Infrared cooker heats up slowly but heat is more evenly distributed.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">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.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">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.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Safety: Induction cooker is safer. Since it doesn’t turn on without compatible pan. and automatically turns off after pan is removed.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">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.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Durability: Infrared cookers are more durable.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Cleaning: Induction cooker is easier to clean.</li> </ul>For Gas Stoves:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Pros:</li> </ul> <ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">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.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">One does not have to depend on power cuts for cooking.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Good for cooking most Indian food like chapatti, etc.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">No specific requirement for utensil type.</li> </ol> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Cons:</li> </ul> <ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Inflammable and thus dangerous. Can cause burns.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Heats up the surroundings as well. Can increase the cooling bills if the environment is air conditioned.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Ceiling Fans cannot be used along with it.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Flames do produce CO2.</li> </ol>For Electric Coil Cook-tops:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Pros:</li> </ul> <ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Not inflammable thus creates a little safer environment.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">More energy efficient than gas stoves and can be economical than gas stoves if gas is not available at subsidized rates.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Not as good as a gas stove for cooking food like chapatti but still can be used.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Releases less heat to the surrounding and ceiling fans can be used along with it.</li> </ol> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Cons:</li> </ul> <ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Can cause burns when touched.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Takes time to heat up.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Can only be used with flat surface utensils.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Inadequate power supply can stop cooking.</li> </ol> For Induction Cook-tops: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Pros:</li> </ul> <ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Induction cook-tops heat faster and distribute heat more evenly.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">They are completely safe as they heat only when a steel or iron element comes in contact.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">They are easier to clean.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Efficient in terms of energy use.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Come with programmable temperature controls.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">No heat wasted as it cools quickly as one shuts it down.</li> </ol> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Cons:</li> </ul> <ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Can only be used with steel or iron utensils. Thus the kitchen has to be adjusted accordingly.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">They are generally expensive than regular cook-tops.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Can be used only with flat surface utensils.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Inadequate power supply can stop cooking.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Will not work at all for some Indian food like chapatti.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">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.</li> </ol></blockquote>
