DESC: Cooking technology in your kitchen with the 50922 Circulon Induction Burner. Marvel your friends and guests with dishes prepared using the most even and consistent source of heat available — your own pans. Induction cooking makes it happen. Induction cooking uses electromagnetic energy to turn a pan into the heat source. Instead of heating the area under a pan like a traditional gas or electric burner, induction cooktops heat the pan directly. Oscillating induction coils are set underneath the ceramic glass cooktop. The coils are connected to an electronic power source that when activated generate a magnetic field. When a pan with a magnetized base is placed on the burner, the oscillating magnetic field causes the electrons in the bottom of the pan to move back and forth rapidly. This movement results in the pan getting hot enough to cook food. The pan itself has become the heat source
