Do you have a new induction hob? Or, are you planning on buying one? More importantly, did you know that not all kitchen cookware will work on an induction hob? This kitchen appliance uses a non-traditional type of magnetic heat to cook food and improve user experience, too. So, what saucepans work on induction hobs? Without giving too much away, any pan that has a magnetic base<\/strong> will do.<\/p>\n

This article gives in-depth information on what types of pans work best on an induction hob, what pans won’t work at all, and some other helpful tips, as wells as a quick and easy test you can try on any piece of cookware in your kitchen.<\/p>\n

What Is Induction Cooking?<\/h2>\n

\"aUnlike gas or electric hobs that utilise an exposed flame or electric element, induction cooking<\/a> works by using magnetic coils beneath a ceramic glass surface to heat and cook food. An induction ring creates a magnetic field that transfers energy (or heat) to your cookware to execute the induction cooking process.<\/p>\n

This improved functionality significantly enhances the user experience and also conserves energy.<\/p>\n

Benefits of Using an Induction Hob<\/h2>\n

Aside from sounding and looking sleek and impressive, induction hobs also come with a lot of benefits compared to electric or gas hobs.<\/p>\n

Induction hobs are more efficient compared to other hobs. They have an even heat distribution that uses 90% of the energy<\/strong> they produce, unlike other hob types that let a significant amount of heat escape around the pans and pots. This also allows you to control the temperature of the induction plate more easily and efficiently.<\/p>\n

The ability to use more power means induction hobs can achieve a much higher temperature and can cook foods faster<\/strong>. For example, water boils on an induction surface about 50% faster than on electric or gas hobs.<\/p>\n

Pots, pans, and the cooking surface on an induction hob stay fairly cool even while in use, which improves safety<\/strong> overall.<\/p>\n

Induction hobs have a smooth, easy-to-clean cooking surface<\/a>. And since the top doesn’t get hot, accidental spills and messes won’t bake on to the heat source like with other cooking methods.<\/p>\n
