    Infrared - hot plate eka wage coil ekak thiyenne. Energy loss eka wadi. Habai onema bajanayak use karanna puluwan

    induction- energy efficiency wadi. Ikmnata kema rath wenawa. Habai special bajama use karanna one.

    overall. Induction is better and safe (low heat loss)

    Induction cooker එකේ EMF Radiation සීන් එකක් තියෙනවා නේද?

    • Electricity Consumption: Induction cooker is more efficient.
    • Heating: Induction cooker heats up fast but the heat is concentrated at the bottom of the cookware. Infrared cooker heats up slowly but heat is more evenly distributed.
    • Cooking: I think Infrared Cooker provides more evenly cooked food which is similar to cooking in gas. But in induction cooker heat is concentrated at the bottom of the pan so, Stir-frying things in induction cooker is a bit difficult since food gets burn very easily.
    • Cookware: Infrared Cooker is better since all kinds of cookware can be used. In induction cooker you can only use iron or stainless steel cookware.
    • Safety: Induction cooker is safer. Since it doesn’t turn on without compatible pan. and automatically turns off after pan is removed.
    • Radiation: Infrared cooker is better since it has no radiation. In induction cooker due to varying magnetic flux people with pacemaker should use care when standing near induction cooker.
    • Durability: Infrared cookers are more durable.
    • Cleaning: Induction cooker is easier to clean.

    For Gas Stoves:

    • Pros:
    1. Gas stoves provide better cooking control. One does not have to worry too much about position and size of the utensil kept on it. Though it can impact efficiency.
    2. One does not have to depend on power cuts for cooking.
    3. Good for cooking most Indian food like chapatti, etc.
    4. No specific requirement for utensil type.
    • Cons:
    1. Inflammable and thus dangerous. Can cause burns.
    2. Heats up the surroundings as well. Can increase the cooling bills if the environment is air conditioned.
    3. Ceiling Fans cannot be used along with it.
    4. Flames do produce CO2.
    For Electric Coil Cook-tops:

    • Pros:
    1. Not inflammable thus creates a little safer environment.
    2. More energy efficient than gas stoves and can be economical than gas stoves if gas is not available at subsidized rates.
    3. Not as good as a gas stove for cooking food like chapatti but still can be used.
    4. Releases less heat to the surrounding and ceiling fans can be used along with it.
    • Cons:
    1. Can cause burns when touched.
    2. Takes time to heat up.
    3. Can only be used with flat surface utensils.
    4. Inadequate power supply can stop cooking.


    For Induction Cook-tops:


    • Pros:
    1. Induction cook-tops heat faster and distribute heat more evenly.
    2. They are completely safe as they heat only when a steel or iron element comes in contact.
    3. They are easier to clean.
    4. Efficient in terms of energy use.
    5. Come with programmable temperature controls.
    6. No heat wasted as it cools quickly as one shuts it down.
    • Cons:
    1. Can only be used with steel or iron utensils. Thus the kitchen has to be adjusted accordingly.
    2. They are generally expensive than regular cook-tops.
    3. Can be used only with flat surface utensils.
    4. Inadequate power supply can stop cooking.
    5. Will not work at all for some Indian food like chapatti.
    6. Some people observe that the heating is localized and mostly happens at the center of the utensil. This makes it important to put the right sized utensil on a induction cook-top and over sized ones should not be used.
