What type of cookware can I use on Induction?

Since Induction is based on magnetic principles, the cookware used on it must have a ferrous (iron-based, magnetic) bottom. Some types of cookware are made of naturally magnetic metals (such as pure iron), while others are made to be magnetic by “sand- wiching” a thin layer of a ferrous metal in the base. This layer in the base is what will be affected by the magnetic field of the induction cooktop and distribute the heat. Gener- ally speaking, tri-ply, high-quality stainless steel and cast iron cookware will work on induction cooktops. Copper, glass and aluminum cookware will not work unless they have a sandwiched magnetic base.

The easiest way to check whether your cookware is compatible with an induction cooktop or not, is to take a magnet and try to stick it to the bottom of your pot. If it sticks, your pot will work on induction. You can use even the simplest decorative fridge magnet for this test. Note that the magnet has to stick only to the bottom of the pot, not necessarily the sides. If the sides are not magnetic but the bottom is, your pot will still work perfectly well on induction.

The pots that work best on induction are medium- to heavy-gauge.
