Ukupheka kwe-induction sekukhona amashumi eminyaka, kodwa kuseminyakeni embalwa edlule kuphela lapho ubuchwepheshe buqale khona ukuthola udumo obelulokhu lukhona ngemuva kwezitofu zikaphethiloli isikhathi eside.
“Ngicabanga ukuthi ukuqaliswa sekufikile ekugcineni,” kusho uPaul Hope, umhleli we-Consumer Reports wezinto zikagesi zasekhaya.
Uma ubheka kuqala, isitofu sokungenisa umoya sibukeka sifana kakhulu nemodeli kagesi yendabuko. Kodwa ngaphansi kwe-hood zihlukile kakhulu. Ngenkathi izitofu zikagesi zendabuko zithembele enqubweni ehamba kancane yokudluliselwa kokushisa kusuka kuma-coil kuya kuzitsha zokupheka, izitofu zokungenisa umoya zisebenzisa ama-coil ethusi ngaphansi kwengubo ye-ceramic ukudala insimu yamagnetic ethumela ama-pulse kuzitsha zokupheka. Lokhu kubangela ukuthi ama-electron asebhodweni noma epanini ahambe ngokushesha, okudala ukushisa.
Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ucabanga ngokushintshela ku-induction cooktop noma ukwazi i-cooktop yakho entsha, nakhu okudingeka ukwazi.
Ama-induction hobs abelana ngezinye zezinto abazali, abanikazi bezilwane ezifuywayo kanye nabantu abaqaphela ukuphepha abazazisayo ngama-electronic hobs avamile: akukho malangabi avulekile noma izinkinobho zokujika ngengozi. I-hotplate izosebenza kuphela uma kufakwe izitsha zokupheka ezihambisanayo kuyo (okwengeziwe ngalokhu ngezansi).
Njengamamodeli kagesi endabuko, ama-induction hob awakhiphi ukungcola kwangaphakathi okungahlotshaniswa namagesi nezinkinga zezempilo ezifana ne-asthma yezingane. Njengoba izindawo eziningi zibheka umthetho wokuqeda igesi yemvelo esikhundleni sikagesi ngokubheka amandla aqhubekayo navuselelekayo, i-induction cishe izovela emakhishini amaningi asekhaya.
Enye yezinzuzo ezivame ukucashunwa zokungenisa umoya ukuthi isitofu ngokwaso sihlala sibanda njengoba insimu yamagnetic isebenza ngqo ezitsheni zokupheka. Kucashile kunalokho, kusho uHope. Ukushisa kungadluliselwa kusuka esitofini kubuyele endaweni yobumba, okusho ukuthi kungahlala kufudumele noma kushise ngisho noma kungashisi kakhulu njengesishisi sikagesi noma segesi esivamile. Ngakho-ke, ungabeki isandla sakho esitoshini sokungenisa umoya esisanda kusetshenziswa futhi unake izibani zezinkomba ezibonisa ukuthi indawo ipholile ngokwanele.
Ngesikhathi ngiqala ukusebenza elabhorethri yethu yokudla, ngathola ukuthi ngisho nabapheki abanolwazi badlula eqophelweni lokufunda lapho beshintshela ekuqaliseni ukudla. Enye yezinzuzo ezinkulu zokuqalisa ukudla ukuthi kushisa ngokushesha kangakanani, kusho uHope. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, kungenzeka ngokushesha kunalokho ongakulindela, ngaphandle kwezimpawu zokuzakhela ongase ukujwayele - njengamabhamuza akheka kancane uma ephekiwe. (Yebo, sinokudla okuningi okuphekiwe eVoraciously HQ!) Futhi, kungadingeka usebenzise amakhalori ambalwa kunalokho okufunwa yiresiphi. Uma ujwayele ukudlala ngezinye izitofu ukuze ugcine izinga lokushisa elihlala njalo, ungase umangale ukuthi ukuqala ukudla kungagcina kubila njalo. Khumbula ukuthi, njengezitofu zegesi, izitofu zokuqalisa ukudla ziyazwela kakhulu ezinguqukweni zezilungiselelo zokushisa. Amamodeli kagesi endabuko avame ukuthatha isikhathi eside ukufudumala noma ukupholisa.
Ama-induction hobs avame ukuhlonyiswa ngesici sokuvala ngokuzenzakalelayo esiwacisha lapho izinga lokushisa elithile lidlula. Sithole lokhu ikakhulukazi ngezitsha zokupheka zensimbi ecijile, ezigcina ukushisa kahle kakhulu. Sithole nokuthi ukuthintana nento eshisayo noma efudumele (amanzi, ibhodwe elisanda kukhishwa kuhhavini) ngezilawuli zedijithali ebusweni bokupheka kungabangela ukuthi zivuleke noma zishintshe izilungiselelo, yize izitofu zingavuthi ngaphandle kokulawula okufanele.
Uma abafundi bethu bebuza imibuzo mayelana nokufakwa kwegesi, bavame ukukhathazeka ngokuthi kuzodingeka bathenge izitsha zokupheka ezintsha. “Eqinisweni, cishe uthole amabhodwe namapani ambalwa ahambisana nokufakwa kwegesi kugogo wakho,” kusho uHope. Eyinhloko phakathi kwawo yinsimbi eqinile futhi engabizi. Kungenzeka futhi ukusebenzisa insimbi ehlanganisiwe, evame ukusetshenziswa kuma-oven aseDutch. UHope uthi iningi lamabhodwe ensimbi engagqwali kanye nenhlanganisela nawo afanelekela ama-cooktop okufakwa kwegesi. Kodwa-ke, i-aluminium, ithusi elihlanzekile, ingilazi kanye ne-ceramics akuhambisani. Qiniseka ukuthi ufunda yonke imiyalelo yesitofu onaso, kodwa kunendlela elula yokuhlola ukuthi isilungele yini ukufakwa kwegesi. Okudingayo nje yimagnethi yesiqandisi, kusho uHope. Uma inamathela phansi epanini, usuqedile.
Ngaphambi kokuba ubuze, yebo, kungenzeka ukusebenzisa insimbi ephonswe esitovini sokungenisa. Amapani anzima akufanele abangele imifantu noma imihuzuko (imihuzuko engaphezulu akufanele ithinte ukusebenza) ngaphandle kokuthi uwawise noma uwahudule.
Abakhiqizi bavame ukubeka amanani ezitofu zokungenisa eziklanywe kahle, kusho uHope, futhi-ke, yilokho abathengisi abafuna ukukukhombisa kona. Nakuba izitofu zokungenisa eziphezulu zingabiza kabili noma ngaphezulu kunegesi efanayo noma izinketho zikagesi zendabuko, ungathola izitofu zokungenisa ezingaphansi kuka-$1,000 ezingeni lokuqala, okuzibeka zihambisane nezinye izinhlobo.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, uMthetho Wokunciphisa Ukwehla Kwamanani Ezinto unikeza imali ezifundazweni ukuze abathengi bakwazi ukufaka izicelo zokwehliswa kwentela ezintweni zasekhaya, kanye nesinxephezelo esengeziwe sokushintsha kusuka kugesi wemvelo kuya kugesi. (Amanani azohluka ngokuya ngendawo kanye nezinga lemali engenayo.)
UHope uthi nakuba ukungenisa amandla kusebenzisa amandla ngendlela ephumelela kakhulu kunegesi endala noma ugesi ngoba ukudluliselwa kwamandla ngqo kusho ukuthi akukho ukushisa okudluliselwa emoyeni, gcina ukulindela kwakho kwebhili yamandla kuphansi. Ungase ubone ukonga okuncane, kodwa akuyona into enkulu, ikakhulukazi njengoba izinto zasekhishini zibiza cishe amaphesenti amabili okusetshenziswa kwamandla ekhaya, kusho yena.
Ukuhlanza i-induction cooktop kulula ngoba azikho izitsha ezisuswayo noma izitofu zokuhlanza ngaphansi noma ezizungezile, futhi ukudla cishe akukwazi ukusha ngenxa yokushisa okupholile kwe-cooktop, kusho uLisa Mike, umhleli omkhulu walo magazini i-America's Test Kitchen Review. UManas ukufingqa kahle. Uma ufuna ngempela ukufaka okuthile ku-ceramics, ungapheka ngisho nangama-parchment noma ama-silicone pads ngaphansi kwezitsha. Qiniseka ukuthi uhlola imiyalelo ethile yomenzi, kodwa insipho yezitsha, i-baking soda, kanye neviniga ngokuvamile kuphephile ukuzisebenzisa, njengoba kunjalo nangezinto zokuhlanza i-cooktop ezenzelwe izindawo ze-ceramic.
