Induction cooktop Safe?
 

Hi All,


Just would like to ask, is induction cooktop safe?


Most people said that it is safe, because it produce no flame, and
with auto shut off, over heat protection etc...


But how about the Electromanagtic Wave that it generates? It is
harmful to human body?


TIA

Only if you sit on it.

Donald,

Thanks for the info. How can I measure the strength of the
Electromagnetic Wave?

Wouldn't it leak from the side / edga of the cooktop?

TIA.

EMF amplitude drops of exponentially from the source, so unless you are an
inch away it would seem doubtful you would get any effect. Nobody worries
about the EMF from a hairdryer, and that is placed preety close to ones
head.

But Radio WAfe, Gamma Ray and Laser are also another form of EMF right.
Why are they so harmful?

You are comparing apples to oranges. The frequencies of those source are
incredibly higher than house AC power, so they have different properties.

No. they are a plot to wipe out mankind. The manufacturers are aliens
and by producing thousands of these ranges will take over Earth.

I am so sick of hearing about S A F E.

Or Pecan Pie is just eggs and Karo syrup!!! EEEEEK.

Give it a rest.

And, it's ok if your kids play BY THEMSELVES and you may eat a pat of
butter!

Stop bubble wrapping your minds and bodies.

Then how about power sub-station? They are of the same frequency right,
and still dangerous.

Water out of the tap isn't dangerous. Water out of a fire hose or a 4
inch main is. It is a matter of 'volume'.

Actually, I thought the induction units *were* the aliens!

And one of my favorites!

My doctor actually prefers that I use butter over most other fats.

Yup, burst those bubbles and air out your brain!

Even near substations the risk is extremely low. You'd be more likely to
die from electrocution before radiation.
