Induction cooker is far more dangerous than gas cooker. Oh wait, both also dangerous. TS, just use charcoal and fire, far more safer and save gas n electricity.

Induction cooker uses electricity, the inside parts are made of coils and electronic parts. There have been many cases fire explosion form induction cooker. I use to work in Philips before, a lot of induction cooker comes for repair, some even burned, some exploded. Just my 2 cents. Use on ur own risk. Those induction cooker is just crap as i know whats the contains. Avoid it, just use gas. Thats more safer.

Pakai tong gas jer lah bro, lagi selamat. Jarang ader kes tong gas meletup kat rumah, lain lah kalau u letak kuali masak atas tong gas dan masak atas tong gas

If u all still insist to buy induction cooker, i would not suggest Philips as its a piece of crap. Try Elba or some premium brands.

This is how an induction cooker looks like inside. Basically its just a coil with 2 boards inside. The coil is the culprit for burning usually. The coil will be heated up with 240V, similar like an iron, toaster, heater etc. The coil will heat up and heat the glass panel on top and the glass panel will boil the pan. It heats up pretty fast because of the electricity that flows throughout the coil and passes thru the glass panel. Theres a zener diode on top of the coil. The function of the diode is to detect the pan on top of the glass. With induction cooker, u cant use any normal pots, it has to be stainless steel pot only. If u use any other pot, the zener diode wont detect it and the induction cooker wont work either. Thats the knowledge i know about induction cooker

Electrolux, Elba, Zanussi are premium brands, quite safe and long lasting.

The heat comes from the coil lah bro The coil is which heats up and heats up the glass panel. Ive been repairing the same shitty induction cooker for so long in Philips last time There i knew that its a shit product, i mean the brand. Other brands ive heard less complaints.

After cooking, try putting ur hand on top of the glass panel N also at the bottom, ull see how cold it is

Maybe philips design is diff lols

Hahahaha, the magnetic part yes i agree. That fires up the pot to get heated. But the glass will still be hot after cooking.

Somehow, i would say cooking using charcoal provides the best taste to the food ure cooking. Nothing beats it. Just go classic cooking larrrr

Waaa many induction cooking peeps here. No more gas eh? BTW, how about the health rate for induction cooking?

luls, i knew Philips products are crap, one day itself about 30 to 40 induction cooker will come in, half the sets internally burned, cosmetic damage, glass broken, exploded, burnt to the max etc. Health wise im not sure as i haven't cooked anything to eat on this induction cooker as in my house we still use gas I'm not sure about other brands and the quality of it.
