How to determine the dimensions of your pots and pans for induction
- The cooking zones automatically adjust to the diameter of the pan to some extent.
- The base of the specific pot or pan must, however, have a minimum diameter (+/- 60%) in relation to the diameter of the chosen cooking zone.
- We recommend placing the pot or pan right in the middle of the cooking zone to get the best output from your hob.
- Ratio of pan diameter to element diameter
The ferromagnetic bottom is too far from the element:
- Ferromagnetism= this refers to substances such as iron, nickel and other substances that can be very strongly magnetised by quite weak magnetic forces
- This can reduce efficiency.
- The response time may be less good.
- Poor quality pots or pans:
- Water boils poorly on one side.
- The other side stays cold.
- This leads to poor cooking results.
- Bottom of the saucepan is hollow or has a deep logo stamp:
- Overheating occurs in areas that do come into contact with the glass.
- Poor cooking results.
- The temperature probe measures the wrong values.
- The safety maximum of 240°C is not reached in the middle of the pot or pan (or only after a long time).
- So the base can reach temperatures of 500°C and damage the electronics.
