8.1 Suitable cookware
Cookware that is suitable for induction cooking must have a ferromagnetic base, i.e. it must be attracted by a magnet. The
base must also match the size of the cooking zone. If cookware is not detected on a cooking zone, place it on the cooking
zone with the next smallest diameter.
Size and characteristics of the cookware
To correctly detect the cookware, take the size and the material of the cookware into consideration. All cookware bases
must be perfectly flat and smooth.
Use the feature Cookware test to check whether your cookware is suitable.

Properties
This cookware distributes the heat evenly, heats up quickly, and
ensures that it can be detected easily.
This cookware heats up quickly and ensures that it can be detected
easily.
If the ferromagnetic area is smaller than the base of the cookware, only
the area that is ferromagnetic heats up. As a result, the heat is not
distributed evenly.
These reduce the ferromagnetic area, which means that less power is
emitted to the cookware. This cookware may not be sufficiently
detected or may not be detected at all, and therefore does not heat
sufficiently.
