Induction Cooktop-Compatible Cookware
ATTENTION:
Each heating coil is located inside the thicker silver ring. You may use pans
measuring up to the total width of the NuWave™ PIC Double’s cooking surfaces,
each of which measures 11.5 inches. It may accomodate pans up to 10.5 inches
when using both sides and 12.0 inches when using a single side. However, in these
situations, heat will transfer more slowly to the outer edges. Not recommended for
pans larger than 12.0 inches.
Examples of compatible cookware:
• All NuWave
™
Cookware • NuWave™ Duralon™ Ceramic Non-Stick Cookware
• Cast iron • Enameled iron and steel • Stainless steel with magnetic base
Non-induction-compatible cookware:
• Copper • Glass • Aluminum • Pottery type vessels
How do I check my cookware for induction compatibility?
Three simple ways to check if your existing pots and pans, or future cookware
purchases, are compatible with the NuWave
™
PIC Double:
1. A magnet is typically a great indicator. If it sticks to the bottom of a piece of
cookware, this typically means the pot or pan is induction-ready. However be
cautioned that there are instances when a cooking vessel’s magnetic properties
may not be strong enough for the pot to work efciently with the
NuWave™ PIC Double.
2. Place a small amount of water in a particular pot or pan.
If induction compatible, water will begin to boil.
3. An induction-ready symbol may be printed on the
bottom of the cookware.
IMPORTANT - Do not immerse unit in water or
attempt to cycle through dishwasher. The outer
surface may be cleaned by wiping carefully with
a damp dishcloth or sponge. Make sure unit has
cooled completely prior to cleaning.
As induction technology is based on magnetic principles, compatible cookware
must have a ferrous (iron-based, magnetic) bottom. Some types of cookware are
made of naturally magnetic metals (such as pure iron), while others are rendered
magnetic by “sandwiching” a thin layer of a ferrous metal within the base. This
layer will be acted upon by the magnetic eld of the induction cooktop to distribute
heat. Tri-ply, high-quality stainless steel and cast iron cookware will work with
induction cooktops. Copper, glass and aluminum cookware will not work unless
they have a sandwiched magnetic base. Pots that function optimally with the
NuWave™ PIC Double tend to be medium to heavy gauge.
BEFORE USE:
Wipe surface with a cloth soaked in warm,
soapy water.
