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 recognize 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 cooktop 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.
Cookware sizes for induction cooking zones
Induction cooking zones adapt automatically to the bottom size of the cookware up to a
certain limit. However, the magnetic part of the bottom of the cookware must be longer
than a minimum diameter depending upon the size of the cooking zone.
