Size of pans

Induction cooking zones adapt automatically to the size of the bottom of the cookware up to a certain limit. However the magnetic part of the bottom of the cookware must have a minimum diameter depending upon the size of the cooking zone.

Using suitable cookware

Better pans produce better results.

You can recognise good pans by their bases. The base should be as thick and flat as possible.

When buying new pans, pay particular attention to the diameter of the base. Manufacturers often give only the diameter of the upper rim.

Do not use pans which have damaged bases with rough edges or burrs. Permanent scratching can occur if these pans pan are slid across the surface.

When cold, pan bases are normally bowed slightly inwards (concave). They should never be bowed outwards (convex).

If you wish to use a special type of pan, for example, a pressure cooker, a simmering pan, or a wok, please observe the manufacturer’s instructions.
