Your household may already have cookware suitable for induction cooking,
and you may test any utensil with an induction element. Incorporate controls
are able to recognizeasuitable cooking vessel.
Turn an element on and adjust power to any level, you will notice that the
digital power display is flashing. Fill your cooking vessel with some water
and place it on the coil. If the piece being tested is suitable for induction
cooking, the display will become steady. However, if it keeps flashing, the
cooking vessel cannot be used on your induc
tion unit.
If the cooking vessel is empty, remove it from t he coil immediately after
you have done the test and turn the element OFF.
Another simple test to determine if a piece of cookware can be used on an
induction cookt op is the magnet test. Use a magnet and place it on the
utensil. If the magnet st icks to it, the piece will work with induction.
COOKWARE COMPATIBLE WITH INDUCTION ARE:
1. Cookware made of enamel-coated steel with or without a non-stick
coating.
2. Cast iron cookware with or without enamel coated base.
3. Stainless steel pots and pans designed for induction cookware.
NOTE:
Stainless steel for cookware is non-magnetic, in most cases, and unsuitable
for induction cooking, but most manufacturers make such cooking vessel in
layers for better heat distribution, andagoo d num ber of such p ots and pans
can be used with induction. To mak e sure if a stainless st eel utensil can be
used, perform the utens il test.
The use of cook ware with the enameled-coated base will prevent the glass
top of your unit from getting scratched.
Pots and pan
s which do not have a flat bottom still may be used, however,
they should not be overly deformed.
Cookware made from glass, ceramic, earthenware, aluminum, copper and
non-magnetic stainless steel cookware is not suitable for induction cooking.
