Helpful hints and tips

Cookware for induction cooking zones

In induction cooking a powerful electromagnetic field generates an almost instant heat inside the cookware.

Cookware material

• correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel, stainless steel, a multi-layer bottom (marked as correct by a manufacturer).
• not correct: aluminium, copper, brass, glass, ceramic, porcelain.

Cookware is correct for an induction hob if ...

• ... some water boils very quickly on a zone set to the highest heat setting
• ... a magnet pulls on to the bottom of the cookware.

The bottom of the cookware must be as thick and flat as possible.

Heat setting Automatic switch off timer

1 - 2 6 hours

3 - 4 5 hours

5 4 hours

6 - 9 1.5 hours

Cookware dimensions: induction cooking zones adapt to the dimension of the bottom of the cookware automatically to some limit. But the minimum diameter of the magnetic part of the bottom of the cookware is in relation to the diameter of the cooking zone:

Cooking zone Minimum diameter of cookware

Front 120 mm

Rear 145 mm

Energy saving

• If possible, always put the lids on the cookware.
• Put cookware on a cooking zone before you start it.
