Controlinduc^®: no more overheating!

Frying is always done at a temperature between 170°C/335°F and 230°C/450°F. Beyond 250°C/485°F, butter and oil overheat and the food starts to be carbonized. To avoid these risks, Demeyere produced the first pans and woks equipped with ControlInduc, a safety system that limits the maximum temperature to 250°C/485°F on induction cookers.

Until about 220°C/425°F, a product equipped with ControlInduc heats normally as all the other pans, but above this temperature the power of the inductors progressively diminishes and stabilizes between 245°C/475°F and 250°C/485°F. When, for example, one puts cold or raw food in the pan, such as a piece of meat or some pancake dough, the pan re-cools and the power of the inductor automatically augments without the intervention of the user. And even if one forgets a pan during its time on the induction plate it does not overheat.

A plate heated at induction needs magnetic material in the base of the recipient to create heat. Without this magnetic material (for example in case of copper, aluminium), the recipient placed on the inductor does not heat up. The material that Demeyere uses in the external layer of the ControlInduc products possesses some very special properties. It acts like a single superalloy which keeps its magnetism until 250°C/485°F. Beyond this temperature, this material loses its magnetic properties and demands the induction plate to diminish its power. When one puts cold food in the pan the temperature of the pan base lowers and the magnetism returns. As a consequence, the power of the induction plate goes up again. The used material never loses its exceptional properties even after years of use.
