How induction hobs work
An induction hob heats in a dynamically new way. A very strong magnetic field is
created by electricity running through an electrical coil positioned under a ceramic plate.
The ‘induction current’, created by the magnetic field, generates heat in any cookware
capable of being magnetised, when standing on the ceramic plate. Only the pans are
heated - the ceramic plate remains relatively cool. Because the ceramic plate stays
relatively cool, spilt food will not burn-on to the surface, and can be simply wiped off at
the end of cooking.
Choosing cookware for induction hob use
Only pans that can be magnetised can be used on induction hobs. Most recent Judge,
Stellar, and Horwood cookware is induction-ready, and is described as ‘suitable for all
hob types’. Some cookware, although made of non-magnetic materials, has special
bases which allow efficient working on induction hobs. It is easy to see if your current
cookware is suitable for use on an induction hob - just see if a fridge magnet will stick to
the base of the pans. If it does, the pan is magnetic and will heat on an induction hob.
Suitable pans
•
Enamel Coated Steel, with or without a
non-stick coating.
•
Cast Iron cookware, with or without an
enamel-coated base.
•
Stainless Steel cookware specially
designed for Induction Hob use
- described on Judge, Stellar and
Horwood packaging as ‘Suitable for ALL
Hob types’.
•
Aluminium and ‘Hard Anodised’
cookware, ONLY if it has bases specially
constructed for Induction Hob Use.
Unsuitable pans
•
Glass, Ceramic, Earthenware,
Aluminium, Copper, unless the pans are
fitted with special Induction Hob Bases.
Suitability for Induction Hob use is
usually made clear on current cookware
packaging.
•
Any pan with a Base diameter of less
than 12cm.
