IV.2 CONTAINERS FOR COOKING
IV.2.a QUALITY OF THE PANS
Only use pans bearing the symbol
Suitable materials:
steel, enamelled steel, cast iron, ferromagnetic stainless steel, aluminium with
a ferromagnetic base.
Unsuitable materials:
aluminium and stainless steel without ferromagnetic base, copper, brass,
glass, ceramic, porcelain.
Manufacturers specify whether their products are induction compatible.
To check if the pans are compatible:
· Add some water to a pot positioned on an induction heating zone set to the minimum level. This
water must heat up in seconds.
· A magnet sticks to the bottom of the pot.
Some cookware can make noise when placed on an induction cooking zone. This noise does not mean
that there is a fault with the appliance and it will not affect the cooking operation.
IV.2.b DIMENSIONS OF PANS
The minimum recommended diameter of the pans to be used is:
Function active
Minimum pot diameter
Single cooking area
Ø 110 mm
“Bridge” cooking zone
Ø 230 mm
The bottom of the pot must never touch the central glass flap.
To obtain the best efficiency of the hob, position the suitable pot well centred in relation to the
cooking zone marked on the glass ceramic surface.
