Induction
Pans
Suitable pans
Suitable pans include:
– stainless steel pans with a magnetic
base
– enamelled steel pans
– cast iron pans
Unsuitable pans:
– stainless steel pans without a
magnetic base
– aluminium and copper pans
– glass, ceramic or earthenware pots
and pans
In case you are not sure if a pot or pan
is suitable for induction, hold a magnet
to the bottom off the pan. If the magnet
sticks to it, the pan is suitable.
Please be aware that the properties of
the pan base can affect the eveness
with which food heats up in the pan.

Pan size
To make optimum use of the cooking
zones, choose pans with diameters
larger than the inner markings but
smaller than the outer markings. If the
diameter of the pan is smaller than the
inner marking, the induction heating will
not work. The cooking zone will react as
if there is no pan on it.
Please note that the maximum diameter
quoted by manufacturers often refers to
the diameter of the top rim of the pot or
pan. The diameter of the base
(generally smaller) is more important.
Tips on saving energy
Use a pan lid whenever possible to
minimise heat loss.
