Quick ANSWER!"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Traditional copper pans are often used in kitchens across the UK. But is copper induction compatible? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re searching \u201cdo cooper pans work on a ceramic induction hob<\/a><\/strong>?\u201d Then, here\u2019s the information we don\u2019t want you to miss:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cookware made of 100% copper is not compatible with an induction hob. Copper pans with magnetic grade steel cladding are suitable for induction cooking. A converter plate is another way to use non-ferrous copper pans on such hobs.\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All non-ferrous metals<\/a>, including copper, are not induction compatible. Because they lack a certain amount of iron to create the magnetic field on induction cooktops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we will also guide you on how to trick the induction hob and make copper cookware compatible with it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do Copper Pans Work On Induction?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No, traditional copper pans don\u2019t work on induction. Induction hobs work and cook food by making a magnetic field.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the magnetic cooking, induction hobs are only compatible with ferrous metals and pots with magnetic or iron cladding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Don\u2019t Copper Pans Work On Induction Hobs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pans with a ferrous metal base are compatible with induction cooktops. Copper cookware lack any amount of iron or magnetic material in them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The coil in induction hobs transfer alternating current to the magnetic field. The circuit won\u2019t be complete as copper doesn\u2019t have any magnet or cast iron mixture.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is It Possible To Trick Induction Cooktops?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes, it is possible.<\/strong> You can cook in cooper or non-ferrous cookware using a \u201cconverter plate.\u201dSuch converter plates are made of iron or magnetic grade steel.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You need to place converter plates underneath the non-compatible cookware. You can use cookware on any type of hob<\/a> without worry with a converter disc.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Do You Use Non-Induction Cookware On Induction Cooktops?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are two ways:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Magnetic Cladding <\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Converter Plate<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The common way is using a converter plate. Induction converter plates are placed underneath the non-compatible cookware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Induction Hob Converter Plate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Converter discs are the most convenient to use induction hobs. But they can get very hot quickly and damage the glass top. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    ProCook and VonShef are two commonly used converter discs. Such converter plates help to use the normal pan on an induction hob<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
