Induction Cookware

Induction cooktops heat cookware directly through a magnetic field rather than heating the cooktop surface first, which is why they reach cooking temperature faster than gas or ceramic hobs and lose less heat to the surrounding air. This method only works with cookware that has a magnetic base, so a pan that heats well on a gas flame may not work at all on an induction surface.

Hello Kitchen stocks a small, checked range built specifically for induction, including the Hello Kitchen Non-stick Marble Divided Steamboat Hot Pot, the Hello Kitchen Marble Non-stick Tamagoyaki Fry Pan, the Kylin 2000W Multi-Function Induction Cooker for households without a built-in induction stove, and the Yoshikawa Oyakudon Induction Pan for smaller everyday cooking. Each item in this collection has been checked for induction compatibility before it's listed.

What Makes Cookware Induction-Compatible?

Not all cookware works on an induction cooktop, and the difference comes down to three physical features:

• Magnetic base: the pot or pan must contain cast iron or another ferromagnetic layer, since induction cooktops transfer heat through a magnetic field rather than a direct flame or electric coil.
• Flat, wide bottom: a flat base sits fully against the induction surface, so the magnetic field heats the cookware evenly instead of only in the centre.
• Tight-fitting, heavy lid: a heavier lid reduces rattling caused by the induction field's vibration and helps retain heat, which matters more on induction than on gas.

Compatible Materials & Tips

Whether a pan will work on induction usually comes down to what it's made of:

• Cast iron cookware, including the base of the Hello Kitchen Non-stick Marble Divided Steamboat Hot Pot, works on any induction cooktop without modification, since cast iron is naturally magnetic.
• Aluminium or stainless steel cookware only works on induction if it has a bonded magnetic layer in the base. Plain aluminium or standard stainless steel without this layer will not heat.
• The simplest way to check before buying is to hold a fridge magnet to the base of the pan. If it grips firmly, the pan is induction-ready; if it doesn't stick, it isn't.
