How to tell whether you are using the right saucepan

Carry out the magnet test described below or check whether the container bears the stamp indicating that it is suitable for cooking with an induction current.

Magnet test:

Move the magnet towards the base of your cooking container. If the magnet is attracted, you can use the container on the induction hob.

Note!

While using some manufacturers' saucepans for induction cooking, a hissing sound can be heard due to the methods of manufacture of the saucepans themselves.

Take care while using «bain marie»-type saucepans as the water can boil away without the user realising. This can result in damage to the saucepan and the hob for which we cannot be held liable.

6.7 Advice on energy-saving

Below you will find advice on how to use your new hob effectively and economically.

The diameter of the base of the saucepan must correspond to the diameter of the cooking zone.

When buying a saucepan, check whether the diameter indicated is that of the base or the top of the container, as the top is almost always larger than the base.

When preparing dishes with long cooking times, you can save time and energy by using a pressure cooker, which also makes it possible to preserve the vitamins in the food.

Make sure that the pressure cooker contains enough liquid, as, if there is not enough and it overheats, this may cause damage to both the pressure cooker and the cooking zone.

If possible, always cover saucepans with a suitable lid.

Choose a saucepan suitable for the quantity of food to be cooked. A large, half-empty saucepan leads to a waste of energy.
