Cookware that is suitable for an induction hob

The table below shows cookware that is normally suitable for use on
an induction zone hob:-
Cookware
Steel, enamelled steel
Cast iron
Stainless steel
Aluminium, copper, brass
Glass, ceramic, porcelain
o The bottom of the pans should be as flat and thick as possible.
o Certain types of cookware may result in a noise being made
when being used on an induction zone hob. This does not mean
that there is an appliance fault.
o IMPORTANT: You should make sure that all pans are placed in
the centre of the induction zone that you are using.

Hob guidelines

o The first few times the
hob is used, it may give
off an acrid, burning
smell. This smell will
disappear completely with
repeated use.
o The saucepan must be
positioned exactly on the
zone for efficient heating
to occur. Pans should
have the same diameter
as the cooking zone that it
is being used on.
o You should not use
saucepans with rough
bottoms, as this can
scratch the ceramic
surface.
o Before use, make sure
that the bottom of the
saucepan is clean and dry.

o When cold, the bottom of
the pan should be slightly
concave, as it will expand
when hot and lie flat on
the surface of the hob.
This will allow the heat to
transfer more easily.
o The best thickness for the
bottom of the pans is 2 –
3 mm of enamelled steel
and 4 – 6 mm for
stainless steel with
sandwich type bottoms.
o If these rules are not
followed, then there will
be a great loss of heat
and energy. Heat not
absorbed by the
saucepan, will spread to
the hob, frame and
surrounding areas.
