Turk for induction cooker Gipfel, Tima: reviews

If you trace the evolution of kitchen appliances for cooking, you can make a list of such appliances: kerosene, primus, gas and electric stoves, multivark, induction cooker. All of them are now widely used in culinary business at home, in the country, in a hike or fishing.

What is common between coffee and induction?

Whoever does not drink this wonderful natural drink is not at all interested in the recipes and methods of its preparation, neither taste nor aroma, nor the answer to the question of whether a special Turk is needed for an induction cooker. But for coffee lovers the lack of special dishes is a whole problem.

The familiar and familiar jezva model has a wide base and a narrow neck. In the vessel of this form, both the flavor of the drink and the taste are preserved. In the small throat of the Turks, during cooking, a foam is collected, which prevents the evaporation of the essential oils present in the ground coffee beans. That's why the most delicious drink is obtained only when cooking in a small, one or two servings, dzhezve. Remarkably proven itself made of copper Turk Tima. For an induction cooker, however, only dishes suitable for use with a conventional magnet are suitable.

As it turned out, the coffee cup for an induction cooker familiar to all coffee makers is not suitable, since it has other sizes (less than 12 centimeters). "Smart" stove simply does not turn on when on its burners there is a vascular with a small bottom.

What to do, how to be? What is the reason that not in any dishes, pots or frying pan can be cooked on this kitchen appliance?

Features of induction cookers, or a small digression into physics

The fact is that in the usual housewives the heaters use fire and electric energy, which are converted into heat. When the gas is burning, then the water is boiling.

In induction devices, everything is exactly the opposite: heat does not arise in the plate, but in the substance of the bottom of the container when it comes into contact with the surface of the device. Under the glass coating are coils of copper wire. These places are the centers of the burners. Under the influence of electric current in these coils there is accumulation of heat. When dishes are placed on the cooking zone, magnetic fields form between its bottom and copper. The eddy currents, acting on the bottom of the vessel, heat it together with the contents.

For safety reasons, manufacturers make the center of the working surface 12 cm in diameter. This is the reason why the Turk for the induction cooker must have a bottom of a larger size. Otherwise, the vessel is simply not recognized by the magnetic field, and no heating occurs.

Crockery with ferromagnetic bottom and turka for induction cooker

User reviews are always different, sometimes contradictory. However, after studying them, it becomes clear that one of the important criteria in choosing a jezva is the material from which it is made. Used such as:

• Copper and steel;
• Enameled iron and ceramics;
• Aluminum and heat-resistant glass.

The main feature of all cookware for such boards is the presence of an even and thick ferromagnetic bottom. By the way, cast-iron frying pans and bowls are quite suitable for this modern cooking oven.

Long or short, wooden or bakelite?

Since there is no open fire with such heating, the material of the handles for the coffee pot does not matter and can even be wooden. And the handles of modern models are much shorter and more comfortable than before.

The metallic Turk for Gipfel induction cooker is covered with colorful colored enamel. All models are provided with bakelite handles. The firmware of this company has the dimensions of the bottom suitable for these heaters.

Manufacturers slightly changed the overall design and traditional shape of the vessel, increased the diameter of the neck and overall dimensions. But in such a Turk you can quickly make coffee for breakfast.

Adapter for induction: what is it and why is it needed

The most delicious coffee can be cooked in a ceramic dzhezve. This is a traditional dish for a wonderful drink, which preserves the aroma and all the tastes. However, the induction plate recognizes only materials with magnetic properties that neither glass, nor copper, nor ceramics, nor aluminum possesses. Thanks to modern technologies it became possible to correct this problem using ferromagnetic alloys for bottoms of special dishes. Glass and clay do not belong to such materials, the Turk for the induction plate must be different.

To solve the problem of how to use ordinary pots on such a stove, came up with an adapter. In simple terms, this disc is an intermediary of a certain size, which is put on the surface of the plate, and already placed on it utensils of any material. The diameter of this circle depends on the size of the burner for which it is intended. Manufacturers produce three standard versions: 17 cm, 21 cm and 22 cm. The adapter has three supports, which in no way affects the safety of the main glass surface. The cost of a disc depends on its size.

The plate burner recognizes this device, it is heated, the heat is transferred to a teapot standing on it, a saucepan or a glass. Thanks to this "intermediary", the induction heater works like a conventional electric hotplate and gives heat to any top item.

Some useful tips

In order for the cooker to turn on only when it is necessary, do not put in the center of its burners random metal objects (knives, spoons, potato peelers). But pots, pans and a Turk for an induction cooker should be placed directly in the center. Then the device operates in normal mode, and the content is heated evenly.

Since nothing burns on this superplate, the working surface is cleaned using special napkins.

The bottom of the frying pan must be perfectly even, otherwise the generated waves will cause sound vibrations.
