6. Cookware Compatibility

The Amazon Basics Induction Cooktop requires specific types of cookware to function correctly. Induction technology works by generating a magnetic field, which directly heats compatible cookware.

6.1 Kompatibelt køkkenudstyr

• Materialer: Cast iron, enameled iron or steel, and magnetic-bottom stainless steel.
• Bottom Type: Must have a flat bottom. Curved, uneven, or rounded bottoms are not compatible.

6.2 Incompatible Cookware

• Aluminum cookware is not compatible.
• Glass, ceramic, copper, or non-magnetic stainless steel cookware will not work.

6.3 How to Test Cookware Compatibility

To check if your existing cookware is induction-ready, simply place a magnet on the bottom of the pan. If the magnet sticks firmly, the cookware is compatible. If the magnet does not stick or sticks weakly, the cookware is not suitable for induction cooking.
