Induction cooking requires cookware made with a magnetic metal, as it uses magnetic properties to generate heat. Here are some types of cookware that work on induction cooktops:
- Cast iron
- Enameled cast iron
- Stainless steel (with some exceptions)
- Magnetic stainless steel
- Carbon steel
- Nickel
- Enameled iron
Its important to note that not all stainless steel is magnetic, so its important to check the label or perform the magnet test to ensure compatibility. Additionally, aluminum, all-copper, or glass cookware will not work unless they have a layer on the bottom with magnetic properties. Clay, 100% aluminum, copper, and non-magnetic stainless steel are not compatible with induction cooktops.
