Induction  cooktops  are  now  a  very  familiar  term  in  today’s  modern  kitchen
                     world.  It  has  slowly  but  surely  started  replacing  conventional  cooktops.  In  the
                     following we are going to explain step by step how to use an induction cooktop.
                     [1]
                        Before we are moving on the steps on how to use an induction cooktop, prepare
                     the equipment used. Prepare the induction cooktop along with the pot or pan that
                     will be used. [2]
                        After the equipment is ready, you can start the first step. Firstly, switch ON the
                     induction hob unit. Secondly, place your induction pan/cookware on the cooktop
                     ring  that  you  want  to  use.  Thirdly,  locate  the  power  switch  on  the  induction
                     cooktop and press it to switch on the appliance. Then, selecting the sensor meant
                     for the ring you wish to use (in case you have multiple burner cooktop). Next, use
                     the + and – sensor buttons to adjust the heat. Lastly, once done with the cooking,
                     hold the power button again to turn off the induction cooktop. [3]
