Induction Casserole Pots: what should you pay attention to?

Induction cooking is all the rage! And we get why: cooking on induction is fast, energy-efficient, and safer than all other cooktops. But not all pots and pans are suitable for induction cooking. If you’re looking for a new casserole pot for your induction cooktop, there are a few things you should keep in mind. We’ll show you exactly what matters when buying the right induction casserole pot.

Material of the induction casserole pot

Casserole pots can be made from different materials. The most popular are Dutch Ovens, aluminum, and enamel casserole pots. Each material has its pros and cons. It’s not that one is bad or the other very good. It all depends on your personal preference and situation.

Dutch Ovens

Dutch Ovens are suitable for induction cooking; they are highly magnetic, which is essential for good heat transfer. They also retain heat well and are therefore perfect for slow cooking, like simmering and stewing. With a pan like this, you can easily let your dish simmer for hours and hours. Dutch Ovens are very durable and last a long time; at Cook and Pan, we even offer a 25-year warranty on these pots and pans. Dutch Ovens are heavy and heat up slower than other materials. But on the other hand, if you’re simmering for hours, that doesn’t really matter.

Aluminum casserole pots

Aluminum pots and pans are lighter than Dutch Ovens and heat up faster. This makes them very suitable for quicker cooking, like frying meat, fish, or vegetables. Aluminum pots and pans are less durable than Dutch Ovens but are often cheaper.

Enamel casserole pots

Enamel pots have a layer of glass on the bottom and sides, making them very durable and easy to clean. They are also suitable for induction cooking and ideal for preparing stews. Keep in mind that enamel pots are not suitable for high temperatures and cannot be used in the oven.

Of course, there are other factors to consider when choosing the right induction casserole pot for you. Besides material, we can also look at size, thickness, and handles.

Size and thickness of the casserole pot

When choosing a casserole pot, it’s important to decide what size suits you best. Which one fits your cooktop, and think about the size of the dishes you want to prepare in it. Do you make smaller dishes? Then go for a smaller casserole pot. Choosing one that’s too large can slow down the heating time. Also, it’s important to look at the thickness of the bottom. The thicker the bottom, the better the quality. Heat is distributed better and retained longer. The bottom is also less likely to warp at higher heat. All this results in more even cooking of your dishes.

Handles of the casserole pot

When choosing a casserole pot, also pay attention to the handles. Make sure the pot has sturdy handles that are easy to grip and don’t get too hot during cooking.
