Special containers
There are other types of containers whose base is not entirely ferromagnetic.
Before using them, check the diameter of the base and that these pans are
detected by the induction hob.
Cookware not suitable for induction
Never use containers made of normal stainless steel, glass, clay, copper, or
aluminum.
Container base features
Pay special attention to the shape of the base, as it must be completely flat. Do
not use containers with ragged edges or a curved bottom.
Make sure the base of the pan is smooth, lies flat against the glass, and is the
same size as the cooking zone. Use containers whose diameter is as large as
the graphic for the selected zone. When using a canister, slightly more energy
will be used at its maximum efficiency. If you use a smaller pot, the efficiency
may be lower than expected. Always center the pan on the cooking zone.
The base of a container can influence the distribution of heat and therefore the
cooking result. Choosing a container with a higher quality base (for example, a
sandwich type) will save us cooking time and energy.
Protect the glass surface
Always lift the cookware off the induction hob, do not slide it, as this could
scratch the glass.
Containers empty or with a very thin base
Never place an empty container on the hob and turn it on, as this can cause
the container to overheat (due to excess heat) and damage the ceramic glass
or the hob itself. If the base of the container is very thin, it can also become
overheated, refrain from using this type of container.
Container detection
The hob has a minimum detection limit of the cooking zone that varies for each
cooking zone. For this reason, you should refrain from using containers whose
base is less than the specified diameter.
