10 • NuWave PIC Complete Cookbook
Induction Cooktop-Compatible Cookware:
Cleaning & Care for Your NuWave PIC:
ATTENTION:
The heating surface is located inside the larger red ring. You may use pans
measuring up to the total width of the PIC, which measures 12 inches, however
in these situations, heat will transfer more slowly to the outer edges. Do not use
pans larger than 12 inches.
Examples of compatible cookware:
• All NuWave Precision Cookware • NuWave PerfectGreen Fry Pans
• Cast iron • Enameled iron and steel • Stainless steel with magnetic base
Non-induction-compatible cookware:
• Copper • Glass • Aluminum • Pottery type vessels
How do I check my cookware for induction compatibility?
Three simple ways to check if your existing pots and pans, or future cookware
purchases, are compatible with the NuWave PIC:
1. A magnet is typically a great indicator. If it sticks to the bottom of a piece of
cookware, this typically means the pot or pan is induction-ready. However be
cautioned that there are instances when a cooking vessel’s magnetic properties
may not be strong enough for the pot to work efciently with the PIC.
2. Place a small amount of water in a particular pot or pan.
If induction compatible, water will begin to boil.
3. An induction-ready symbol may be printed on the
bottom of the cookware.
IMPORTANT - Do not immerse unit in water or
attempt to cycle through dishwasher. The outer
surface may be cleaned by wiping carefully with
a damp dishcloth or sponge. Make sure unit has
cooled completely prior to cleaning.
As induction technology is based on magnetic principles, compatible cookware
must have a ferrous (iron-based, magnetic) bottom. Some types of cookware
are made of naturally magnetic metals (such as pure iron), while others are
rendered magnetic by “sandwiching” a thin layer of a ferrous metal within the
base. This layer will be acted upon by the magnetic eld of the induction cooktop
to distribute heat. Tri-ply, high-quality stainless steel and cast iron cookware will
work with induction cooktops. Copper, glass and aluminum cookware will not
work unless they have a sandwiched magnetic base. Pots that function optimally
with the PIC tend to be medium to heavy gauge.
BEFORE USE:
Wipe surface with a cloth soaked in warm,
soapy water.
