Abstract
An optimum temperature distribution at the bottom of the cooking vessel is necessary to enhance the cooking experience for induction heating users. Traditional ferromagnetic cookware has good efficiency in heating surfaces but uneven temperature distribution with flat inductors, which ultimately leads to inequitable cooking outcomes. To address this issue, the paper proposes an alternative solution by incorporating different designs of cookware. The paper describes the analysis and design of cookware using the finite element method to improve the temperature distribution of the cookware. This paper explains the temperature distribution and magnetic flux distribution at the bottom of the cookware. The results demonstrate that the proposed solution achieves a well-balanced trade-off between efficiency and even temperature distribution at the bottom of the induction cookware.
