Induction
Patented stainless steel double bottom
Pensofal® has always looked toward the future and emerging market trends, making innovation its core philosophy.
The company has always been committed to intensive research and development in order to offer consumers products that come as close as possible to perfection. The result of this ongoing effort is a series of patented new products, coatings, and technologies under the Pensofal® brand. The crown jewel of Pensofal®’s technological innovation is the forged, deformation-resistant stainless steel double bottom, suitable for all cooktops, including induction.
In 1991, Pensofal® patented a double-bottom system for INDUCTION consisting of the attachment of a stainless steel plate to the aluminum base using conical points, creating a riveted connection. These points penetrate the aluminum base, enabling the transmission of both electromagnetic and natural heat directly inside the product.
This technology combines the advantages of aluminum with those of stainless steel, ensuring outstanding performance in terms of: energy savings, superior heat retention, deformation resistance, and anti-slip safety.
In 2013, as part of continuous technological improvement, Pensofal® further enhanced the induction base by making the stainless steel plate more compact and uniform, increasing its surface contact with the cooktop and boosting overall performance.
Evolution of the induction base
Advantages of induction cooktops
1. It is very easy to clean
2. Since it runs on electricity, there are no gas-related risks (such as asphyxiation or explosions due to leaks)
3. Being a perfectly flat surface, there is no risk of cookware tipping over
4. Instant response times when adjusting heat intensity
5. Cooking zones automatically detect cookware and activate only when a pot with a magnetic (ferrous) base is present
6. The glass-ceramic surface is heated only by the cookware itself, so its operating temperature is much lower than radiant or halogen cooktops
7. Lower electricity consumption compared to radiant or halogen cooktops
8. The glass-ceramic area surrounding the cooking zone remains cool, reducing the risk of burns
9. Significantly reduced heating times, even compared to gas cooktops
10. No open flame11. No more clogged burners, as can happen with gas stoves
12. Even, consistent cooking
