Induction cooking requires cookware made with a magnetic metal, as it uses magnetic properties to generate heat. Here are the types of pots and pans that work with induction cooktops:

• Cast iron: Cast iron cookware is induction compatible and works great with induction cooking.

• Enameled cast iron: Enameled cast iron cookware is also induction compatible and works well with induction cooking.

• Stainless steel: Many types of stainless steel cookware are induction compatible, but not all. Stainless steel cookware with a high nickel content will block the magnetic field and wont work with induction cooking. To check if your stainless steel cookware is compatible, perform the magnet test.

• Magnetic stainless steel: Magnetic stainless steel cookware is specifically designed for induction cooking and works well with induction cooktops.

• Carbon steel: Carbon steel cookware is induction compatible and works well with induction cooking.

• Nickel: Cookware made from nickel is induction compatible and works well with induction cooking.

• Porcelain enamel on metal: Porcelain enamel cookware will work on an induction cooktop as long as the base material of the cookware is magnetic metal.

• Copper-bottomed: Copper-bottomed cookware will work on an induction cooktop if it has a magnetic layer on the bottom.

Here are the types of pots and pans that do not work with induction cooktops:

• Clay, glass, and 100% aluminum, copper, and non-magnetic stainless steel: These materials wont work on induction cooktops unless they have a layer on the bottom with magnet...
