Pans

Suitable pans:
– stainless steel pans with a base that
can be magnetised
– enamelled steel pans
– Cast iron pans
Unsuitable pans:
– stainless steel pans without a mag‐
netic base
– aluminium 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.
If an unsuitable pan is used, the 1-9
power levels will flash on the control
panel of the cooking zone.
Please be aware that the properties of
the pan base can affect the evenness
with which food heats up in the pan.
– To make optimum use of the cooking
zones, choose pans with a suitable
diameter (see "Cooking zones"). If
the pan is too small, it will not be rec‐
ognised and the 1-9 power levels will
flash on the control panel of the
zone.
– Do not use pots and pans with bases
with pronounced edges or ridges.
These could scratch or scour the
cooktop surface permanently.
– Lift pans into position on the cook‐
top. Sliding them into place can
cause scuffs and scratches.
– Often the maximum diameter quoted
by manufacturers refers to the diam‐
eter of the top rim of the pot or pan.
The diameter of the base (generally
smaller) is more important.
