Why Induction Cooking Takes Your Kitchen to the Next Level

Induction cooking is the upgrade your kitchen deserves. Super fast, energy-efficient, and safe – your pan gets hot, but your hob doesn't. Perfect for busy days and slow Sundays. Thanks to magnetic technology, the pan heats up itself, without energy loss. The result? Tightly controlled cooking, less waste, and more grip on your dish.

How an Induction Cooking Pot Works: Magnetic Magic

Induction sounds high-tech, but it's actually very logical. Under your hob, there's a coil that generates a magnetic field. If you put a pan with a magnetisable base on it (such as stainless steel or Dutch oven), heat is created directly inside the pan. No flames, no delay – just pure power where you need it.

Check If Your Pan Is Suitable for Induction

Are you in doubt? Grab a magnet. Does it stick to the bottom of your pan? Bingo. No click? No induction. Only pans with a flat, ferromagnetic base can join this party. If you try it with an unsuitable pan, nothing happens... except frustration.

Which Material Matches Your Cooking Style?

Not every pan is induction-proof, and not every material suits your cooking rhythm. An overview:

• Stainless steel – Tough, durable, scratch-resistant, and great for high temperatures.
• Dutch oven – Retains heat like a campfire, ideal for slow-cooking and stews.
• Aluminium with induction base – Lightweight multitasker with rapid heating.

Please note: glass, copper, or pure aluminium without an induction base? Nice as decoration, less nice on an induction hob.

Tips for Choosing Your Ideal Induction Cooking Pot

Are you in a pan-ic? Don't worry. Pay attention to these points and you'll score a winner:

• Diameter: make sure your pan fits well on your cooking zone (20 to 28 cm is ideal).
• Handle: sturdy, cool-staying, and comfortable in your hand.
• Lid: glass for overview, stainless steel for heat retention.
• Non-stick coating: handy with little fat, but take good care of it.
• Budget: investing pays off – a good pan lasts for years.

How to Keep Your Induction Cooking Pot Like New

Long live your pan? You arrange that like this:

• Clean by hand (especially with non-stick).
• No steel or abrasives, but soft sponges.
• Use wooden or silicone spatulas.
• Store with pan protectors against scratches.
• Don't stack if your pan doesn't like it.

Good maintenance = longer cooking pleasure. And that's what we want.

Frequently Asked Questions (and Handy Answers)

Why does my pan make noise on induction?
That's due to vibrations in the pan base – usually harmless.

Can an induction pan be used on gas?
Yes, if your pan is sturdy and the base is thick enough. Otherwise, rather not.

What is the ideal thickness of the base?
Between 4-6 mm for a nice balance between fast and even heating.

How long does an induction cooking pot last?
With good maintenance: years. And we're not talking about two, but ten (or more).
