How Taurus Mycook is different from other kitchen robots
There are many kitchen robots on the market, but not all are the same. The best known (perhaps because it has been on the market for many years) is the Thermomix, which has a very high price, not suitable for all budgets.
Over time, various models inspired by it have emerged, which perform more or less the same functions at a lower price. Taurus has chosen to create something different, and in 2007 it presented its Mycook, the first robot with induction cooking..
The Thermomix and other robots heat through electrical resistances, while the Taurus Mycook do so through induction, a most modern technology which allows for faster, more homogeneous and efficient heating, also achieving energy savings.
The induction heating method allows you to obtain a result more similar to that of traditional cooking and faster when modifying the temperature of food.
