Circulon's Induction Compatibility: Unlocking The Power Of Heat

Circulon pans are suitable for use on induction hobs if they are from the Aluminium, Steel Elite, Premier Professional or Infinite ranges. Circulon pans are known for their TOTAL® Food Release System. To check if a pot or pan is compatible with your induction hob, hold a magnet to the bottom of the pan. If the magnet sticks well to the sole of the pan, it will work on an induction cooking surface.

Which Circulon pans are suitable for induction hobs?

The following Circulon cookware is induction suitable:

• Circulon Aluminium
• Circulon Steel Elite
• Circulon Premier Professional
• Circulon Infinite

All frying pans, saucepans, stockpots, saute pans and woks from these ranges are induction suitable.

To tell if a pot or pan is compatible with your induction stove, hold a magnet to the bottom. If the magnet clings to the underside, the cookware will work on an induction cooktop.

How to tell if a pot or pan is compatible with an induction stove

To determine if a pot or pan is compatible with an induction stove, you can use a simple magnet test. Hold a magnet to the bottom of the pot or pan. If the magnet clings to the underside, the cookware will work on an induction cooktop. Regular stovetops heat pots and pans through contact. However, induction cooktops use an alternating magnetic field to heat the pot or pan directly.

Cast iron pans and any black metal or iron pans will work on an induction cooking surface. Stainless steel pans will work on an induction cooking surface if the base of the pan is a magnetic grade of stainless steel. If a magnet sticks well to the sole of the pan, it will work on an induction cooking surface.

Circulon cookware is known for its induction-ready options. The Circulon Aluminium, Circulon Steel Elite, Circulon Premier Professional, and Circulon Infinite ranges are all induction suitable. These ranges include frying pans, saucepans, stockpots, saute pans, and woks that can be used with portable induction cooktops, double induction cooktops, induction ranges, as well as other conventional electric and gas hobs.

Can Circulon pans be used on induction hobs?

Yes, Circulon pans can be used on induction hobs. Circulon Aluminium, Circulon Steel Elite, Circulon Premier Professional and Circulon Infinite are all induction-suitable and come with a Circulon propriety TOTAL® Food Release System.

To tell if a pot or pan is compatible with your induction stove, hold a magnet to the bottom. If the magnet clings to the underside, the cookware will work on an induction cooktop. Cast iron pans and any black metal or iron pans will work on an induction cooking surface. Stainless steel pans will work on an induction cooking surface if the base of the pan is a magnetic grade of stainless steel. If a magnet sticks well to the sole of the pan, it will work on an induction cooking surface.

Regular stovetops heat pots and pans through contact. However, induction hobs heat through an alternating magnetic field. If you place your hand, or a glass pot on an induction cooktop, neither will heat up because they are not magnetic and therefore not affected by the alternating magnetic field of the induction burner.

What happens if you use a normal pan on an induction hob?

If you use a normal pan on an induction hob, heat will not be able to transfer from the hob to the pan effectively. This is because induction hobs work by generating heat in the pan or metal object through electrical induction, instead of through thermal conduction from a flame or electric element. Regular stovetops heat pots and pans through contact.

Induction hobs require ferrous metal pans and without a magnetic material, heat will not be able to transfer from the hob to the pan effectively. Suitable pans can be identified with the induction symbol. You can also test compatibility by using a magnet on the bottom of the saucepan - if it clings onto it, then it should work with an induction hob.

Not all pans are the same and using the wrong ones could affect how well your hob performs. Induction cooking heats a pot or pan via electrical induction, instead of through thermal conduction from a flame or electric element. This results in heat coming from within the pan, making induction cooking a much more efficient choice than gas or electric hobs.
