Using existing pots and pans Use a magnet to check whether pots or pans are suitable for use on the induction hob: pots are unsuitable if they cannot be magnetically detected. - Ensure pots have a smooth bottom, otherwise they may scratch the hob's glass ceramic surface. Check dishes. - Never place hot pots or pans on the hob's control panel. This could result in damage.
