Induction cooking works with electricity, which means a small magnetic current causes friction within the pot and generates heat. The magnetic field induces an electric current into the base of the cooking pot and then heats the food or liquid inside.cookbooks for instant pot

Induction is an efficient way to bring heat to the food source because all energy is consumed directly to the pot’s base, and no heat escapes. However, you need to choose the right pressure cooker for induction hob to get started. Once you have the best cookware, here are the next things to do. 

Efficient Ways to Pressure Cook on Induction

  • Do Not Preheat The Cooker – Do you prefer preheating the pressure cooker’s base on low flame while slicing your onions or peeling garlic? If yes, you need to change this habit when cooking on an induction hob. Otherwise, you may burn the oil or char the food. The cooking surface gets hot and ready to sauté in 15 seconds in an induction hob, so you do not need to preheat the cooker.
  • Avoid Using a Pressure Cooker on High Heat – A cooker reaches high pressure in about four minutes. If you add any sauces, they get carbonized, and bond to the cooker’s base, or the food remains uncooked. Let your pressure cooker reach the right pressure without excessive heating. 
  • Use Medium Heat – An induction pressure cooker works best on medium heat or after a few minutes of cooking time.
  • Don’t Forget To Adjust The Heat – The sides of the pressure cooker remain at a lower temperature than the card base. Don’t walk away from the cooker once the heat is lowered, as it may cause internal pressure to fall quickly. Make sure you adjust the heat for the first five minutes.
  • Use The Induction Timer Feature – Setting up the pressure-cooking timer helps as the burner turns off automatically when the time’s up.

How to Decide on Your Induction Cooker Shopping

Before buying a pressure cooker, check all pressure cooker reviews from Australia. Here are a few things to keep in mind when you decide to buy a pressure cooker for the induction hob.

The pressure cooker must have a layered base to activate the electromagnetic system. This layer greatly improves the speed and effectiveness of distributing the heat evenly.

Then, make sure that the safety valves are intact, usually in the form of a button on the handle. As the pressure rises, these directional valves help safely release the steam without disrupting your cooking.

Next, make sure that the pressure cooker has safety lock mechanisms. The lid should be securely locked. An automatic sensor may detect misaligned parts.

Finally, pressure cookers should be made of high-quality metals such as stainless steel or aluminum – both types are compatible with an induction hob to maximize cooking efficiency.

Choices and Accessories 

Many induction-based pressure cookers are available in the market. They are versatile in cooking modes and help in techniques such as making preserves or steaming food. You can create a lot of complex meals by using just one cooking pot. Hence, choose to buy it from the best brands offering high-end features.
