Cooking with induction is fast, energy-efficient, and safe. But do you have the right pans in your cupboard? Not every pan works on an induction hob. In this guide, we explain what to look for when buying induction pans and which sets are essential for your kitchen.
How do you identify an induction-compatible pan?
A pan is suitable for induction if its base is magnetizable. How do you easily check this? Hold a refrigerator magnet against the bottom of the pan. Does it stick? Then the pan will work on induction.
In our webshop, all pans are marked with the induction symbol (a coil). This ensures that the pan conducts heat well.
The 3 materials that perform best on induction
- Stainless Steel (RVS): Durable and scratch-resistant. Our stainless steel frying pans are perfect for everyday use.
- Cast iron/Pressed aluminum with induction base: Retains heat extremely well. Ideal for a Dutch oven or a tagine.
- Ceramic: The best choice for those who want to cook healthily and with less fat, without PFAS.
