Properties
This cookware distributes the heat evenly,
heats up quickly, and ensures that it can be
detected easily.
This cookware distributes the heat evenly,
heats up quickly, and ensures that it can be
detected.
If the ferromagnetic area is smaller than the
base of the cookware, only the area that is
ferromagnetic heats up. As a result, the heat is
not distributed evenly.
These cookware bases reduce the
ferromagnetic area, which means that less
power is emitted to the cookware. This
cookware may not be sufficiently detected or
may not be detected at all, and therefore does
not heat sufficiently.
