Not all pots and pans will work with an induction stove. But those that do all have one trait in common. Chef Degen shows the foolproof trick in knowing whether a pot or pan is induction ready.

Important factor to consider before buying an induction stove: burner size. It matters--A LOT. On most lower end stoves the largest burner you'll get is 6". Since induction burners only heat the area of the pan making contact with the burner surface, this means trouble for 12" skillets, which typically have a 9" bottom diameter. The central area of the pan will heat nicely, but the outer area will not. If you want to get 12" burners, count on spending big bucks, like $5,000 and up.

I'm a total noob to induction, read a lot and decided it might be time to switch, so your video made me hunt down a magnet, I tested first my favorite cookware and to my surprise my prized go-to pan for cooking Indian food yielded a fail!!! It's a big stainless pan that appears to be double clad (or has a thick clad bottom). My curiosity right now is finding out what is most effective and efficient with induction stove tops.

I’ve had similar experiences, being surprised at pans of mine that do and do not work with induction. When I do use induction (a portable unit since my home stove is gas), I most often grab cast iron. All its ferrous material makes it wonderful for that.

Alternating Supply, creates an alternating magnetic field which goes through the pan. Alternating magnetic fields through the pan would continuously change in strength. This strength change ("Change in magnetic flux"), induces an EMF on the Pan. This EMF causes current to flow, which heats the pan up.

@@IWantToCook The amount of ferrous material definitely does influence the performance. I have a pan that is magnetic, but less so than cast iron, and it works, but it makes a buzzing noise when on the burner which often indicates a low iron content, and it does not heat up very quickly.

@mencken8 2 жыл бұрын

There is little question that quantity of ferrous material in the base of the pan has an effect. I have a T-Fal nonstick skillet that is basically aluminum, but has a ferrous disk molded into the base. It works on our GE Profile induction range, but only on the small coils, and does not heat up nearly as quickly as a Cuisinart saucepan or a small Circulon nonstick skillet. A magnet will stick to all of these, but there is a clear difference in performance.

I have an induction hob and tried my thinnish Ikea pan to cook hard boiled eggs, after it started to boil I reduced the heat to a slow boil but it would only work in pulses - on/off no perceivable boiling then a 5 second burst when it would boil madly and splash water onto the hob. It didn't matter which heat level I chose. I went and bought a heavy bottom pan from Soltam, it was quite expensive but the difference was vast - total control over the heat range, no more pulsing and splashing

1 thing you forgot to mention: It is not a good idea to use Pots/pans that where previously used on Gas, to use them on induction. {Cast iron excluded} Since the heat of the Flame can warp the pan, causing it to damage the Glass cooktop. Cast iron is excluded since it is nearly impossible to warp due heat

@darknessblades 3 жыл бұрын

@@IWantToCook it is quite commonly known for those that use induction. the only thing that you do have to watch out with Cast iron is that the bottom is still smooth/ in good condition. those Emailed ones are the best, since you have a nice smooth surface. Most normal cast iron pots/pans are a bit rough on the bottom causing scratches. Where i live, integrated counter-top stoves are more common, so if a induction stove is damaged you only change the hob, not a entire stove/oven combination. Not forgetting that its much much cheaper and easier in maintenance than a standard free standing stove

@IWantToCook 3 жыл бұрын

It will really depend on the pan and lid. In general, I’ve found that most pans that work on induction range are also oven-safe. The thing to look out for are plastic handles - those don’t do well in an oven. As for the glass lid, that will also depend on the manufacturer, but the fact it’s tempered is a good sign. If possible, I still recommend using metal lids in the oven. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!

Thanks for the video. Does the magnet have to have a very tight bond, or can it be a weak bond and the pan still cook well?

@IWantToCook 3 жыл бұрын

Good question. I’m not totally sure, but if I were to speculate, I’d say a weak bond would indicate less ferrous material in the pan. That, in turn, might mean less efficient heating. If you have the choice, go with a pan in which the magnetic bonds tight.

@leaxander6850 2 жыл бұрын

okay so I think I know the answer. So basically the pot isn’t actually a magnet, it just reacts to the magnet. The strength of the bond is decided by the magnet itself. However there aren’t actually magnets in your induction hob. It is made up of spirals wich creates a magnetic field because electricity is pumped through it. That magnetic field reaches through the glass barrier of the hob and into the pot where it makes the electrons in the pot wiggle a bunch(because the direction in wich electricity is pumped through alternates like 20000 in a second. That is what is called current.)wich creates kinetic energy (heat) and that heat can be used for cooking. Also if this isn’t an understandable answer I‘m sorry. English isn’t my first language
