SUMMARY
An induction cooker does not work in reverse when a hot pan is placed on the coil. The primary mechanism of heat generation in induction cooking relies on electromagnetic induction, which requires a magnetic field generated by the induction coil. A hot pan, while capable of transferring heat to the coil through conduction, does not produce a magnetic field necessary for electromagnetic induction, resulting in minimal energy transfer and primarily infrared radiation.
