Life hacks for a housewife!
Once our grandmothers did not think about how and in what to make jam. Each in the pantry had a couple of bowls for cooking yummy for tea for the winter, and they have been used for many, many years. But modern housewives look with skepticism at the notorious pots and basins, familiar stoves and prefer to equip the kitchen with the latest technology. So induction and glass-ceramic cookers appeared in houses. What kind of devices are these, how do they work and what kind of dishes are required to, for example, make jam !? Understanding!
Cooking on an induction hob
First, let’s find out how it works. In simple terms, such a stove works due to electromagnetic induction. The magnetic field creates the current required for heating. But only on condition of contact with special dishes. That is, if you put your hand on the burner, nothing happens, since the magnetic field ceases to exist. By the way, about the burners. They are only conditional! Because in induction cookers, heat is transferred to the dishes and the food in them, and not to the stove and hob. They remain cold, which is very popular with parents who have small ubiquitous children in their families.
And now about the dishes for the jam!

Cooking on a glass-ceramic stove
It is a beautiful glossy surface that is extremely easy to damage. That is why, when choosing dishes, you should take into account its bottom: check if there are chips and defects on it that can scratch the glass-ceramic panels.
During cooking on such a stove, the entire surface of the burner is heated. Therefore, it is strictly forbidden to use cookware made of soft materials such as copper and aluminum. For a glass-ceramic hob, dishes with ferromagnetic properties, as well as stainless steel, are suitable.
For making jam, pots and pans made of glass and ceramics are suitable.
An important condition for their use: the bottom of the cookware should be, plus or minus, the same diameter as the size of the burner. The second nuance: the bottom must be flat so that it is in full contact with the heating surface.
