CHOOSING THE RIGHT COOKWARE
To check if cookware is suitable
●
Carry out a magnet test:
●
Move a magnet across the base of the pan.
If the magnet is attracted then the pan is induction suitable.
●
Note: Make sure attraction is consistent across the base of the pan.
If there are gaps, such as an indented manufacturer’s logo,
then the performance of the pan will be impaired.
●
If you do not have a magnet:
1 Put some water in the pan you want to check.
2 Follow the steps under ‘To start cooking’.
3 If does not flash in the display and the water is heating, the pan is suitable.
Quality of cookware
IMPORTANT!
●
The quality of your cookware can affect cooking performance. Only use induction
compatible cookware that has been specifically designed for induction cooking.
Look for the induction symbol on the packaging or the bottom of the pan.
●
Cookware that has a high content of ferromagnetic material that continues up from
the base into the sides of the pan will give the best cooking performance.
See below:
Quickest heating
Performance
High content of
ferromagnetic material.
Heating area is
consistent across the
base and continues up
the sides of pan.
Average heating
Performance
Reduced area of
ferromagnetic material.
Reduced zone of
heating, results in poor
cooking performance
and slower heating.
Slow heating
Performance
Very limited area of
ferromagnetic material.
Results in very slow
heating performance.
Note: This type of
pot is good for very
delicate tasks such as
melting chocolate, as
heating is very slow.
