What pots and pans are suitable for an induction hob?
Cooking with an induction hob means the pan gets heated directly, rather than the surface of the hob. It’s as fast as gas, and as precise as electric, therefore making it a more energy efficient cooking method.
Due to the heating method of induction cooking, only ferromagnetic cookware is suitable. For optimum cooking results, heat needs to be distributed evenly. Therefore, ensure the ferromagnetic base of your cookware corresponds to the size of the cooking zone.
Suitable cookware examples:
- Cast iron cookware
- Enamelled steel cookware
- Specialist stainless steel cookware
We offer a wide range of induction-compatible accessories for your hob.
Which cookware items don't work with induction hobs?
Avoid using flow plates or cookware made of the following:
- Thin-walled normal steel
- Glass
- Clay
- Copper
- Aluminium
Using empty cookware or cookware with a thin base
Do not heat empty cookware and do not use cookware with a thin base. The hob is equipped with an internal safety system, however, empty cookware may heat up so quickly that the "Automatic switch-off" function does not respond in good time and an excessive temperature is reached. As a result, the base of the cookware may melt and damage the glass plate. In this case, do not touch the cookware and switch off the cooking zone. If the cooking zone no longer works after cooling down, please contact our Customer Service team.
