Commercial induction cookers are already a household product. As a restaurant owner, Jack told me that since switching from gas stoves to commercial induction cookers, his restaurant's orders have doubled! To ensure the continued profitability of the restaurant, Jack has replaced all the machines in the restaurant with commercial induction cookers. More restaurants will use this efficient equipment in the future, but do you know everything about commercial induction cookers? I have summarized some facts you need to know about commercial induction cookers to help you better understand them.

Commercial induction cooker vs gas stove

If you decide to use a commercial induction cooker, you need to give up the traditional gas stove because they are two completely different products. Commercial induction cookers use electricity to heat food, while gas stoves use gas to heat. Gas stoves are easy to operate; you turn a button to operate them, and the food cooked with a gas stove is more delicious, so everyone is used to using a gas stove.

With the development of technology, we have found that gas stoves have many disadvantages. For example, in the summer, the chef sweats profusely because of using the gas stove with a complete fire and ingests some toxic gases when cooking. In the modern era of advocating for environmental protection and health, gas stoves will inevitably lag behind the development of society. I am not saying that gas stoves are bad, but in modern times, they are no longer the most effective way of cooking.

When Jack and I were talking, he mentioned that the reason for using a commercial induction cooker was that this machine is very suitable for modern kitchens. The commercial induction cooker is as easy to operate as a gas stove. By adjusting the button, you can achieve the process from slow cooking to fast cooking. In the restaurant during peak hours, the commercial induction cooker is also a good helper. Its energy utilization rate is as high as 95%! This means that almost no energy you use will be wasted!

A commercial induction cooker can boil four cups of water in just three minutes, while a gas stove would take eight minutes to cook the same amount of water. This difference may not be significant in regular times, but in the fast-paced catering industry where every second counts, cooking speed is critical! At the same time, you don’t need to worry about the toxic gases emitted by commercial induction cookers when cooking, because it is environmentally friendly and does not involve a combustion process, so it will not release poisonous gases such as carbon monoxide.

How to choose the right commercial induction cooker according to dining needs？

Generally speaking, commercial induction cooker manufacturers will produce a variety of commercial induction cooker series, each suitable for different types of customers.

 

If you run a cafe or a small restaurant, and the number of people serving is small, it is more suitable for you to choose a smaller desktop induction cooker. For example, the countertop induction cooker LT-TAM-B135 of the Lestov manufacturer is ideal for compact kitchen spaces. They can cook 8.4L of food in 15 minutes and can serve 15 people at a time. You don’t need to worry about the flavor of the food because the Lestov countertop induction cooker is specially designed for Asian cuisine. It can achieve the traditional "wok gas" without oil smoke, which is more in line with Asian flavors!

 

If you need a machine that can meet the needs of large-scale cooking for chain restaurants, hotels or factory canteens, Lestov's four-burner or six-burner stoves, specially designed for places with significant cooking needs, can meet your needs and cook standardized dishes at one time for 60-90 people.

 

Advantages of commercial induction cookers

More and more people are using commercial induction cookers, which is inseparable from its many advantages.

Energy saving and environmental protection

First of all, in today's advocacy of environmental protection and energy saving, the open flame-free technology of commercial induction cookers is in line with environmental protection and energy saving. It produces almost no fume and exhaust gas, and the energy utilization rate is as high as 95% or more! You should know that the energy utilization rate of gas stoves is only 60% at most, which means that nearly 40% of the energy is wasted in the air during cooking.

Even heating

Commercial induction cookers heat evenly. When you need to stir-fry food in large quantities, you have to consider the evenness of the food. The gas stove concentrates the heat in the middle area of the pot, which makes the food in the middle area easy to burn, and the food on the edge is not cooked, which seriously affects the taste of the food. The commercial induction cooker heats evenly and can ensure the standard flavor of the food, which is very important for restaurants.

 

Fast cooking

We have experimented that it takes at least 10 minutes to heat food with a traditional stove, but the commercial induction cooker heats the pot in just a few seconds. A small 3500w induction cooker can boil 6 cups of water in just three minutes. This is good news for busy kitchens.

 

Automation function

Automation is changing human society. Lestov manufacturers have invested in the research and development of automated machines many years ago. Automation means improved restaurant efficiency. Now, the automatic cooking machine invented by Lestov manufacturers can realize the feat of one chef operating three machines at the same time. Multitasking can effectively complete restaurant orders. Similarly, the automatic cooking machine has a recipe editing function and can store hundreds of recipes. After preparing the materials, it can be automatically stir-fried. This is simply a perfect combination of improving work efficiency and food consistency!

 

Disadvantages of commercial induction cookers

I can not guarantee that commercial induction cookers have no disadvantages. When purchasing, you need to consider whether you can accept its disadvantages.

Learning time

Commercial induction cookers are new products. You need time to learn and train them. Generally speaking, inexperienced people can be fully used in one month, while experienced chefs can operate proficiently within two weeks after mastering the basic operations.

 

Purchase cost

The purchase cost of commercial induction cookers often discourages buyers. Buyers always mention that the purchase cost of commercial induction cookers is expensive. But in terms of long-term costs, the cost of buying an induction cooker may be less. First of all, commercial induction cookers are incredibly efficient and can cook a lot of food in a short time. In addition, commercial induction cookers can effectively save energy and effectively reduce energy costs in the long run.

 

Cookware

Commercial induction cookers require the use of specific cookware, especially attention to the fact that the cookware needs to contain iron because commercial induction cookers need to move with iron molecules to achieve the effect of heating. Most stainless steel cookware can be used. If your restaurant already has this type of cookware, then you don’t need to buy it specifically.

Is a commercial induction cooker safe? Will the induction field harm my health?

Most modern commercial induction cookers are equipped with overheating protection devices. Using commercial induction cookers is much safer than using gas stoves. You can even put your hands on the surface of electromagnetic induction, while gas stoves will emit open flames. If you accidentally touch the open flame with your hand, it will harm your health!
