Features
Whilst standard hotplates heat up themselves, in an induction hotplate the heat is created in the base of the cookware. The hob itself does not heat up; it becomes hot when food is heated upon it in a pan and the heat from the pan reflects onto the hob. (Reverse heating).
This is caused by an energy field that generates heat only in magnetically conductive materials, for example, pans made of iron. In other materials, such as porcelain, glass or ceramic, the energy field cannot generate any heating effect.
Suitable Cookware
- Only use cookware with a base suitable for induction cooking. Look for the induction symbol on the packaging or on the bottom of the pan.
- You can check whether your cookware is suitable by carrying out a magnet test. Move a magnet towards the base of the pan. If it is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction.
- If you do not have a magnet:
- Put some water in the pan you want to check.
- Turn on and wait for 3 minutes to check if water gets hot.
- Cookware made from the following materials is not suitable: pure stainless steel, aluminum or copper without a magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, and earthenware.
- Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base.
Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth, sits flat against the glass. Always center your pan on the cooking zone. The diameter may not be less than 10 cm to ensure that the energy field has an effect. Do not use pans with a diameter in excess of 26 cm.
Always lift pans off the induction cooker - do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.
Thin pan bases are better suited to induction cooking than thick sandwich bases. The very short response times to setting modifications (short preheating period, rapid and controllable browning) are not possible when pans with thick bases are used.
