To check if cookware material, carry out a magnet test:
Move a magnet across the base of the pan. If the magnet is attracted, the pan is induction
suitable. Ensure attraction is consistent across the base of the pan. If there are gaps, such
as an indented manufacturer's logo, then the performance will be impaired.
If you do not have a magnet, fill the pan with some water and follow steps under 'Selecting
and using a cooking zone'. If

Other cookware considerations
Ensure the base of your cookware is smooth, sits flat against the glass, and is similar in size

centre your pan on the cooking zone and lift pans off the cooktop – do not slide, or they
may scratch the glass.
