Cooking with induction

Benefits

When cooking with induction, the heat is generated
directly in the bottom of the pot. This provides many
benefits for you:
Less time spent boiling and frying. The cookware is
▯
heated directly.
Energy-saving.
▯
Easier care and cleaning Overflowing foods don't
▯
burn onto the cooktop as quickly.
Controlled heat supply and safety. The induction
▯
generates or interrupts the supply of heat immediately
after each operation. Heating is interrupted if you
remove the cookware from the cooking zone, even if
the cooking zone is still on.

Cookware

Appropriate cookware
Use only ferromagnetic dishes made of enameled steel,
cast iron or special induction dishes made of stainless
steel.
Other cookware for induction
There are other types of cookware especially made for
induction cooking whose base is not entirely
ferromagnetic.
Inappropriate cookware
Don't use cookware made of conventional stainless steel,
glass, ceramics, copper or aluminum.
Checking dishes
Your dishes are suitable if the pot or pan bottom attracts
magnets. Pot manufacturers generally indicate whether
cookware is suitable for induction cooking.
Cookware bottom
The composition of the cookware bottom can affect the
cooking result. The material of the cookware bottom
should evenly distribute the heat. A good choice is, for
instance, a sandwich bottom made of stainless steel.

When using large cookware
on a smaller ferromagnetic
area, only the ferromagnetic
zone heats up, so heat might
not be uniformly distributed.
Pans with aluminium areas
inserted in the base reduce
the ferromagnetic area, so
less heat may be supplied
and the pan may be difficult
to detect or not be detected
at all.
Empty cooking vessels or cookware with a thin bottom
WARNING
9
RISK OF BURNS
Do not heat empty cooking vessels or cookware
with a thin bottom. This may cause an empty
cooking vessel to heat up so quickly that the safety
lock isn't activated in time and a high temperature is
reached. The cookware bottom may melt and
damage the glass ceramics of the cooktop. Don't
touch the hot cooking vessel. Turn off the cooking
zone. If the cooktop doesn't work after the cooking
zone has cooled down, please call customer
service.
Pot detection
The position, size and shape of the cookware used is
automatically detected by the cooktop. Sizes with a
diameter of 3" (80mm) to 13¼" (340mm) are suitable.
Note: The cooking position indicators may differ from
the actual size and shape of the cookware. This is
normal and does not adversely affect the correct
operation of the cooktop.
