Induction cooking will not work with aluminum, copper or glass pots. COOKWARE Induction only works with cookware made of ferrous metals - metals to which magnets will stick such as cast iron and magnetic stainless steel, and will not work with aluminum or other metals. To test your cookware for induction cooking simply place your Kenyon magnet on the bottom of the pot or pan and see if it sticks. If the magnet does not stick to your cookware it will not work. Use cookware that will fit the burner size and has a flat bottom. By using cookware with the correct diameter, you should achieve maximum heating efficiency with the shortest possible boiling times.
