Which pots and pans for induction? Here's what you need to watch out for.

“I want to buy a cookware set for induction… Which pots and pans are suitable for induction?” A question we get often! Makes sense, of course, you always want to avoid making a bad purchase and we totally get that. We’re happy to help you make the best choice when it comes to buying your new favorite induction pots and pans.

If you want to cook on induction, your pan needs to have a bottom that is magnetizable and conductive, a flat bottom is also a plus. Pots and pans with a thick bottom made of multiple layers warp less easily. Pots and pans suitable for induction can be recognized by a spiral symbol on the pan or packaging. With a trusted company, this will also be mentioned in the product description.

What should good induction pots and pans meet?

Good induction pots and pans of good quality are heavy enough not to shift easily. This way they don’t slide off the stove quickly and you can cook safely without the pan losing balance and falling off the stove, so they need to be well balanced. Whatever kind of induction pots and pans you use, they can easily cause scratches on your induction cooktop, so be careful not to cause any scratches. It’s also important to have the right induction bottom on the induction cookware set. The best induction pots and pans have a so-called “sandwich bottom”. That means the bottom consists of multiple metal layers to conduct heat as well as possible. Furthermore, a good induction pan should have a non-stick coating without harmful substances, with Cook and Pan you don’t have to worry about this, all pots and pans are 100% free of toxic substances like PFAS and Teflon. Good induction pots and pans must be dishwasher safe and easy to clean. Our induction cookware set Signature is a perfect combination of induction, safe non-stick coating and 30% more energy efficient for cooking. Because the pots and pans are up to 30% more energy efficient, this also makes it a good investment.

Testing cookware sets for induction

Which pots and pans are suitable for induction? If you want to test a cookware set for induction, you can do that yourself. Here’s how to test which pots and pans are suitable for induction: If you stick a magnet to the bottom, then the pan is magnetizable and you can cook with it on induction. The bottom of the pan can be damaged if you have used it on gas. This can make the pan less magnetic due to residue on the bottom from the flame, and it can also cause scratches on the new cooktop. You can do a damage test by taking a newspaper and placing the pan on it; if you move the newspaper and it tears, then you cannot use the pan on the induction plate. If the pots and pans pass the test, you can use them on an induction cooktop. Keep checking whether the pots and pans without a thick bottom warp or not. So the answer to the question which pots and pans are suitable for induction is easy to check with a magnet. If you want to order an induction pan online?

Why cook on induction:

Cooking on induction plates is safer than cooking on gas because the plate itself hardly gets hot and cools down quickly after use. The cooking zones only respond when there is a pan on them. Without a pan, the cooktop does not get hot. You don’t risk accidentally leaving the gas on.

Advantages of cooking on induction

• You can control the temperature precisely and quickly with induction. Another advantage is that with induction cooktops you can set the cooking time very precisely, so you can fry and roast like a pro!
• There are no flames, so no gases are released, the air in your home is cleaner.
• The induction plate hardly gets warm and cools down quickly after use, making it safer to cook on induction than on gas.
• The cooking zones only respond when there is a pan on them. If the pan is not there, the plate is not hot!
