We all know that the induction cooker is one of the indispensable stove appliances in the kitchen, but what is the best panel for the induction cooker? Before understanding this problem, we need to have a general understanding of the panel material of the induction cooker, including its classification, material type and so on. Follow us to have a look.
Common induction cooker panel grades in the domestic market
Now we know that domestic induction cooker panels mainly include domestic A, B, and C three-level domestic ordinary panels, German Schott, and Japanese NEG three types of panels. The panels used in high-quality induction cooker products are domestic A-level panels, German Schott, and Japanese NEG, while B and C-level domestic ordinary panels are worse.
The German Schott panel is mainly made of black Celan glass-ceramic, with a smooth and delicate surface.
NEG in Japan is mainly made of ceramic panels, and the material is mainly made of pure white without sand holes.
Domestic A-level induction cooker panels are formed by ultra-high temperature one-time firing, with smooth edges and no cutting marks; domestic B-level induction cooker panels are not formed by one-time firing and need to be cut, so the edges are rough and can be touched by hand; domestic C-level induction cooker panels are generally printed with flowers, grass, insects, fish, etc. on the top plate, which turn yellow and change color quickly, which is the worst type of induction cooker.
Which panel is good for the induction cooker
Glass-ceramic panels: There are mainly two types of induction cooker panels on the market: ceramic panels and glass-ceramic panels. The vast majority of domestic induction cookers use domestic glass-ceramic panels, which are characterized by the fact that the surface is as bright as a mirror after being polished and polished, and it looks very luxurious. The surface of the imported glass-ceramic panel has not been processed by cutting and grinding, and most of them are matte, with more subtle printing and high strength.
Ceramic panels: In recent years, white ceramic panel induction cookers are rarely seen on the market. White panels are divided into two types: printed and non-printed. However, most of the induction cookers exported to Southeast Asia or the Japanese market in my country still use white ceramic plates. In fact, there is not much difference in quality between white ceramic panels and glass-ceramic panels. White ceramic panels are generally divided into two types: domestic and imported. The most representative is the white shallow plate ceramic panel of NEG in Japan, which is characterized by uniform glaze color on the surface, never fading, and the outer ring of the shallow plate is very smooth to the touch. Consumers who pursue quality can choose ceramic plates imported from abroad.
Black crystal board: At present, our most common induction cooker is the black crystal board. And the vast majority are domestic black crystal panels. The black crystal board is polished and polished like a black mirror. However, the surface of imported black crystal boards has not been processed by cutting and grinding, and most of them are matte. When consumers choose black crystal boards, they should pay attention to the following aspects: first of all, it depends on the printing. Complicated designs and colors are often some low-quality black crystal panels trying to cover up the flaws of the panel itself. We can swipe to see if the print is scratched off quickly. Next, check whether there are air holes or scratches on the surface of the panel. This should be observed carefully. The third step is whether the surface of the panel is smooth or not.
To sum up, if you have sufficient budget, you can choose the latest glass-ceramic panels, followed by imported black crystal panels and ceramic panels, and domestic panels again. As far as domestic panels are concerned, it is best to use products from well-known manufacturers.
