What type of cookware can I use on induction?
Since induction is based on magnetic principles, the cookware used must have a
ferrous (iron-based, magnetic) bottom. Some types of cookware are made of natural
magnetic metals (such as pure iron), while others are made to be magnetic by
“sandwiching” a thin layer of a ferrous metal within the base. This layer in the base is
what will be affected by the magnetic fi eld of the induction cooktop and distribute the
heat.
Induction Compatible Cookware:
• Stainless Steel (Note: Not all stainless steel cookware has magnetic properties.
Check with a magnet before use*)
• Cast iron
• All Fagor cookware and stainless steel pressure cookers
Non-Induction Compatible Cookware:
• Copper
• Glass
• Aluminum
• Pottery type vessels
* The easiest way to check whether your cookware is compatible with an induction cooktop
is to take a magnet (a refrigerator magnet will suffi ce) and see if it sticks to the bottom of the
cookware. If it sticks, your cookware will work on the induction cooktop.
ATTENTION:
Cookware used on the Fagor Induction Pro must have a fl at, magnetic bottom of
at least 5 inches in diameter.
