The reason is that the glass itself doesn’t heat up; rather, it heats the pots and pans directly. This prevents any spills from your cooking from getting baked onto the surface, meaning that cleaning up is as easy as wiping down the glass surface with some warm, soapy water after you’ve finished cooking and then drying it with a clean cloth. When it comes to more intensive maintenance, we recommend referring to the manufacturer's guidelines.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/details\u003e \u003cdetails class=\"kg-accordian-item\"\u003e \u003csummary\u003e \u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCan induction cookers handle heavy commercial use?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003c\/summary\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYes, absolutely - induction cookers can be used in commercial kitchens.
