Tips for choosing the Turks for induction cookers

When changing kitchen appliances, lovers of the classical approach to making coffee can face a very unusual problem. Induction plates, replacing traditional electric equipment, are adapted only for the use of cookware, the bottom of which has ferromagnetic properties. Are ordinary Turks suitable for induction cookers? Can you continue to brew coffee in the traditional way even after installing the innovative hob? Which jazz suit for induction?

To understand all these issues is worth it if the stove is already purchased, and when such an acquisition is only planned. In some cases, it will be necessary to revise the parameters of the usual capacity for brewing coffee or find a replacement for it. In any case, it is worthwhile to think in advance about your own comfort, so as not to be left without a favorite beverage after installing the induction panel.

Induction cookers are a relatively new solution that allows you to heat up the dishes without heating up the surface of the burner itself. The interaction with the bottom of the pan, frying pan, kettle or other object occurs by means of the formation of a magnetic field, where electric current is created. The coil, located under the protective screen of tempered glass or glass-ceramic, acts as a transducer.

In the process of induction, there is an acceleration of particles - electrons, leading to the release of large amounts of thermal energy. The objects on the stove heat up, boiling, evaporation and all other processes that accompany cooking are taking place. For successful use of dishes, the alloy from which it is made must contain ferromagnetic particles. In addition, the plate responds only to objects of sufficient size.

Coffee is a special drink that requires gradual and slow heating in the brewing process. Not all plates are ready to work in this mode. Induction heating mode uses pulsed current supply, which creates conditions for accelerated heating of liquids. To avoid problems, you should pay attention to special ferromagnetic discs placed on the panel and allow you to adapt the size of even a small Turks to any type of burners. Thanks to the additional layer, you can not worry about overheating the drink inside - the heat will be distributed more evenly.

If there is no adapter, you can cope without it. To do this, the pots will have to lift above the hob at the moment when the coffee starts to rise. Holding it at a height of about 0.5 mm will have to wait for the foam to fall off. It is worth adding that the level of heat corresponding to the heating is set in the range from 1 to 4 divisions on the control panel.

Induction plates are focused on several modes of operation. When the power is not more than 50%, heating occurs in a pulsed mode, as during heating, that is, the current under the bottom is not always present. Properly brewed coffee in such conditions is impossible - the taste of the drink is fully revealed only with a uniform and smooth increase in temperature. It is provided in induction plates at a power of 70-80%.

What to do if with strong heating foam starts to strive beyond the Turks? Of course, you can temporarily remove the container from the fire. But it would be much easier to simply change the power of the plate, reducing it to the level of 50%. With such indicators, the first foam will fall off, it will be necessary to wait for its second increase. After that, the Turk is removed from the stove, left for 30 seconds to completely saturate the taste and aroma of ground beans of roasted coffee, essential oils in such a short time to evaporate also do not have time.

What jazz will allow you to make a delicious and invigorating coffee on an induction stove? To determine the suitability of the Turks, it is enough to attach a magnet to its bottom. If the metal is attracted - dishes suitable for induction. In other cases, for coffee will have to buy a new Cezve. Not exactly suitable for use in combination with induction hobs:

• copper Turk - it does not possess the necessary properties;
• ceramic - for the non-metallic cookware, new generation plates are not adapted;
• Aluminum - strictly speaking, this metal has paramagnetic properties, but they are not enough to create a field.

But you can not deny yourself the pleasure of using the usual dishes, including clay and ceramic Turks. It is enough to stock up on the adapter of the desired diameter of the ferromagnetic alloy. As a rule, on a four-burner panel, it corresponds to a heating field with a diameter of 12-14 cm.

If you decide to purchase a special Turk for an induction cooker, you should take into account a number of very important points, allowing you to conveniently use the dishes in everyday life. Coffee pot should be:

• equipped with a safe handle for convenient and quick lifting of the tank from the panel;
• volume from 150 to 500 ml;
• with a bottom diameter of about 12 cm, but not less than 8 cm, otherwise heating will not occur.

Of course, the ability to brew a flavored drink without any conventions and adapters looks quite attractive. But there are some subtleties here. So, solid steel models are mainly sold with non-stick coating or stainless steel. This option affects the taste properties not too positively. In addition, because of its features, steel is poorly suited to create the right dzhezv with a narrow neck.

The wide neck does not allow the formation of the correct foam that prevents the evaporation of essential oils. As a result, the taste properties of the drink are far from ideal. In addition, from steel containers coffee runs away much faster and more often. Copper Turk with a thick steel bottom can be a compromise solution.

Among the brands that produce special dishes for induction cookers, there are those that provide the possibility of cooking coffee on modern panels. In this case, individual versions of a jazz or whole sets are made of multilayer ferromagnetic alloys or ordinary steel. Among the market leaders can be noted such brands.

1. Tima. Despite some complaints, this company is the only one that takes into account the features of the drink. Her Turks are made of copper, but supplemented with a ferromagnetic bottom. The choice of models and volumes is small, but the cezve has the correct shape that preserves the taste of coffee.
2. Gipfel. The company is quite famous, in its arsenal there are polished steel cezves with a wide neck. The range of volumes is 350 and 500 ml; it is simply impractical to acquire large sizes.
3. Errigen. A company that takes care of the ergonomics of dishes, which has a comfortable handle. Otherwise, these are classic stainless steel turks with a wide neck.
4. Korkmaz. The manufacturer produces kits containing both a miniature version of a 20 ml cezve and larger versions of 300 and 400 ml.

It should immediately say that the Turks for coffee, created specifically for induction stoves, and adapter discs are very expensive. But there is one important nuance: once you have selected a pad on the stove, you can use it with different types of coffee makers. Favorite dzhezvu or collected collection does not have to translate into the category of decorative objects in the interior. Dishes will continue to serve its owner by purpose and allow the use of traditional coffee recipes.

Besides, adapters have another advantage - you can combine non-metallic versions of the Turks with them, including ceramic, allowing to fully reveal the entire taste range of the drink.

For beginners in the preparation of coffee on an induction stove, a copper Turk with a high narrow neck can be the best choice;
