Pros and cons of induction cooktop grill trays
According to the operating principle of induction cooktops, they use magnetic fields for heat generation. Each cooking zone is equipped with an induction coil that produces magnetic fields when an electric current passes through. Combined with ferromagnetic materials, it generates heat directly beneath the pot, cooking food quickly. So, when grilling on an induction cooktop, users can't place food directly on the glass surface. This practice compromises cleanliness, affects aesthetics, and can even damage the cooktop due to grease seeping in and adhering to internal components. Hence, the need for an additional induction cooktop grill tray.

- Heat conductivity: Grill trays made of materials like cast iron or stainless steel usually have a rapid heat conductivity time, within 5 minutes, you can have the tray hot. For thicker materials, it may take longer, around 20 minutes.
