- the present invention relates to an induction heating cooker that detects the ferromagnetic properties of the vessel placed thereon.
- the induction heating cooker functions according to the principle of heating a cast iron or steel ferromagnetic cooking vessel with the magnetic field generated by the induction coil.

- vessels suitable to be used on the induction heating cookers have different characteristics depending on the alloy they comprise. In other words, the ferromagnetic characteristics of the vessels are different. While aluminum alloy pots have low inductance values, cast iron vessels have high inductance values. Therefore, it is important to know the ferromagnetic characteristics of a vessel placed onto the induction heating cooker.
