The kitchen is no longer just a place to prepare food. With the emergence of smart gadgets and innovative technologies, any kitchen can become a high-tech culinary studio where comfort meets creativity. It’s no surprise that induction hobs have taken modern kitchens by storm, offering precise heat control and fast cooking times. With one condition: you must use cookware that is compatible with this technology.
If you decide to upgrade your kitchen with an induction hob, it doesn’t mean you have to replace all your cooking pots and pans. Some of your existing cookware may still be usable. You can check which cooking pots remain in service by placing a magnet on the bottom. If the magnet sticks, the cooking pot can be safely used on the induction hob.
But you know how it is, new matches new, so if you’ve just unboxed an induction hob, why not complete the setup with a few brand-new cookware items? KitchenShop offers some great options for cooking pots, saucepans, and pans for induction hobs.
Cast iron cooking pots are naturally magnetic, making them ideal for induction hobs. They retain heat extremely well and develop a natural non-stick surface over time. Regular seasoning keeps the cast iron pan in top shape, ready to handle any culinary challenge. The durability of cast iron cookware is unmatched, making it some of the most resilient cooking pots for induction hobs.
Stainless steel cooking pots are durable, resistant to rust and stains, and an excellent choice for induction hobs. Attention! Induction cooking works by creating a magnetic field between the hob and the cooking pot, meaning that the induction cooking pot or set must have a magnetic layer. Some stainless steel cooking pots have multiple layers of metal (such as aluminium or copper) sandwiched between the stainless steel layers, which make them ideal for induction and improve heat distribution for even cooking.
Like stainless steel, aluminium is not a magnetic material, so it requires a multi-layer base, specially designed for induction. You can find aluminium cookware suitable for induction from the renowned German manufacturer AMT Gastroguss.
Before making any purchase, make sure that the desired product is compatible with the induction hob. You’ll find this information either in the product description, on its packaging, or as an international symbol engraved directly on the product.
The induction hob is a true technological gem, transforming your culinary adventures into a flawless, efficient, and enjoyable cooking experience.
