Selecting the Best Induction Cookware

Whenever you use an induction hob it is vitally important that you use induction ready cookware.

For cookware to be induction ready it must be constructed with a magnetic-based material. Good examples of this would include cast iron or magnetic stainless steel. Even non-stick cookware can be compatible with induction.

Induction Ready Cookware Explained

Do not buy cookware made entirely out of copper or aluminum as these are not magnetic and will not work on your induction hob.

Many manufacturers will try to accommodate aluminium into their pans as it retains heat efficiently and is lightweight. They are able to do so by using a stainless steel plate on the base of an aluminium pan. This then makes the pan suitable for induction.

This method of applying a stainless steel base is successfully used by a number of manufacturers as it allow hybrid and combinations of metals to be used in the construction of the cookware.
