What is induction and why do you need compatible cookware?

Induction has become a staple in our modern kitchens. Quiet, fast, and economical, this technology is attracting more and more households. But to reap its full benefits, it's essential to use induction-compatible cookware . Why? We'll explain everything in this article.

What is induction cooking?

Unlike electric or ceramic hobs, induction does not use a heating element . It works thanks to a magnetic field generated by a coil placed under the hob. This magnetic field induces (hence its name) an electric current directly in the bottom of the pan, which produces heat only when it comes into contact with the container .

👉 Result: no energy loss, ultra-fast temperature rise, and increased safety.

Why do you need compatible utensils?

The secret to how induction works lies in the magnetic properties of the cookware. For a pan to be compatible with an induction hob, its base must contain a ferromagnetic material (usually magnetic stainless steel or cast iron).

If the utensil is not compatible:

  • It just won't heat up.
  • The plate may display an error message or remain off.
  • You risk damaging your plate in the long term.

How to recognize an induction-compatible utensil?

To avoid unpleasant surprises, here are 3 simple tips :

  1. Look for the "induction" pictogram (coiled spiral) on the bottom of the pan or its packaging.
  2. Test with a magnet: if it sticks firmly to the bottom, the pan is compatible.
  3. Check the manufacturer's label: brands like Menastyl clearly indicate compatibility on their product sheets.

The advantages of an induction-compatible pan

  • Fast and even heating
  • Easy to maintain
  • Energy saving
  • More durable if it is of good quality
