What makes a pan work well on an induction hob?
A. Induction hobs work well with any pans with a high ferrous metal content at the point where the base is in contact with the Induction hob cooking surface. Cast iron pans and any black metal or iron pans will work on an induction hob. Stainless steel pans will often work on an induction hob provided the sole of the pan is a grade of stainless steel that has a high iron content, to check this do the magnet test, if the magnet sticks to the sole of the pan it will work on an induction hob!
