When choosingeookwarefor the induction elements,consider the material,gauge, and
size of the cookware. Note: Cookware does NOT have to be flat for optimum
performanceon the induction elements.

inductioncooktop. Todetermine ifa materialis magnetic,testthe bottomofthe cookware
with a magnet, If the magnetsticks to the outsidebottom of thecookware, the cookware
will work on your induction element.
Examplesof magnetic material are:

• tri-ply stainless steel,

are_

• earthenware.
Cookwarecomes in a varietyof gauge thicknesses. Thingauge pots will performwell in
bringing water to a boil quickly, simmering,and stewing. Heaviergauge skillets provide
a better overall browning pattern.
• Cookpots MUST be at least 4 or more inches in diameter in order to work on the
inductioncooktop.
• For better browningwhen pan-frying, match the bottom diameter of the skillet with
the size of the cooking area.
