For induction cooking zones a strong electromagnetic
field creates the heat in the cookware very quickly.
Cookware material

cast iron, steel, enamelled steel, stainless
steel, the bottom made of multi-layer (with correct
mark from a manufacturer).
• Not correct:
aluminium, copper, brass, glass,
ceramic or porcelain.
Cookware is correct for an induction hob if ...
•
Some water boils very quickly on a zone set to the
highest heat setting.
•
A magnet pulls on to the bottom of the cookware.
TIPS & INFORMATION

possible. Cookware dimensions: induction cooking zones
adapt to the dimension of the bottom of the cookware
automatically to some limit.
