Benefits of Induction Cooking

ENERGY-EFFICIENT
• Heats only diameter of pan so no wasted energy.
• Heating begins instantly for faster cook time.
EASY CLEANUP
• Spills are less likely to bake onto the glass top. Simply wipe up
when cool.
Selecting the Right Cookware
• Only induction-ready cookware will work with induction
cooktops. Cookware must have iron in bottom of pan. Place
small kitchen magnet on cookware bottom; if it holds, it is
induction cooktop-ready.
COOKWARE THAT WORKS:
• Some stainless steel
• Enamel cast iron
• Enamel on steel
• Cast iron

SAFETY FEATURES
• No open flame.
• No emissions.
• Surface not in contact with pan stays cool.

surface within 20 seconds, the coil will automatically re-energize.
• Cast iron, enamel cast iron, and some stainless steel will work
on induction cooktops. If unsure, check cookware bottom with
a magnet.

in diameter.
