Induction hobs are quite in demand as 1 in every 5 homes<\/a> across the UK has installed it. But, only a specific type of cookware is induction compatible. Wondering can you use a regular pan on the induction plate? And, What Happens if You Use a Normal Pan on an Induction Hob?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, here is your quick answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The induction cooktop transfers direct heat to the pan rather than heating the surface using a magnetic field. So, if you place a normal pan on an induction hob, it will not turn on. No magnetic field will be created with regular pots and pans. So, therefore no heat will be produced to start the cooking process.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confused about what is meant by normal pans? What type of cookware is induction compatible with? And how can I know my pan is induction compatible? Well, we got you covered with detailed information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article will provide detailed information on what happens if you use a normal pan on an induction hob? Best induction cookware, And we will also let you know how to trick an induction hob? Well, for better understanding, let’s have a quickie on how induction hobs work?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Do Induction Cooktops Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Induction cooktops have a copper coil installed under the surface. Magnetic conduction is used for induction cooking. The current is converted to the “alternating current.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The heat created by a magnetic field is directly transferred to the pan rather than first heating up the surface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Happens If You Use A Normal Pan On An Induction Hob? – Detailed Answer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The rule of thumb to remember here is that magnetic conduction is used for induction cooking. So, only ferrous metal cookware works well on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing will happen if you place a regular pan on the hob ring. Due to the absence of ferrous metal, the circuit won’t complete <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the circuit for alternating current remains incomplete, the hob rings won’t turn on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is Meant By Normal Pans?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far, you may have noticed that I am constantly stating that “normal pans” are suitable for induction cooking. But what is meant by it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyday kitchen cookware, including plastic and aluminium non-stick pots, does not work for induction hobs.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Induction-compatible cookware is an essential requirement for such cooktops. Nowadays, most compatible cookware has an induction symbol<\/a><\/strong> “four-loop of wire” printed on them.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only ferrous metal pans are suitable to use on such plates. Still confused, have a look at our list of suitable cookware types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Pans Can You Use On An Induction Hob?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Well, here is your list of best induction cookware:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Pans and pots made of 100% cast iron.<\/li>
  • Magnetic stainless steel cookware.<\/li>
  • Non-Stick pans with magnetic base.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Remember, glass, pyrex, aluminium and copper cookware are not induction compatible<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
