Cookware for induction cooking zones
TIPS & INFORMATION
IMPORTANT
For induction cooking zones a strong electromagnetic
field creates the heat in the cookware very quickly.
Cookware material
• Correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel, stainless
steel, the bottom made of multi-layer (with correct
mark from a manufacturer).
• Not correct: aluminium, copper, brass, glass,
ceramic or 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.
TIPS & INFORMATION

The bottom of the cookware must be as thick and flat as
possible. Cookware dimensions: induction cooking zones
adapt to the dimension of the bottom of the cookware
automatically to some limit.
