Pans
Induction cooking makes use of a magnetic field to generate heat. This is why
the bases of the pans have to contain iron and therefore be magnetic.
You achieve the best result by using a pan that has the same dimensions as the
cooking zone. The minimum pan base diameter is 12 cm.
You can check for yourself whether your pans are suitable using a magnet.
A pan is suitable if:
■
the base of the pan is attracted by the magnet;
■
the pan is suitable for electric cooking.
You should only use pans with a thick (minimum 2.25 mm), flat base which are
suitable for induction cooking. The best are pans with the "Class Induction"
quality mark.
Pans with a base which is not magnetic or is not suitable for electric cooking
are unsuitable for use on the induction hob.
Suitable
■
special stainless-steel pans for induction cooking;
■
solid enamelled pans;
■
enamelled cast-iron pans.
Unsuitable
Earthenware, aluminium, plastic, copper, china, stainless steel.
Once you remove the saucepan from the hob, the cooking activity stops
automatically. However, you should get used to always switching the hob or
zone off after use in order to avoid the hob or zone being switched on
unintentionally.
