What pans work on induction?

Cooking on induction is becoming the norm for many households, yet there’s still a lot of people wondering whether the move to induction is right for them. After all, replacing your whole cooktop with a brand new, induction hob can be a costly experience – but it’s one that offers improved energy efficiency and reduced costs.

What is an induction hob?

An induction hob looks like an electric hob but has coils beneath its surface to induce an electrical current. This electrical current is used to generate heat to the pan placed on top of the induction hob, and unlike any other hob, the surface remains cool to the touch and only heats up the induction compatible pan on top. Not only does this offer an extra level of safety, but it also means less energy is used.

The benefits of induction:

  • Energy efficient

  • Precise and responsive

  • Easy to clean

  • Modern look and feel

  • Auto shut off when no induction-friendly pan is on top

What are the best pans for induction hobs?

Pans built for induction hob use are the best pans. Without induction-friendly pans, you may experience hot spots from conductivity issues (or they won’t work at all).

Induction compatible cookware will have the induction logo on its packaging, so keep an eye out for this when buying new pans. If you’re unsure on whether your existing cookware is induction friendly, you can always test whether the pan’s base is attracted to a magnet – if the magnet clings firmly, then the pan will work on an induction hob.

Can you use induction pans on gas hobs?

Yes, you can use induction pans on gas.

All our pans are built with induction compatibility in mind, featuring a fully magnetic base that eliminates hotspots. You can use each of our cookware ranges on induction hobs as well as gas, electric and ceramic. So, if you don’t have an induction hob yet but plan on making the move soon, we’re ready when you are.
