Induction cooking panels have long been unconscious to the Russians. But myths about what kind of utensils are suitable for them, and what is not, still abound. We put all the points above and.

Primary requirements
The walls of the dishes can be made of anything. The whole question is what is her bottom. Induction cooking panels should be in contact with material having ferromagnetic properties. Simply put, the bottom of the frying pan, a kettle or other tank for cooking should attract a magnet. If you put the usual pan, the stove does not respond to it and does not work.

In this and the highlight of induction panels: they do not heat themselves, but only transmit heat to the subject that creates a certain magnetic field in a pair. So it is possible to put anything on a working burner without consequences, even hand.

The bottom must necessarily be thick. Thin metal when heated can be deformed and lightened to the burner. Induction stove will respond to this frightening noise or a crack. Many buyers then write on the Internet defeat comments on the slate itself, but the reason is only in the wrong dishwasher.

The structure of the bottom is important. It can be solid - from cast iron or steel (and again thick).

And may have several layers from different materials. The composition of this "cake" is different. Some manufacturers are limited to three "layers", which includes a ferromagnetic alloy for contact with a stove, aluminum for good thermal conductivity and the inner layer from the same material as the walls of the product.
Someone adds a non-stick coating, and someone - embeds the anti-informational disc to ensure the perfect fit to the surface of the stove.

The diameter of the bottom is extremely important for induction. If he is smaller than the burner, the stove will not turn on.

Adapters for dishes
It is not necessary to dispose of dishes if it does not fall under the description. And from your beloved coffee in a small Turk, you can also not refuse. There are adapters, or adapters on sale. These are special discs that have the necessary properties for contact with induction plates, consist of the necessary alloys and have an optimal thickness. Prices are different - depending on the material, manufacturer, diameter and design. But they will still be cheaper than a set of good new dishes.

And if there is at least one piece of suitable size, then the jam can be put right on it. True, the drink will be slow.

In order not to spend extra money, it makes sense to test the existing pots and pans for their compatibility with this type of plates. For example, the cast iron will definitely be the green light. However, it is worth remembering that this material is heavy and fragile. Therefore, if you drop the product, it can break and damage the plate. And it is heated for a long time, but it is well kept warm.

Enameled stainless steel cookware can also be suitable if it has a thick bottom, and it is magnetic. But usually the necessary parameters of the bottom manufacturers are laid in special dishes for induction plates. Therefore, if there are doubts, the first time follows how food behaves on the "fire": on the thin day the food will quickly burn.

Enamel has an unpleasant feature: it is easily chips. If this happened, the dishes can not be put on the furnace.
What kind of dishes does not fit
Simple aluminum dishes, including a thick bottom, since this metal is usually not magnetic. However, there is an aluminum dishes with the inscription "suitable for induction plates" or with the image of the spiral at the bottom.

But, even if the corresponding designation is present, it is impossible to cook with sour food and cannot be stored in such a glassware, otherwise it will become "unprepaid".
It is useless to conduct experiments with ordinary ceramic, glass, copper dishes - and indeed with anyone that cannot be magnetized. If you really like these materials, you can buy a new dishes of them, but with the image of the spiral. This means that the manufacturer takes care of the correct filling of the bottom.
Difficulties in terminology
In the network, induction plates are often compared with glass-ceramic. However, they are not correctly opposed. The glass ceramic is the material of the plate surface. Millions of induction in the world are made from it. Occasionally make them from ceramics or stainless steel.

In addition to induction, the glass-ceramic panels put on electric stoves with other type of heating: spiral, infrared, Hi-Light.
How to save the surface of the hob
The product must have a smooth bottom. And this is another reason why enamel dishes with chips are contraindicated for a new generation of plates. The appearance of any roughness, including the escaped and dried porridge, should be avoided.
It is impossible to use the "Intensive heating" function too often, so as not to spoil the enameled dishes, and with it, possibly the burner.
Adapter disks are recommended to be used only on high-quality cooking surfaces, because strong heating of this item and its long-term contact with the stove can damage the top of the device.
