The induction principle An induction coil is located under each cooking zone. When a cooking zone is switched on, this coil creates a magnetic field which impacts directly on the base of the pan and heats it up. The cooking zone itself is heated up indirectly by the heat given off by the pan. An induction cooking zone only works when a ferromagneti[...]

Noises When using an induction cooking zone, the following noises can occur in the pan, depending on what it is made of and how it has been constructed. – On the higher power levels, it might buzz. This will decrease or cease altogether when the power level is reduced. – If the pan base is made of layers of different materials (e.g. in a sandwi[...]

Pans Suitable pans include: – stainless steel pans with a magnetic base – enamelled steel pans – cast iron pans Unsuitable pans: – stainless steel pans without a magnetic base – aluminium and copper pans – glass, ceramic or earthenware pots and pans To test whether a pot or pan is suitable for use on an induction hob, hold a magnet to t[...]
