Induction cooking is fast, energy-efficient and safe. But do you have the right pans in your cupboard? Not every pan works on an induction hob. In this guide, we explain what to look for when buying induction pans and which sets are essential for your kitchen.
How to recognize an induction-compatible pan?
A pan is suitable for induction if the base is magnetic. How can you easily check this? Hold a refrigerator magnet against the bottom of the pan. Does it stick? Then the pan works on induction.
In our webshop, all pans feature the induction symbol (a coil). This way, you can be sure that the pan conducts heat effectively.
The 3 materials that perform best on induction
- Stainless steel: Durable and scratch-resistant. Our stainless steel frying pans are perfect for everyday use.
- Cast iron/Pressed aluminium with induction base: Retains heat extremely well. Ideal for a roasting pan or a tagine.
- Ceramic: The best choice for those who want to cook healthily with less fat, without PFAS.
The 'Basic 3' that every induction cook should have at home
Want to complete your pan collection? With these three pans, you can tackle any recipe:
- The Frying Pan (24-28cm): For eggs, meat and vegetables.
- The Saucepan with lid: The ultimate all-rounder for one-pot meals and reheating sauces.
- The Cooking Pot (set): For pasta, rice and soups.
For example, compare the Cheffinger honeycomb frying pan 28 cm for induction with a complete Cheffinger 10-piece pan set. Also check the diameter of the pan base and your cooking zones.
