Choice of pans
The most suitable pans for induction
cooking are listed below.
Note : A pan with a base not absolutely
flat may still be suitable, as long as it
is not too distorted.
Choose a pan bearing the logo
on its base or packaging to be sure
that it is perfectly suitable for use on
your hob under normal conditions of use.
You can also find a range of pans
suitable for induction cooking by
looking in quality kitchen shops. Look
for the wording and symbol “suitable
for induction”.
You probably already have some
suitable pans:
• Pans in enamelled steel, with
or without non-stick coating
For example; cooking pot, chip pan,
frying pan, meat grill pan, etc.
• Cast iron pans
To avoid the risk of scratching the
glass top of your hob, use pans
with an enamelled base, or avoid
sliding the pan across the glass
surface.
• Stainless steel pans suitable
for induction
Most stainless steel pans are suitable
for induction cooking (saucepan,
pot, frying pan, chip pan, etc).
Some stainless steel pans have
copper bases which are usually
not suitable.
• Aluminium pans with a
special base
Choose pans with a thick base, as
this ensures more even cooking (the
heat is more evenly distributed).
Incompatible pans
Glass, ceramic or earthenware pans,
aluminium pans (unless they have a
special base), copper pans, some non-
magnetic steel pans.
The pan test
Because of its leading-edge technology,
your induction hob is able to “recognise”
most pans.
Place your pan on a heating zone on
power setting

pan is compatible .

cooking.
