CrownStar Infrared Electric Stove: Overview
The CrownStar Infrared Electric Stove is a plug-in cooker that heats with an infrared heating element instead of a gas flame. You place a pot on top and cook, so it is useful in places without gas, as a second cooker, for hostels, offices and small kitchens, or when you want a clean, flame-free hob.
Features and Benefits
An infrared stove heats quickly and gives you a flat, easy-to-clean cooking surface with no open flame. Unlike an induction cooker, an infrared stove generally heats with a radiant element, so it is not limited to magnetic pots, although a flat-bottomed pot gives the best contact. Infrared stoves commonly use around 2000W, which can be heavy on an inverter. The name does not state the power rating, the number of cooking zones or the temperature controls, so ask Vsonic for the wattage, the controls and whether the top is glass or ceramic.
Using and Caring for It
Place the stove on a flat, heat-safe surface and keep flammable items away. Use flat-bottomed pots that cover the cooking zone and are not wider than the stove. Never put an empty pot on the stove, and remember that the surface stays hot for a while after you switch off. Let it cool completely before wiping it with a damp cloth, and avoid dragging pots across the surface, which can scratch it. Do not use the stove if the surface is cracked, and never put it in water.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is infrared different from induction?
An infrared stove heats with a radiant element and works with most flat-bottomed pots. An induction cooker needs magnetic cookware.
