INDUCTION COOKING
In induction cooking, when a cast iron pan, or any pan that has steel in it, is placed above the
inductionzonethegeneratorundertheglassproducesamagneticeldthatinstantlygenerates
heat in the steel. Induction cooking will not work with aluminum, copper or glass pots.
COOKWARE
Inductiononlyworkswithcookwaremadeofferrousmetals-metalstowhichmagnetswillstick
such as cast iron and magnetic stainless steel, and will not work with aluminum or other metals.
TotestyourcookwareforinductioncookingsimplyplaceyourKenyonmagnetonthebottomof
thepotorpanandseeifitsticks.Ifthemagnetdoesnotsticktoyourcookwareitwillnotwork.
Usecookwarethatwillttheburnersizeandhasaatbottom.Byusingcookwarewiththe
correctdiameter,youshouldachievemaximumheatingefciencywiththeshortestpossible
boiling times.
Becertainthatboththecooktoppanelandthebottomofyourpotsandpansarecleananddry
beforeuse.Bydoingso,youwillhelppreventscratchesandstains.
BENEFITS OF INDUCTION COOKING
Oncetheappropriatecookwareisplacedonthesurfaceandturnedon,heatisimmediately
generated. The SilKEN

moreevenlythanradiantstovetops,andoffersquick,netemperatureadjustment.
Bywayofbackground,inductioncookingisthemostenergyefcientmethodofcooking.The
magneticenergyisdirectlysuppliedtothecookwareso85%to90%oftheelectricalpower
applied to the cooktop is used to generate heat in the cooking vessel.
