Helpful hints and tips

Cookware for induction cooking zones
In induction cooking a powerful electro-
magnetic field generates an almost in-
stant heat inside the cookware.
Cookware material
• correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel,
stainless steel, a multi-layer bottom (marked
as correct by a manufacturer).
• not correct: aluminium, copper, brass,
glass, ceramic, porcelain.
Cookware is correct for an induction hob
if ...
• ... some water boils very quickly on a zone
set to the highest heat setting
• ... a magnet pulls on to the bottom of the
cookware.
The bottom of the cookware must be
as thick and flat as possible.

zones adapt to the dimension of the bottom of
the cookware automatically to some limit. But

the bottom of the cookware is in relation to the
diameter of the cooking zone:
