Suitability test
Cookware is suitable for induction cooking
if a magnet sticks to the bottom of the
cookware and the cookware is labelled as
suitable by the cookware manufacturer.
•
You can recognise good cookware by their bases. The base is supposed to be
as thick and flat as possible.
•
When buying new cookware, pay special attention to the diameter of the base.
Manufacturers often give only the diameter of the upper rim.
•
Do not use cookware which have damaged bases with rough edges or burrs.
Damaged cookware can scratch the ceramic hob permanently if you slide
them across the surface.
•
When cold, cookware bases are normally bowed slightly inwards (concave).
They must not be bent outwards (convex).
•
If you want to use a special type of cookware, for example, a pressure cooker,
a simmering pan, or a wok, please follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
