Q: What should be done when using an electric furnace for the first time?

A: ① Wipe the furnace surface: Use a damp cloth to remove the surface dust-proof coating and dust. ② Preheating with empty heat: Adjust to medium-high heat and heat for 5 to 10 minutes. During this period, there may be a slight odor, so open the Windows for ventilation. ③ Check the operating status: Observe whether the heating on the furnace surface is uniform and if there are any abnormal sounds or odors.

Q: Does an electric furnace need preheating for heating?

A: Necessary. Preheating can bring the temperature of the stove surface to the preset value, ensuring that the ingredients are heated evenly during cooking and preventing them from being cooked on the outside but cooked on the inside. For stir-fried and baked ingredients, it is recommended to preheat for 3 to 5 minutes. For stewed ingredients, the preheating time can be shortened to 1 to 2 minutes.

Q: What kinds of cookware can be used on an electric stove?

A: The electric ceramic stove is compatible with all types of cookware (metal, ceramic, glass and clay POTS are all acceptable). Induction cookers are only compatible with cookware containing ferromagnetism (such as iron POTS and stainless steel POTS), and this can be determined through a magnetic adsorption test.
