To check if cookware is suitable
Carry out a magnet test:
Move a magnet across the base of the pan.
If the magnet is attracted then the pan is
induction suitable.
Note: make sure attraction is consistent across
the base of the pan.
If there are gaps, such as an indented
manufacturer's logo, then the performance of
the pan will be impaired.
If you do not have a magnet:
1
Put some water in the pan you want to check.
2
Follow the steps under 'To start cooking'.
3
If
does not flash in the display and the water is heating, the pan is suitable.
Quality of cookware
IMPORTANT!
The quality of your cookware can affect cooking performance. Only use induction
compatible cookware that has been specifically designed for induction cooking.
Look for the induction symbol on the packaging or the bottom of the pan.
Cookware that has a high content of ferromagnetic material that continues up from the
base into the sides of the pan will give the best cooking performance.
See below:
Quickest heating
Performance
High content of
ferromagnetic material
Heating area is consistent
across the base and
continues up the sides
of pan.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT COOKWARE
Average heating
Performance
Reduced area of
ferromagnetic material
Reduced zone of
heating, results in poor
cooking performance
and slower heating.
Slow heating
Performance
Very limited area of
ferromagnetic material
Results in very slow
heating performance.
Note: this type of pot is
good for very delicate
tasks such as melting
chocolate, as heating is
very slow.
