ANSWER: C - Induction cooking is a type of cooking method that uses an electromagnetic field to generate heat directly in the cooking vessel, rather than using a heat source to indirectly heat the cooking vessel as in traditional cooking methods. Induction cooktops use a coil of wire to generate an alternating electromagnetic field under the cooking surface, which in turn produces eddy currents in the metal cooking vessel. These eddy currents create heat in the vessel, which is then transferred to the food being cooked.
One of the advantages of induction cooking is that it is more efficient and faster than traditional cooking methods because the heat is generated directly in the cooking vessel rather than being transferred through the air or a heating element. Induction cooktops also tend to be more precise and easier to control than other types of cooking surfaces, as the heat can be adjusted quickly and accurately. In addition, induction cooking is generally considered to be safer than other cooking methods because the cooking surface itself does not get hot, reducing the risk of burns or fires.
