PIC Gold Complete Cookbook
Induction Cooktop-Compatible Cookware
ATTENTION:
The heating surface is located inside the thicker gold ring. You may use pans
measuring up to the total width of the NuWave PIC Gold, which measures 12.3
inches, however in these situations, heat will transfer more slowly to the outer
edges. Not recommended for pans larger than 12.3 inches.
Examples of compatible cookware:
All NuWave Cookware • NuWave Duralon Ceramic Non-Stick Cookware
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 Gold:
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 efciently with the
NuWave PIC Gold.
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
NuWave PIC Gold tend to be medium to heavy gauge.
BEFORE USE:
Wipe surface with a cloth soaked in warm,
soapy water.
