Benefits of Induction Surface Cooking
Speed and Efficiency
Induction cooking elements heat faster and use less energy.
Induction power levels quickly boil liquids and are efficient
when simmering.
A Cooler Cooktop
Whether induction cooking elements are turned on or off, they
remain cooler than radiant elements. Virtually no heat is wasted
because the heat begins with the presence of cookware.
Easy Cleanups
Cooler cooking elements make for easier cleaning. Spills resist
sticking or burning so they wipe up easily.
Pan Size Detection
A sensor automatically detects and adapts the induction
cooking element to the pan size in use for more consistent,
even cooking.
Greater Responsiveness
Induction cooking elements are more responsive than their
electric or gas counterparts because only the pan heats.
Induction elements heat more easily and are just as responsive
when reducing temperatures to a simmer.

NOTA
Before using the induction cooking elements, carefully
read and follow these cookware recommendations and the
instructions in the pan sensing sections.
When purchasing pans for use on the induction cooktop, look
for cookware identified by the manufacturer as "induction
ready" or "induction capable", or that is marked by the
manufacturer as specifically designed for induction cooking.
The base material of the cookware must be magnetic for the
cooking elements to activate. Use a magnet to check if the
cookware base material is suitable. If the magnet sticks to
the bottom of the cookware, the cookware can be used for
induction cooking.
For the best possible surface cooking results, use only high-
quality, heavy gauge steel cookware on the induction cooking
elements. Follow manufacturer's recommendations when using
induction cookware.
Induction Cookware Types
The three most common induction cookware types available
are stainless steel, cast iron, and porcelain-enamel-coated
metals.
• Stainless Steel is generally excellent for induction cooking.
It is durable, easy to clean, and resists staining.
NOTA
Not all stainless steel cookware is magnetic; stainless
steel is not always suitable for induction cooking.
• Cast iron cooks evenly and is also good for induction
cooking. Do not slide cast iron cookware on the cooktop;
cast iron cookware with a rough surface will scratch the
ceramic cooktop.
• Porcelain-enamel-coated metals have variable heating
characteristics depending on the quality of the base metal.
Make sure the porcelain-enamel coating is smooth to avoid
scratching the ceramic cooktop.
