Overcoming the restrictions of existing electromagnetic stoves, The Tree Ring stove is adjustable to suit pans with different base radii.

Both the wok and the flat-based pan have their respective advantages. Woks prevent food from sticking to the bottom, but cooking could be done with either type of pan, depending on the dish and the user’s preferred method of cooking. However, today’s electromagnetic stoves are designed exclusively for a single pan type and are unable to accommodate the use of other pans.

Tree Ring is an electromagnetic stove that is designed to meet with the various requirements of the user, as well as suit pans with different base radii.

Inspired by tree growth rings, the heating panels of the Tree Ring electromagnetic stove are designed to slide and be fixed in accordance with radius of the cooking pan. Separate electromagnetic induction coils, located at the bottom of each layer’s heating panel, shift with each panel to ensure that pan will be heated evenly. The power of the heating panel at each layer can be adjusted via the capacitor induction key on the control panel, which is clearly displayed.
