Induction Cookware
Induction cooking utilizes magnetic power which reacts with iron in the base of cookware, instantly transforming the pot or pan into the heat
source. The heat stops when the cookware is removed. Your cookware MUST have a magnetic layer of steel for your induction cooktop to
operate properly. The cookware should have a fl at, heavy magnetic bottom and straight sides with a diameter of 5" (13 cm) to 12" (31 cm) to
accommodate the various sized elements. The induction cookware should be in good condition and free from excessive dents on the bottom to
provide maximum performance and convenience. Most induction cookware will be suitable for your induction cooktop if a magnet adheres to
the bottom surface. Cookware that is NOT suitable for your induction cooktop includes pottery, glass, aluminum, copper, bronze, and any type
of cookware with a footed base.
