PART 4: ADVICE AND TIPS
Advantages of induction cooking
Induction cooking presents an entirely new way of cooking food, where heat is generated directly in the
cookware. This delivers several advantages:
Saves time when cooking or baking because food is heated directly in the pot.
Energy savings
Easy care and cleaning because food that boils over does not bake on as quickly.
Controlled supply of energy and increased safety.
The cooktop starts or interrupts the transfer of energy immediately when the controls are used. The cooktop
interrupts the transfer of energy immediately when the cookware is taken off the cooktop without the need
for the cooktop to be manually turned off .
Suitable cookware
Ferromagnetic cookware
Only ferromagnetic cookware is suitable for induction cooking, for example:
 cast iron cookware;
 enamelled steel cookware;
 special induction cookware from stainless steel. – Special induction cookware is available where the base
is not fully magnetic. Pay attention to the diameter of the cookware, which is the sign of the cookware and
also aff ects the boiling results.
How do you determine whether the cookware is suitable or not?
To determine whether a piece of cookware is suitable, test whether the base of the cookware attracts a magnet.
Most manufacturers provide information about the suitability of their cookware for induction cooking.
The quality of the pot or pan base aff ects the boiling result. The use of pots and pans made from materials that
enable even heat distribution saves time and energy.
NOTES:
 Use cookware with a strong, fl at and smooth base, which has the same diameter as the respective
hotplate. This will reduce cooking time.
 Cookware made from steel, enamelled steel, cast iron and stainless steel (if marked appropriately by
the manufacturer) will provide the best results.
 Cookware made from enamelled steel with an aluminium or copper base may cause the adhesion of
metal residues on the hotplate. If you do not remove these residues, it will be diffi cult to remove these
residues later on. Clean the cooktop after every use.
 Place the centre of the base on to the centre of the hotplate. If the cookware is not placed correctly, it
may be damaged and the cooking result will not be ideal.
