There is already an acute shortage of LPG cylinders in various states of India. Cooking gas is rare. And the demand of induction oven is increasing by leaps and bounds. This type of oven is easy to use. Many people who cook as a couple in messbari or rented house, blindly trust induction.

But when it comes to cooking three meals a day for the whole family, there is one more thing to keep in mind. That is the power consumption. Many times the householder uses this device inadvertently, which directly affects the electric meter of the house. A few strategies can be adopted to prevent unnecessary power wastage.

1. Many people think that an induction oven cannot be used without pre-heating. This is not correct. Induction heats up quickly. So don’t pre-heat unless absolutely necessary. Set the temperature according to what you want to cook. And by the way, you have to cook food to your heart’s content!

2. Do you know, how much electricity is consumed by induction, depends on the cooking pot! Yes, special cookware is available for induction ovens, which are slightly different from normal cookware. Such vessels have a magnetic base on the smooth bottom. The pots are made of stainless steel or cast iron. Food can be prepared quickly, so induction does not have to be continued for a long time.

3. Keep the pan covered in the oven as much as possible during cooking. It cooks the food inside quickly. However, this is effective in all cases. Also choose the pot according to the size of the induction. If the pot is not the size of the oven, the power consumption increases. By saving a little each time, a lot of electricity can be saved in total.

4. If the induction oven remains unclean for a long time, it can also become a cause of power wastage. Oil-soot starts to build up on the oven cooktop, preventing heat from escaping. As a result it directly affects the inner parts.

5. Always switch off the induction oven after finishing the work. This device does not take much time to heat up or cool down. As a result, it is enough to switch on before starting cooking. When the mains switch is on, it may not seem like it but can cause power wastage.
