Can I use an induction pan on a normal hob?
Yeah sure, you can use induction cookware on an electric stove. Electric stoves work by heating the surface of the cooktop which then transfers the heat to the cookware. This means any type of cookware that can work on gas can work on an electric stove (including most that work on induction hobs).
Can induction cookware be used on ceramic cooktop?
Aluminum, ceramic, copper, and glass cookware cannot be used on an induction oven. Xtrema’s pure ceramic cookware does not contain ferromagnetic or iron materials, so it should only be used on a gas, electric, or glass top stove.
Can you use induction pans on non induction hobs?
Most steel pans and all iron ones should work on an induction stove, regardless of how they are coated. You can test this with a magnet – if it sticks, it will work.
Can induction cookware be used on glass top stove?
Not all pieces of cookware can be used on induction cooktops and stoves. Since induction technology uses the power of magnetism, the cookware piece itself must be magnetic and have a flat bottom. For this reason, cookware made from aluminum, copper, or glass, including Pyrex will not work on its own.
What happens if I use the wrong pan on an induction hob?
If you try to use a normal pot or pan on an induction hob, the hob ring won’t turn on. This is because a pan for an induction hob must be made from ferrous metal, or have a ferrous metal base. So, when the correct pan is used on an induction hob, an alternating current is passed through it, and that generates the heat.
What are the disadvantages of induction cooking?

What is better induction or ceramic hobs?
An induction hob is faster, safer and more energy-efficient than a ceramic model. The advantage of a ceramic hob is that you do not need special pans for cooking.
What happens if you use Aluminium pan on induction hob?
Aluminum or copper alone does not work on other induction cooktops because of the materials’ magnetic and electrical properties. Aluminum and copper cookware are more conductive than steel, but the skin depth in these materials is larger since they are non-magnetic.
Can you use Aluminium pans on an induction hob?
Cookware made only from glass (including Pyrex), aluminum or copper will not work on an induction hob. However, some cookware manufacturers offer aluminum or copper pans with a magnetized base that is specifically designed for induction cooktops.
