Frying pan induction

A frying pan for induction that delivers every day

Induction cooking calls for a frying pan that keeps up directly: quick response to temperature changes, a flat base and a ferromagnetic plate that captures the magnetic field optimally. Cook & Pan frying pans for induction are built exactly that way. No heat loss, no half-cooked edges and no unpleasant buzz from the hob.

What makes a frying pan induction-ready?

A frying pan works on induction if its base is ferromagnetic. If a magnet sticks to the bottom, the hob's magnetic field grips the pan and generates heat directly in the material. At Cook & Pan that is built in: every frying pan has an integrated magnetic base. Quick response on a low setting, stable temperature on a high one.

Materials for an induction frying pan

Which material works best depends on what you want to cook. Our induction frying pans come in three material families:

• Aluminium with ceramic non-stick coating: light in weight, fast to heat, smooth non-stick without PFAS. Our most-sold variant, great for egg, omelette, pancake and daily use. See the variant in the frying pan with ceramic coating collection.
• 3-ply stainless steel: quick heat response, scratch-resistant and easy to maintain. Perfect for steak and vegetables with crisp edges.
• Cast iron: retains heat steadily, perfect for longer cooking such as steak or fried potatoes.

Size choice: 20, 24 or 28 cm on induction

Your frying pan size should match your cooking zone. A pan too small is not always picked up by zone detection, a pan too large wastes energy on cold edges. For 1-2 people 20 cm is enough, for everyday family use 24 cm is ideal, and for large groups or pancakes 28 cm is the way. Many induction hobs have multiple zone sizes so combining works fine.

Works on gas, ceramic and electric too

A frying pan for induction is not for induction only. Our pans work just as well on gas, ceramic and electric hobs. Handy when you move house, cook at family gatherings or stay in a holiday home with a different cooker.

PFAS-free, also on induction

There is no pan with PFAS, PFOA or Teflon in our entire frying pan range. Want the full overview of PFAS-free options? Browse the frying pan without PFAS collection for the focused selection.

Saving energy: frying pan plus induction

A good frying pan on induction saves up to 30% energy compared with cooking on gas or conventional electric. The difference comes from direct heat transfer: you do not heat air or a plate, only the base of the pan. With a flat base in full contact with the zone, you get the most out of every watt.

Maintenance for daily use

An induction frying pan stays flat for years with the right care. Hand-wash with a soft sponge and lukewarm water keeps the base in top shape. Avoid cold water on a glowing-hot pan: thermal shock risk is higher on induction than on gas because the base gets hotter. Do not stack pans without a cloth between them, that scratches the coating.

Who is a frying pan for induction for?

• The everyday cook: egg, omelette, vegetables on medium heat, day in day out.
• The switcher: moved to a home with induction and stuck with pans that no longer grip.
• The energy-conscious cook: wants to cook faster with fewer watts on the meter.
