lappir Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 Tried something new today and it seems to be working out fine. Has anyone else cooked directly in the "Steel Can" on your induction hot plate? I had a friend who used to cook his "Beans" in the can on his Charcoal Grill all the time and I've used metal mixing bowls to heat water before. Making a can of "Campbells Chunky Clam Chowder" in the microwave and got the pop and splatter. Was heating a bit of water in the can to clean out the remaining soup and decided to take out most of the "Chunks" and finish heating them on the induction. Actually took less time than it would have in the Microwave.

The induction burner does not heat the can but the food inside it may.

I didn't fill it full so the portion above the food stays a lot cooler. I did use protection though. Might fashion a can clamp handle if I start doing it a lot.

That's backwards. Induction "burners" work by exciting the magnetic/ferrous atoms in the pan or container which then heats the food.

This is why I can turn off the burner a little early under my scrambled eggs and let the residual pan heat finish them off. I have to admit I had never considered heating things directly in the can though. I am going to have to try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Rob is correct with how the food is heated, the amazing part (to me) is that if there isn't liquid all the way to the rim that area does not get hot until after the container is removed from the burner, and then it doesn't get as hot as the lower portion where there is contact. At least that's my experience.

Rob If you don't believe it, Set a induction type pan on the stove without any food. Turn the heat on and walk away. My wife says the pan bottom was RED hot. The stove still works and the pan is useable with a blue bottom Quote Clay & Marcie Too old to play in the snow Diesel pusher and previously 2 FW and small Class C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou Schneider Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 21 hours ago, sandsys said: But it stops heating the second you remove it from the burner; after that it is the food that heats the container. A pan stops heating the second you remove it from ANY kind of burner. Gas, electric or induction. Induction heat is concentrated in the base of the pan because it's closest to the induction coil and has the greatest mass to react with the inductive forces. Plus the amount of transmitted energy falls off at the square of the distance. Elevate the base of the pan the same distance above the burner as the sides are when the pan is sitting flush and you'll get little or no heat generation.

Elevate the pan on our induction top and you get to hear annoying beeps and an error message flashing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can put a dish cloth or paper towel between and not get any beeps. Don't leave either there if I'm not right there watching, but it does make clean up of the splatters if you have any a bit more easy, especially if the cloth is damp.
