TAMPA, FL - (February 5, 2003) -Little has changed to improve
the Wok since the Mighty Kublai Khan and his invading army first
used their small round shields to prepare fast and easy meals
on the march. The very nature of Asian cooking has been shaped
by the Wok itself. In this ancient land of overpopulation and
limited fuel resources for cooking, the Wok evolved to prepare
meals using small quantities of flimsy, fast-burning fuel. This
round-bottomed utensil was designed to circulate heat quickly
and evenly while enabling its user to keep its contents in constant
motion, exposing the maximum amount of food surface to heat
in the shortest possible time. Today, in our world of overpopulation
and limited fuel resources, Küppersbusch, through the science
of magnetic induction technology, transforms the ancient Wok
into a 21st Century cooking machine.
The Induction Wok by Küppersbusch uses electromagnetic
energy to heat the wok itself, a faster, safer, cooler and more
efficient form of cooking. When the unit is turned on, the coils
produce a high frequency, alternating magnetic field, which
flows through the  cookware
quickly and evenly, stimulating the molecules in the cookware
to move back and forth rapidly, thus creating friction, which
creates heat to cook. Unlike traditional cooking surfaces that
heat up and stay hot long after the meal has been prepared,
the concaved black glass-ceramic surface of the Küppersbusch
Wok stays cool to the touch as is unaffected by the magnetic
field.
The Benefits of Induction Cooking:
- Because energy is directly transferred within the pan, induction cooking is
extremely fast …even faster than gas.
- Induction is much safer than gas or other electric cooking surfaces
since there is no open flame, red-hot coil or other radiant heat source to
burn or scorch if left unattended. No contact…No heat.
- With no grates or grease catch to worry about, clean up is a breeze.
Just use a damp cloth and wipe over the easy-to-clean surface.
- Almost no ambient heat is produced since all the heat is being generated
in the pan itself. This means a much cooler kitchen to work within.
- Induction wok is far more energy efficient than gas or traditional
electric woks. The induction wok delivers 90% of the energy that it uses to
the pan! Gas on the other hand delivers only 55% to the pan and traditional
electric about 65%. In addition, when you remove the pan from the induction-cooking
surface, the cooktop immediately goes into standby mode, which uses almost
no energy whatsoever.
- Unlike a gas burner or electrical stove, the induction cooktop is
incapable of producing heat on its own; only until a pan is placed on top
of it does it generate a magnetic field that excites the magnetic molecules
in the pan which creates instant, precise and very controllable heat.
The Induction Wok by Küppersbusch is an exclusive, advanced cooking system
with built-in simplicity for ease of use by either the amateur chef or consummate
gourmet. Award winning styling, Sensor touch controls, Child-Safety Lock,
Pan Detection and 9 power level settings are the benchmarks of Küppersbusch
technology and style.
