CookTek Induction Cooktops: What You Need To Know
CookTek's induction equipment aims to increase efficiency in multiple aspects of the foodservice industry: cooking, serving, and delivery. Whether your operation needs a solution for back-of-house cooking, holding at a cafeteria or buffet, or hot food delivery, there is equipment to meet your needs.
The CookTek pizza thermal delivery system and the ThermaCube™ system use induction-ready bags that stay warm and vent humidity. Operators place these bags on a countertop charging system before deliveries to heat a special disk or pellet tray, respectively, located in the bottom of the bag.
Hot food wells and CookTek drop-in induction units hold food at temperature in hotel pans or cookware and work well for cafeteria-style service or self-service. CookTek kettles use induction to hold and rethermalize soups, gravies, and sauces without using water.
Countertop CookTek induction ranges and single-burner cooktops offer an alternative to gas and electric stovetop cooking. Choose from models with as many as six individually controlled burners and specialized models designed for use with certain cookware, such as woks.
Common Questions About CookTek
How do CookTek induction cooktops work?
Unlike conduction, induction cooking transfers heat to a vessel instantly through an electrical current. Benefits of this method include even, quick heating and energy savings. One drawback is cookware must be induction ready – made of ferrous material – to be used on an induction cooktop. Induction cooktops generally require a greater initial investment than gas or electric burners but can offer savings in the long run.
What kind of pots can I use on a CookTek induction range?
Because induction cooking uses magnetism to spread heat instantly to a pan, it requires certain types of cookware. Cookware must be flat and contain a high level of ferrous metal. Magnetic-grade stainless steel and any cast iron cookware work with induction, while aluminum and copper cookware don't. You can test whether your cookware is compatible with induction by placing a magnet at the base. If the magnet holds to the cookware, it is ready for use with induction.
Are induction cooktops safe?
Induction offers even heating and control without the potential safety hazard that comes with gas lines. Heating occurs when an electromagnetic current passes into a pan, so no heat comes off the cooktop, as with electric burners, which could also pose a fire risk. CookTek offers an additional safety feature that prevents current transfer to small items such as silverware.
Do CookTek drop-in wells use water?
Drop-in induction wells offer waterless hot holding of food pans. This format is perfect for buffets or keeping food ready for service. Unlike water-based holding solutions, induction wells don't further cook prepared food, reducing waste.
