6. Pentole compatibili

Induction cooktops require specific types of cookware. The base of the pot or pan must be made of a ferromagnetic material (magnetic) to allow the induction field to generate heat. The base should also be flat for optimal contact and efficiency.

• Materiali compatibili: Ghisa, ferro smaltato e acciaio inossidabile con base magnetica.
• Materiali incompatibili: Aluminum, copper, glass, ceramic, and non-magnetic stainless steel.
• Base per pentole: The base of the cookware should be flat and cover a significant portion of the cooking zone for efficient heating.
• Magnet Test: To check if your cookware is compatible, place a magnet on its base. If the magnet sticks, the cookware is suitable for induction.
