Ttoday I'm demonstrating a Melleware induction cooktop
and review how this works! Let's check it out I've never used one of these before.
For these induction cookers, you need to use a pot that is compatible with the Mellerware.
So they sell the pot and the cooker top as a set. And you can see the pattern or the rings
of the elements of the pot as well as the cooker top. You definitely need to use the correct pot,
as a normal pot will not work on the surface. I'm going to switch this on press the function key and
I've got a little water in the pot as this gets hot instantaneously. You've got to have something
in the pot as it warms up. So I'm going to place the pot on the cooker press the function and you
can hear it started up and let's look into the pot and see how it heats up. You can see the water
is starting to bubble almost immediately with the steam rising and if I remove that and just
test the bottom of the pot it does get quite hot and that's the conduction into the metal itself.
Now that the pot heated up or I know that it's heating up I'm just gonna pour some of this
vegetable into the pot just to heat it up and cook it. This is a great
idea when traveling it heats up very quickly.
It will warm the food in a matter of seconds. You can see it's already bubbling and getting hot.
What's great about these induction cookers it is super energy efficient. It heats up almost
immediately and it's much better than a normal electric cooker or even a gas cooker in terms of
energy efficiency. This induction cooker works by conducting heat electromagnetically from
the cooker top to the pot, that's why it needs to have
a special pot to work with this it loses less heat this way and works magnificently.
Once you remove the pot from the cooker top it immediately beeps as an error and does not work
it needs the pot surface on the cooker top in order to work. So we've now cooked this
and voila it's ready. It's very quick, it's taken me less than two minutes to
do this, and we can get lunch ready let's remove this pot and I'm gonna test this
for you. Touch this hot surface carefully it's fairly warm but not hot. So it
does not really get hot and it doesn't lose heat or retain heat as a normal stove would
definitely recommend this for energy-efficient cooking. It's very quick and efficient.
There is a caution on here which says hot surface so definitely check it carefully
before trying what I'm going to do. I'm testing this to check the heating surface on this.
You would never be able to do this on a normal stove. It's a bit warm but
it's not going to burn you. All of this heat goes directly into the pot for cooking it is extremely
energy efficient. I've never tried one before it's my first time. Something I'm
looking forward to getting. I'm gonna quickly throw in some soya chunks just to heat up.
And see how long this takes to heat up. This was from
the fridge.
Unfortunately, i'm traveling and there's only a teaspoon and not a tablespoon in here.
Make do with what you have.
You can see it's bubbling and sizzling almost immediately.
So it's a Mellerware cooker top.
Mille also offers a range and I'm sure there's a variety of brands other brands as well.
Okay, that looks almost done. I hope you found this useful
and will consider getting one just for efficiency and speed.
