To test whether a pot or pan is suitable for use on an
induction hob, hold a magnet to the base of the pan. If the
magnet sticks, the pan is suitable.
Please be aware that the properties of the pan base can
affect the eveness with which food heats up in the pan.
To make optimum use of the cooking zones, choose pans
with diameters larger than the innermost markings but smaller
than the outermost markings. If the diameter of the pan is
smaller than the innermost marking, the induction heating will
not work. The zone will behave as if it had no pan on it.
Often the maximum diameter quoted by manufacturers refers
to the diameter of the top rim of the pot or pan. The diameter
of the base (generally smaller) is more important.
Danger of burning. Make sure that pans are placed
centrally on the cooking zone. If a pan is placed only
partially on a zone, there is a risk that the handle could get
very hot.
