Section 3. Operating the Appliance
3.1. Cookware Suitable for Induction
Induction hobs are made from smooth, ceramic glass, the heat comes from a
magnetic induction coil which heats the cookware but not the cooking surface. The
heat from the cookware is transferred to the food.
Pans suitable for induction hob use must be made from magnetisable metal such as
cast iron or steel. Pure aluminium, copper or glass pans will not work with this type of
hob unless the base is bonded with a magnetic metal.
Check that pans are attracted to a magnet - this ensures that they are suitable for use
with an induction hob.
