steel (appearance, durability and stability) with the
advantages of aluminum or copper (heat conduction,

recommended
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues sometimes
appear as scratches on the cooktop, but can be
removed if cleaned immediately. Because of its
low melting point, thin weight aluminum should not
be used.
Copper Bottom:

recommended
Good performance, but copper may leave residues
which can appear

removed, as long as the cooktop is cleaned

An overheated copper pot will leave a residue that
will permanently stain the cooktop.
