An induction cooker is a type of cooking appliance that uses electromagnetic energy to heat pots and pans directly. Unlike traditional stoves that heat the cooking surface, induction cookers create a magnetic field that generates heat in the cookware itself, making cooking faster and more energy-efficient. These cookers require compatible cookware, typically made of ferrous metal, such as cast iron or stainless steel. Induction cookers are known for their precise temperature control and safety features, as they remain cool to the touch when not in contact with cookware, reducing the risk of burns.
