How to choose a Turk for an induction cooker

Purchasing cookware for an induction cooker is quite simple. Sometimes, when purchasing this new induction kitchen equipment, the trade organization gives a gift: a set of necessary items, the characteristics of which fully correspond to the specified parameters.

Turk

If a supporter of new technologies has to independently choose pots and pans in a store, he just needs to look at the special icon on the bottom or packaging of the product. Under the symbol in the form of a wave there is most often an inscription: “induction”.

In short, cookware must be magnetic. This means that most enameled steel pans that every housewife has are suitable for an induction panel.

REFERENCE! A few aluminum and copper ones will be retired.

But the classic coffee pot causes difficulties when purchasing it for a new stove. The fact is that not only ceramic, aluminum, and copper coffee pots are not suitable for an induction panel. Even those coffee pots that are made of a ferromagnetic alloy (similar to other items in the enamel set, sold as “induction”) may not be “read” by new equipment.She does not perceive them, showing on the indicator that the hob is empty. The problem is not only the material, but also the size of the bottom.

What kind of Turk should be for an induction cooker?

The Turk for an induction hob must meet the requirements of heating technology. Ferromagnetic alloys and steel will come into contact with the work surface. And the corresponding bottom diameter is also necessary for the burner to respond to the container placed on it. The technological processes on which the operation of the stove is based conflict with the classic scheme for preparing Turkish coffee

The hob heats pans using induction. It is in the place where the container comes into contact with the surface that electromagnetic interaction and thermal effect occur. The rest of the coating remains inoperative. If the bottom size is large, then you can use two burners as one, in a common temperature regime.

The stove is very convenient:

• Heats up quickly and cools down too.
• It turns itself off if there are no dishes on it.
• The glass surface is easy to clean.
• Manufacturers themselves advise using its cold surface as a stand.

In small kitchens, an additional flat surface is a serious plus. Aesthetic and performance qualities make such a device very popular.

NOTE! Most cooking items are quite compatible with it, and the production of cookware for induction cookers is fully debugged. Perhaps only the Turk remains the weak point of this kitchen equipment.

Subtleties of making Turkish coffee

Following the peculiarities of preparing coffee in the traditional way in a cezve is not entirely convenient for owners of induction devices.It is not only the inability to use ideal ceramic Turks that causes criticism. The big problem is the pulsed nature of the heating of the burner. There is no smooth temperature at small degrees (from one to four).

Uniform or gradually increasing heating is the most important indicator for preparing a quality drink. There are few coffee lovers who follow the advice to raise the coffee pot above the surface of such a stove to heat the drink evenly.

Turks made specifically for induction heating are not always popular due to their unconventional shape. The classic cezve has a narrow neck. It is responsible for the formation of foam and aroma, without which coffee does not seem so tasty.

The nuances of choosing a Turk for an induction cooker

It's not just ceramic or copper coffee pots that have problems. Even those Turks that contain ferromagnetic alloys may not be suitable. They often have a bottom diameter that is too small. In order for the burner to heat up, the container placed on it must be no less than the value specified by the manufacturer. Due to the small volumes, the stove “does not notice” the coffee makers, which are taken from a set of pans quite suitable for an induction stove. If they are 8-12 cm, these are already critical indicators of the bottom diameter for the technology that is fashionable these days.

Special adapter disks solve this problem. The disc itself heats up and transfers heat to the coffee container.

REFERENCE! With such an additional device, all other coffee pots, made of any material, will work.

Another significant plus: the ferromagnetic disk makes it possible to use Turks with a narrow neck.This plays an important role for gourmets: preparing coffee with foam and its aroma requires a classic cezve shape.

How to choose the right Turk

There are several manufacturers that produce modern coffee makers for induction panels. They are made of steel and differ in shape, design and volume. But you need to be prepared for the fact that the stove will react to the Turk of a well-known brand with whims, sometimes noticing it, sometimes not noticing it.

A steel cezve is an ideal option for an induction panel. An enameled steel pot is also suitable, provided that it does not have a too narrow bottom. When using the adapter disk, the problem of choosing a coffee pot is eliminated by itself. The Turk will no longer be in direct contact with the stove. This effect is also achieved by heating the Turks in sand placed in a frying pan.
