When using an fry pan with induction, improper operation may indeed result in a burnt bottom. Here are some possible reasons for frying pan bottoming and suggestions to prevent bottoming:
Common causes of bottom sticking:
Excessive temperature: An induction cooker can heat up very quickly. If the temperature is set too high, food is prone to burning in a short period of time, resulting in a burnt bottom.
Preheating time is too long: Preheating an empty pot for a long time may cause the bottom of the pot to overheat, and when ingredients are added, they will quickly burn.
Insufficient oil: Insufficient oil can cause ingredients to come into direct contact with the high-temperature bottom of the pot, making it easy to burn.
Low moisture content of ingredients: Ingredients with low moisture content are more prone to sticking to the bottom, especially when cooked at high temperatures.
Inadequate stirring: Food ingredients that stay at the bottom of a high-temperature pot for a long time, without timely flipping or stirring, are prone to sticking to the bottom.
Suggestions to prevent bottom sticking:
Temperature control: Adjust the temperature of the induction cooker appropriately according to the ingredients and cooking needs. Usually, medium to low temperature cooking can effectively prevent bottom sticking.
Proper preheating: Preheat the frying pan for a short period of time to avoid prolonged empty heating. Usually, preheating for 1-2 minutes is sufficient.
Use appropriate amount of oil: Before cooking, add an appropriate amount of oil to the pot and ensure that the oil evenly covers the bottom of the pot, which helps prevent ingredients from sticking to the pot and sticking to the bottom.
Timely flipping of ingredients: During the cooking process, regularly flip or stir the ingredients to ensure they are evenly heated and prevent prolonged exposure to high temperatures in the bottom of the pot.
Choose appropriate ingredients and cooking methods: Some ingredients are prone to bottoming out, such as those with high sugar content. When cooking, you can choose suitable cooking methods, such as stewing or steaming, to reduce the risk of bottom sticking.
Use non stick coating frying pan: If there are frequent issues with bottom sticking, you can choose a frying pan with a non stick coating, which can effectively prevent ingredients from sticking to the pan and bottom sticking.
