0 / 6 done

1. Look for an induction/IH-compatible mark on the cookware or packaging.
2. Test whether a magnet adheres firmly to the pan base.
3. Check whether glass, pure aluminum or copper cookware has a magnetic induction layer.
4. Inspect the base for flatness, warping or damage.
5. Compare pan size with the cooking-zone guidance in the cooktop manual.
6. With food in the pan, check heating at a modest setting; avoid hot surfaces and residual heat.
