When cookware consisting of magnetic material (e. g. iron) is placed on the induction cooker, the electromagnetic field transfers energy to the bottom of the cookware, which causes the cookware and the food inside it to become hot. The amount of heat generated in the cookware is controlled by varying the strength of the electromagnetic field.
