 2 or 3
minute process of cooking here. So and that is done and that was maybe two
three minutes so that is the kind of product that you want nicely finished
turns right off and once again you have your timers on each one and they also
have an auto shut off if you get liquids all over here if it spills over when
you're not looking you walk away and you know that's when a pot usually goes over
that will make a boo-boo a really loud sound which is great. You know, you come
in and say 'oh I don't like induction' many people have said wow now I
I want it so you just never know and it may not be right for you either because
your situation might be different. I had a person at a demo actually my last demo
at monogram, where this guy he taught me about cast iron where actually cast iron
in general it's made with sand in the production on the bottom so if you have
the old kind that's not enamel coated which I recommend enamel coated for
these cooktops because if you're doing the chef thing that people see on TV
doing this rubbing thing, you're going to braid your top and you've spent how many
thousands on this thing and now you're going to destroy it by just dragging
this heavy pot cast irons very heavy on here and so he told me he lived at the
beach and he had a gas cooktop and he was ready to buy an induction because he
takes him 40 minutes to boil water cuz he must have his windows open at the
beach heat that's why he lives there in the summer, he's like I want my windows
open but I also want to eat so he got the induction! So that's better for his
lifestyle so I told people I asked people as many questions as they asked
me because you may want something that's not right for you but when I explain
these products to them then they rethink it. So, you never want to put in something
or install an oven in your house and then rip it out that's kind of
ridiculous you know because you're not happy. So we want customers to be happy.
