If the magnet sticks to the bottom of the pan, then it is suitable for an induction cooker. Make sure the pot or pan is in the middle of the cooking zone For best cooking results, the ferromagnetic area on the cookware bottom should match the size of the cooking zone.
Pan bottom has to be flat. 8.4 Energy saving tips • When purchasing cookware, consider that the diameter indicated on the pan usually pertains to the upper edge or the lid, which is normally larger than the diameter of the pan bottom. •...
