Which pans for induction? Here's what you need to consider.

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

If you want to cook on induction, your pan must have a bottom that is magnetizable and conductive; a flat bottom is also a plus. Pans that have a thick bottom with several layers are less likely to warp. Pans suitable for induction can be recognized by a spiral symbol on the pan or packaging. With a trusted company, this would also be stated in the product description.

What should good induction pans meet?

Good induction pans of good quality are heavy enough not to shift easily. This prevents it from sliding off the stove quickly, and you can cook safely without the pan becoming unbalanced and falling off the stove, so they must be well-balanced. No matter what kind of induction pans you use, they can quickly cause scratches on your induction hob, so keep a close eye on preventing scratches. It is also important to have the right induction bottom on the induction cookware set. The best induction pans have a so-called "sandwich bottom". This means that the bottom consists of multiple metal layers to conduct heat as well as possible. Furthermore, a good induction pan must have a non-stick coating without harmful substances; with Cook and Pan, you don't have to worry about this, as all pans are 100% free of toxic substances such as PFAS and Teflon. Good induction 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 cooking. Because the pans are up to 30% more energy-efficient, this also makes it a good investment.

Test Cooking cookware set for induction

Which pans are suitable for induction? If you want to test a cookware set for induction, you can also do it yourself. Here's how you test which 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 may be affected if you have used it on gas. As a result, the pan may be less magnetic due to the deposit on the bottom from the fire, and this can also scratch the new hob. You can do a damage test by taking a newspaper and putting the pan on it; if you move the newspaper and it tears, then you cannot use the pan on the induction hob. If the pans pass the test, you can use them on an induction hob. Keep checking whether the pans without a thick bottom warp or not. The answer to the question of which pans are suitable for induction is therefore easy to check with a magnet. Would you like to order an induction pan online?

Still hesitating about induction cooking?

Why cook on induction:

Cooking on induction hobs is safer than cooking on gas because the hob itself hardly gets hot and cools down quickly after use. The cooking zones only react when there is a pan on them. Without a pan, the hob does not get hot. You don't run the risk of accidentally leaving the gas on.

Advantages of cooking on induction

• You can regulate the temperature precisely and quickly with induction. Another advantage is that with induction hobs, you can set the duration very precisely, so you can bake and roast like a pro!
• There are no flames, so no gases are released, and the air in your house is cleaner.
• The induction hob hardly gets hot and cools down quickly after use, so it is safer to cook on induction than on gas.
• The cooking zones only react when there is a pan on them. If the pan is not on it, then you don't have a hot hob!
• No risk of gas that you can accidentally leave on.
• Induction is the most economical form of cooking: you have an energy loss of 10-20 percent compared to natural gas, which is 40 to even 50 percent. Due to the material choice of our honey frying pans, there is even an additional energy saving of 30% because the bottom is perfectly adjusted in terms of size and material use.
• The gas bill will therefore immediately go down, and you will save money with the high energy prices. A smart investment that you will quickly earn back.
• An induction hob is easy to clean and maintain.
