RETAILOBSERVER.COM JUNE 2016 20 Just like the rest of Fagor's portable induction cooktops, the Pro uses 90% of energy produced while providing precise and instant heat. It also cooks up to 50% faster than gas and electric cooktops, saving you energy, time and money. Considered one of the most eco-friendly products for its efficiency and safety, induction cooking is a convenient cooking solution without the emissions of flame, smoke or gas. The Induction PRO has 8 user-friendly quick launch buttons including Warm, Simmer, Boil, Rapid Boil, Sauté, Brown, Sear and Stir-Fry to provide you with a specific temperature control. With a touch of a button, you have the option of viewing the current temperature on the Digital Display, which can be adjusted by 10 degree increments. These temperatures range from 140°- 465°F. This display also shows the timer (0-180 minutes), which can be adjusted by one minute increments using the +/- buttons. With a versatile and sleek design, the Induction PRO also features a Child Safety Lock Button, which prohibits the controls from being adjusted when the lock is on. The cool to the touch, smooth, glass surface can now be customized to fit your kitchen's color scheme. All four color cooktops will still help eliminate the hassles of cleaning because spills will not stick or burn on the surface. The PRO will not generate heat and will shut off automatically if no cookware or induction compatible cookware is detected. Compatible cookware for this unit includes enamel, stainless steel with a ferromagnetic bottom or cast iron along with Fagor's array of induction ready cookware. The Induction PRO is the ideal addition to your kitchen, camper, dorm or studio apartment and is a great source of an extra cooking zone or food warmer. "Fagor's newly enhanced Induction PRO color collection ensures induction cooking simplicity with a stylish twist," said Sara De La Hera, vice president of sales and marketing for Fagor America. "The new PRO colors are a significant upgrade to our ever growing line of induction cooktops." Suggested Retail Price for the Induction PRO color units is $149.95 USD. All colors will be available Spring 2016. For more information on Fagor's line of pressure cookers, cookware and small electrics, please visit: www.fagoramerica.com.
