Appropriate containers for induction
Ferromagnetic containers
Suitable for induction cooking, containers are those made of ferromagnetic
material. They can be enamelled steel, cast iron or special dishes for induction
stainless steel. To find out if a container is suitable for induction cooking, check
that they are attracted by a magnet.
Special containers
Other types of containers whose base is not entirely ferromagnetic. Before use
check the diameter of the base and that these containers are detected by the
induction plate.
Containers not suitable for induction
Never use normal stainless steel containers, glass, clay, copper, or aluminum.
Features of the container base
The base of a container can influence heat distribution and consequently the
result of cooking. Choosing a container with a higher quality base (eg
sandwich) will save us time and energy cooking.
Pay special attention to the shape of the base, since it must be completely flat.
If you have a small curvature or bulge, heat losses and therefore produce more
cooking time and a considerable increase in energy expenditure.
Empty containers or very thin base
Never place an empty container on the plate and turn it, as it can cause
overheating of the container (excess heat) and damage the ceramic glass or
the plate itself. If the container base is very thin it can also overheat, do not use
this type of containers.
Detection of the container
The plate has a minimum detection limit of the cooking zone and is 12 cm. For
this reason, you should refrain from using containers whose base is less than
12 cm in diameter. If you turn the plate without any container with a container
whose base is less than 12 cm or unfit for induction container, the plate will not
work in the display " E0 " will appear, notify acoustically and after 50 seconds will
turn off automatically.
Fan
In the base plate there is a fan which aims to maintain a stable temperature
inside the induction plate.
Each time the board goes on and the power or temperature setting, the fan will
also be put into operation. When the plate is off, the fan will remain in operation
and will shut down automatically after 3 minutes.
