Are you accustomed to the taste and aroma of natural custard coffee cooked in your favorite Turk? But the ill luck, with the purchase of a new induction cooker, it turns out that it will not be able to make coffee in it, because it does not get warm. How to be, in fact to not pass only for this reason on instant coffee? Do not be discouraged, everything is formed, you just need a special Turk for the induction cooker, which will be discussed in this article.
Why does not an ordinary Turk get warm?
Did you pay attention to the fact that you can put your hand on the included induction plate and not burn yourself at the same time? It's all about the principle of induction heating, because only those objects that can be affected by the powerful magnetic field of the plate will be heated. At coffee makers for an induction plate, as a rule, very thick and wide bottom. Even if your old proven coffee maker is metal, and its bottom has the right thickness, it still can not heat up for one simple reason. Most induction cookers are "smart", that is, they are able to recognize the size of the object that is on the burner. Despite the fact that their manufacturers are rushing to assure their customers that even an eight centimeter diameter item will be recognized by the device, in reality it is completely different. The size of the bottom of the coffee maker for the induction furnace should occupy more than 70% of the area of the appliance burner. Only then does it recognize it as dishes, turn on heating. Well, of course, if your old Turk is not magnetized (copper, ceramics), then the plate will not be able to heat in any case.
Choose a Turk
There are only two types of coffee machines for such a plate. The first is the so-called geyser coffee maker, and the second is the usual Turks . Let's analyze what qualities a geyser coffee maker should have for an induction cooker. Let's start right away with the most basic - the size and thickness of the bottom of the dishes. It is desirable that the diameter of its bottom is at least 12-15 centimeters, so that a magnet sticks to it firmly. Why is it important? The larger the surface, the faster it will heat up the magnetic field, and the more the magnet clings to it, the more intense it will be on the subject to act. Why take a magnet? Everything is simple, manufacturers often point to packaging that the bottom of the dishes is ferromagnetic, and the magnet leaning against it simply slips. Most likely, such utensils will not even be recognized by your stove, and, therefore, the heating will not turn on. Now let's talk a little about the second option - the Turk for the induction cooker. Here everything is much easier, you will be able to weld coffee even in a copper or clay turkey, for an induction cooker the material will not be an obstacle if you purchase an adapter. It is an ordinary metal disc that is placed on the burner. The plate recognizes it as a dish and heats it, but the Turk is already put on it, at least clay, at least copper. But there are other variants of the Turks, they do not require an adapter. Their bottom has a diameter of more than 12 centimeters, and from the top they are narrowed to reduce heat loss when cooking coffee. Here are some useful tips for those who want to choose a "right" Turk for an induction cooker.
- In small Turks, the drink is more aromatic and has a more intense taste than in large ones, but most likely for such models an adapter will be needed.
- If you choose a Turk without an adapter (with a ferromagnetic bottom), then you should not buy models with a bottom less than 12 centimeters in diameter.
- The thickness of the bottom should be at least six to eight millimeters.
We hope that acquaintance with this material will help you to re-enjoy your favorite taste of custard coffee, prepared on an induction cooker.
