Induction
Cookware
Suitable pans include:
–stainless steel pans with a magnetic base
–enameled steel pans
–cast iron pans
Unsuitable pans:
–stainless steel pans without a magnetic base
–aluminum and copper pans
–glass, ceramic or earthenware pots and pans
To test whether a pot or pan is suitable for use on an induction cooktop, hold a magnet to the base of the pan. If the magnet sticks, the pan is suitable.
Unless the pan manufacturer states that you can do so, do not use pans with very thin bases on this cooktop, and never heat up empty pans. This could damage the appliance and cookware.
Pan size
To make optimum use of the burners, choose cookware that fits between the inner and outer marking of the burner. If the base diameter of the pan is smaller than the inner marking, the induction heating will not work. The burner will behave as if it had no pan on it.
