Cookware
Appliances of this type require special cookware to be able to work.
In fact, the cookware must have an iron or steel/iron bottom to generate the
magnetic field necessary for it to be heated up.
Recipients made of the following are not suitable:
•
glass
•
ceramic:
•
terracotta
•
steel, aluminium or copper without a magnetic bottom
To see whether the pan is suitable, bring a magnet close to the bottom: if it is
attracted, the pan is suitable for induction cooking. If you do not have a magnet,
you can put a small amount of water in the recipient, place it on a cooking zone
and start the hotplate. If, instead of the power symbol, the
symbol appears, it
means the pan is not suitable or is not positioned correctly.
The pans used for cooking must have a minimum diameter to guarantee proper
functioning.
Below is a table with the minimum diameters for pans according to the cooking
zone.
