INDUCTION COOKING
WHAT IS INDUCTION COOKING? • INDUCTION-READY COOKWARE
What is Induction Cooking?
The Nuwave PIC Double uses induction
coils that generate magnetic elds to
produce a warming reaction in steel and
iron-based pots and pans. This generates
heat in the cookware, not on the cooktop
surface, which offers a number of great
benets:
• Energy Conservation: The magnetic
field, generated by each copper coil,
causes invisible molecules in the
cookware to begin vibrating rapidly,
creating heat, so the cookware itself
heats the food. The Nuwave PIC
Double is one of the most energy-
efcient cooktops available today,
which means that cooking with the PIC
Double can translate into savings on
your monthly utility bills.
• Safety: The Nuwave PIC Double’s
design uses no red hot coils or open
ames, essentially eliminating the risk
of re. Automatic shut-off features
enhance the cooktop’s safety. Simply
Touch and Go! Users can also take
the ice cube challenge! Induction
technology warms the pan, but the
surface remains cool to the touch.
• Fast Cooking: Heating is immediate
and temperature is precise with the
Nuwave PIC Double. Features 6
different temperature settings that are
adjustable in 5-degree increments.
There’s no guessing!
• Easy to Clean: Spills won’t burn and
stick to the cooktop surface. Just wipe
and go!
Induction-Ready Cookware
Induction technology is based on a magnetic
eld distributing heat through ferrous (iron-
based, magnetic) metal. Some cookware
is 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. Examples of
compatible cookware include:
• All Nuwave Cookware, Nuwave
Duralon
®
Healthy Ceramic Non-Stick
Cookware
• Cast iron
• Enameled iron and steel
• Stainless-steel with a magnetic base
Incompatible cookware includes:
• Copper
• Glass
• Aluminum
• Pottery-type vessels
Checking Induction Compatibility
There are three simple ways to check
if your existing pots and pans, or future
cookware purchases, are compatible with
the PIC Double:
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,
sometimes a cooking vessel’s magnetic
properties are not strong enough to
work efficiently with the PIC Double.
2. Place a small amount of water in a
pot or pan and place it on the PIC
Double while operating. If it is induction
compatible, water will begin to boil.
3. An induction-ready symbol may be
printed on the bottom of the cookware.
