- Not all pots and pans will work with an induction stove. But those that do all have one trait in common. Chef Degen shows the foolproof trick in knowing whether a pot or pan is induction ready.
Way to go...one of the most helpful, explanatory videos I have watched.
Thanks for watching! So glad it helped. 😀
way to go!
You have made the "mystic" induction-science accesible for normal people....
Simple as that. I especially loved your versatile samples of pots and pans .. and the "just use the we-all-have-these magnets on the fridge" ... so all/both thumbs-up!
So glad you found it helpful! Thank you for watching and happy cooking 😀
Really enjoyed listening to you! Thank you for a very clear and informative video. Just ordered my first induction stove and now I know exactly how to deal with it :)
You’re very welcome! Thanks for watching and enjoy that new stove.
I have been using induction cooking for about 9 years; I LOVE this! A Defusser plate will allow ANY cookware to work!
Thank you, and good to know on the plate. Cheers!
Thank you so much for this! I had bought new pots/pans I loved the look of them, then found out our cooktop was induction (which I was excited for)....so glad for the converter plates !!
Yay! Enjoy those new pots and pans, and enjoy the great food you make with them! :)
Do u know a a diffuser plate is reliable?
As long as the diffuser is not aluminum I would guess.
Thank you for the clear and slow explanations👍. In addition, it is so great that you have different types of cooking pans ready to demonstrate in your explanations👏. I love your video.👍👍
Thanks so much! Glad you found it helpful. Happy cooking 😀
@@IWantToCook l intend to buy an Ikea portable induction cooktop. I thought it is just like any other stoves that can cook any kinds of pans until l accidentally clicked on your video and learned that induction cooktop does not work on stainless steel pans or glass pans. 😯
I have a clay pot, a glass pot, and two stainless steel pans, but one of it not stick to magnet. So it means l have to buy new pans/pot if l want to use induction cooktop.
@@IWantToCookHi Chef Matt, l just watched your "l'm visiting Vietnam". I came from Vietnam. Of all the food you took in the video, which food do you like most?
@@nh866 Great question and thanks for watching. I actually plan to do an entire video on this subject! But I think of those the ostrich was the most surprisingly good. Oh, and that coffee! It's just wonderful and I hope to re-create it :)
Thank you so much for the great tip and testing it all out for us!!!! 😊
Thank you for watching and happy cooking! 🙏
After watching many videos this one has finally helped me thank u so much sir
So glad to hear! Thank you for watching and happy cooking 😀
Vey helpful, to the point video. I bought an induction burner and had no clue why it wouldn't work . Needless to say all instructions were in another language and I ended up putting it in a closet to try again another time. Now I know what I was doing wrong. I doubt anything I used was magnetic but will know to test that out!
So glad it helped! Thanks for watching and happy cooking 🙏
I got mine in a silent auction at my job. So far I love it.
This video is awesome! Straightforward and very helpful! Thank you for making this 😁
Thanks for checking it out! 🙏
Omg i didn’t know that..and suffered a lot..thanks a lot for enlighten me.❤️
I’m glad it helped! Thanks for watching and happy cooking 😀
Very helpful video. I just got sorted with the mystery of the induction hob
Thank! Glad you found it helpful :)
Neat thing about lodge frying pans, a pair the same size, one can function as a lid....Note that the handles can be lined up and not conflict as some brands of cast iron will. The larger Lodge fry pans with the helper handles can work well with flipping frittatas.
Fantastic point. Thanks for sharing this tip about their ingenious design.
Thank you, I watched so many videos and I don't remember one of them talking about the magnetic test, I figure you had to buy the induction plate and then test all your pots and pans
So glad it helped. Thanks for watching and happy cooking!
Loved it! Also your vintage cookware is beautiful, I might will go thrifting 😜
Thank you! And I highly encourage thrifting for cookware. You never know what you’ll score!
I love the simple and straightforward information. I liked and subscribed!
Many thanks!! 🙏
Thank you so much for teaching it so easily. I was about to spend heck lot of money on *claimed induction cookware*
Glad it was helpful! Thank you very much for watching, and happy cooking 👍
Thanks Stan. Watching from Dublin Ireland 🍀🍀💚💚🐱🐱🇮🇪🇮🇪🍀🍀
Thanks for watching! Cheers.
Great information! Very valuable for buying an induction stove.
Glad to hear. Thanks for watching!
Wow Wow Wow Wow that's amazing and very helpful. Just brought a House with an induction cooker and was stressing on buying the pans. I have lots of cast iron pots. And thank you for the magnet tip ‼️👏🏃♀️👏💃💃💃
So glad to hear it was helpful! Congrats on the new house, and happy cooking 😀
The explanation is top notch, wish you can also make a video explaining how to use the induction stove/cooker 👍👍
Thanks, and I’ll file away that request for a future video. Cheers!
Alternating Supply, creates an alternating magnetic field which goes through the pan. Alternating magnetic fields through the pan would continuously change in strength. This strength change ("Change in magnetic flux"), induces an EMF on the Pan. This EMF causes current to flow, which heats the pan up.
Very helpful, thank you for the info. I bought my first induction 😊
Thanks so much - really clear and has helped me reach a decision on induction v ceramic.
Thank you for the link to induction ready cookware. I have an induction range and I have been wondering what kind of pots and pans I should be using. Thank you for solving that mystery for me.
Glad to help! Thank you for watching and happy cooking 😀
1 thing you forgot to mention:
It is not a good idea to use Pots/pans that where previously used on Gas, to use them on induction. {Cast iron excluded}
Since the heat of the Flame can warp the pan, causing it to damage the Glass cooktop.
Cast iron is excluded since it is nearly impossible to warp due heat
Great tip! I did not know about that aspect of gas to induction and the possibility of warping. Thanks for sharing.
@@IWantToCook it is quite commonly known for those that use induction.
the only thing that you do have to watch out with Cast iron is that the bottom is still smooth/ in good condition.
those Emailed ones are the best, since you have a nice smooth surface.
Most normal cast iron pots/pans are a bit rough on the bottom causing scratches.
Where i live, integrated counter-top stoves are more common, so if a induction stove is damaged you only change the hob, not a entire stove/oven combination.
Not forgetting that its much much cheaper and easier in maintenance than a standard free standing stove
Cast iron isn't hard to warp at all...
This was so helpful I had no idea some of my old pans worked especially the cast iron wow . 😮
Also liked your shirt and yes it totally is 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed the video! And yes, I'm a fan of boxer engines, aka flat engines, like the kind used in Porsches and Subarus.
Fantastic straightforward common sense advice
Thank you 🙏
Love the T-Shirt and resemble the statement
Boxer engines for the win!
Extremely helpful! Much thanks!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Glad to hear! Thank you for watching 🙏
Thank you so much !! I really appreciate it !!
You're welcome! Thank you for watching, and happy cooking :-)
Great video and t-shirt!
Great job straight forward to the point video. I love it
Thank you! 🙏
Thank you for the information, very very informative. I am planning to buy a induction cooker👍
You’re welcome! Happy cooking 😀
Wonderful i got induction n it's hard find a right pot
That's really good stuff...I'm gonna need to source new pans after realizing that the non ferrous ones I just bought don't work on the induction stove😢😢
Good video, as far as it went, but you did not even mention that large pans do not work well with induction hobs because of the smaller size of most induction heating elements. Maybe you could do another video on that?
Fair assessment, and I appreciate the feedback. I hope to try a larger induction unit at some point; I only have a portable model because my home stove is gas. But induction is becoming more popular here in America, and the technology is even starting to be used in some restaurants. I enjoy its efficiency and speed, but I must admit that for my next range -- I've been pining for a Wolf for well over a decade now -- I plan to go gas. I simply love the immediate reaction time I get with gas, and the majority of my cookware -- and all my beloved CorningWare -- doesn't work on induction. Thanks for watching, and happy cooking!
This guy knows his physics - electromagnetism hopefully cooking too! Thanks next I'm in the mall ill bring a magnet!
Thank you and happy cooking!
Yes this was very helpful. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you soo much for this i think my pot doesn't work with the induction hob because i have been trying to cook something since i moved in. Thanks you for yoye video. It was quite helpful
So happy to hear it helped! Thank you for watching and happy cooking 🙏
This is very good explanation Thanh you
Regards. I have several stainless steel cookware, at the bottom they have the logo that works with induction cookers, the magnet sticks to them, but they still don't work, I tried two induction cookers of different brands and they didn't work. They may not have enough magnetic material to be detected by the induction cooker. Just so you take it into account. Not always the magnet test will tell you that it is compatible.
Interesting. Good to know and thanks for sharing. 🙏
Really helpful video! Is there a risk to scratch induction surface? Especially when dragging pans that are made of strong materials like casting iron.
Thanks, and good question. Yes, that can be a concern, and it’s something I try to be aware of, particularly with cast iron. You can lessen that risk by lifting the pan - although when i do that, my induction range beeps annoyingly, lol. Thanks for watching and happy cooking 🙏
So if I understand well, size does not matter? It just have to be magnetic?
For cookware to work on an induction stove, yes, the cookware must be magnetic. As for size, like any pot or pan, a larger vessel can take longer to heat, but it ultimately will. Hope this helps!
Wow, great explanation ❤❤❤ thank you.
Thank you! 🙏
Hi, may i know which series Le Crueset is that? and what size are they?
Because they look like exactly what i need.
Not too big or small.
Btw thank tou for this awesome video.
Thumbs up!
Hello! I believe this is known as the Multifunction Pan, 2.5 quart. Note that the pot itself holds about 1 3/4 quarts, so maybe they are also including the pan volume in that designation. At the bottom of the pot is a marking that says “22.”
I bought these in 2016 from a Le Creuset outlet in Los Angeles, but it looks like a similar set can still be bought online. Thanks for watching and happy cooking! www.surlatable.com/le-creuset-cherry-two-in-one-pan/PRO-1035534.html
Thank you so much! That link is really helping! Happy cooking, stay healthy, and God Bless.👍
Hi from Brunei. Tq for the knowledge~~
Hello! Thanks for watching and happy cooking 😀
Great advise . Thank you.
Very helpful. Thank you
Great tip. Thanks
My pleasure. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video! My first experience using the induction and it did not work out on the ceramic pan. Now I understand why
You’re very welcome! Happy cooking 😃
some stainless steel pans have enclosed copper bottoms these do not work.
Very useful video. Thank you.
Thanks for watching! 🙏
I’ve just bought one of these cookers without being told any of this stuff by the salespeople and as a result now have to spend another shedload on more cook wear!! Think I’ll just return it and get a ceramic one. It’s like having the gvmnt control ya kitchen as well!!!
Oof, that is unfortunate. Those selling these stoves really need to let buyers know this all-important fact.
Love your shirt!
Thanks! Boxer engines for the win :-)
Thanks for information😊
Thanks for watching! 🙏
Really helpful.. thank you
Glad to hear. Thanks for watching! 🙏
realy help me this video thank you very much.
Glad to hear! Thanks for watching 🙏
The question is not just is it magnetic. I boiled 2 cups of water with a magnetic induction ready pan - 13 minutes to boil. Cast iron took only 1.5 minutes. Both were magnetic.
Interesting. I wonder if the amount of ferrous material in cookware will affect energy transfer….
@@IWantToCook The amount of ferrous material definitely does influence the performance. I have a pan that is magnetic, but less so than cast iron, and it works, but it makes a buzzing noise when on the burner which often indicates a low iron content, and it does not heat up very quickly.
@@macrumpton Good to know! Thanks.
There is little question that quantity of ferrous material in the base of the pan has an effect. I have a T-Fal nonstick skillet that is basically aluminum, but has a ferrous disk molded into the base. It works on our GE Profile induction range, but only on the small coils, and does not heat up nearly as quickly as a Cuisinart saucepan or a small Circulon nonstick skillet. A magnet will stick to all of these, but there is a clear difference in performance.
I have an induction hob and tried my thinnish Ikea pan to cook hard boiled eggs, after it started to boil I reduced the heat to a slow boil but it would only work in pulses - on/off no perceivable boiling then a 5 second burst when it would boil madly and splash water onto the hob. It didn't matter which heat level I chose.
I went and bought a heavy bottom pan from Soltam, it was quite expensive but the difference was vast - total control over the heat range, no more pulsing and splashing
I heard that pans warp on fire stove and can destroy a glass top of an induction stove. Would love to know how to test that safely
Yes, this can happen, but usually only with cheaper quality and thinner-metal pans. Something like a fully clad cookware or cast iron can take such heat without worries of warping. As for glass stoves, problems can arise with heavy and rougher cookware such as cast iron. If you have this type of stove, be sure to gently set pans on it and not slide things across its surface. Thanks for watching and happy cooking!
Thanks for sharing idea 🥰
Any info on how well those "induction converstion plates" work for using non-induction pans on an induction cooktop?
I don’t have any personal experience with them, unfortunately. Maybe someone else who does can chime in.
@@IWantToCook I just watched a couple other videos and they seem to work well enough. If people know they can get one or two "conversion plates" and use "the pot I've made pasta in for the last 20 years," it might sway them a bit faster. Then they wouldn't feel like they had to replace "every pot and pan."
Good to hear. I might have to pick one up and give it a try. Happy cooking!
This is what I’m wondering about as well
OK, I've got to ask...What is your shirt about?
Lol. It’s a wink to a boxer engine in cars. Sometimes these are called “flat” engines due to their cylinder arrangement. Porsche and Subaru are the primary automakers that currently use them. And for the record, I believe the earth is a sphere, not a plane. 😀
Thank you. very informative
Very helpful! Thanks.
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching 🙏
Have to be careful bringing a magnet into an shop. They may think you're trying to get around their security tags off their products. To steal them 😁
Doh! 😁
Love your teeshirt. Porsche owner here.
Thank you! They truly are amazing cars. Hopeful future Porsche owner here. 😀
Very helpful thanks 🙏 it helped me to know how l use my stove
So glad to hear! Happy cooking 😀
Thank you for sharing.

Thankyou very much
Thanks for watching! 🙏
Staub, LA Cruset, this guy is serious about his pots and pans.
Great video!
Thank you!
Why do you need iron type cookware for induction stove when an induction furnace melts ANY metal including gold?
Great question, and TBH I didn’t even know what an induction furnace was until you posted. Maybe someone smarter than me on this subject can answer. I just cook, lol!
Hey meaning induction Hot plates only works with magnetic materials..!??
As materials that sticks with the magnet!???
Yes. If a magnet sticks to the bottom of your cookware., it will work with induction.
Tfs.this was very helpful.
Glad to hear! Thanks for watching :)
Hi there, this was a great video but I am a little confused. Some people say that the entire pot needs to be magnetic in order to work well with induction. I have a number of beautiful Scanpan pots and some other pans where the magnet sticks really well to the bottom of the pot but not at all to the sides. My cast iron cookware is all fine, or course, and the magnet sticks to the entire surface. Will these pots that don't have magnetic sides still work efficiently?
Yes, they should be fine. The bottom of the pan is really what’s being heated, and while magnetic sides might better convey thermal distribution, heating just the bottom is the important part. That is also where the food is resting, and heat by nature rises so rest assured between that and a good stir of what your cooking (if applicable), you should be good to go. Thanks for watching and happy cooking!
thank you for the information
Thanks for watching! 🙏
Hi thanks real good info if its induction ready or all cooker range ready does thus mean it will go in the oven, i also have pots with tempered?? Glass Lids dies that mean it can go in the oven.
It will really depend on the pan and lid. In general, I’ve found that most pans that work on induction range are also oven-safe. The thing to look out for are plastic handles - those don’t do well in an oven. As for the glass lid, that will also depend on the manufacturer, but the fact it’s tempered is a good sign. If possible, I still recommend using metal lids in the oven. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
I keep magnet in my wallet coin compartment at all times and if I see a pan in thrift store I will try if there is any magnetism at all. Sometimes it's very little but it's still working.
Great idea! Thanks for sharing 👍
recently started using a Hoffman induction cooking range with 4 burners. Its shuts off automatically after few seconds, what can be the reason ? and after certain time restarts....and this is repeating...
Sounds like either an issue with the stove or pan. Mine wigs out if the pan is not induction-ready. But if your pan is induction-ready (if a magnet clings to the bottom, it is), then it might be an issue with the stove. Then I’d reach out to the manufacturer or where you purchased it. Best of luck.
Does the magnet trick work all brand inductions ? Cause some say stainless steel totally doesnt work etc
As far as I know it should.
Great video, very useful. Thank you.
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching 🙏
Really helpful big thumbs up....
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching 🙏
Did he say the pot that has the lid which is another pan was le, Creuset😍? I know he said it was years ago that he got it but be still my foolish heart I must have it! I shall journey to the ends of the earth to find it🤗! I need this, spit spot, I gotta 👀 have that pot! What say you? 🤔
Yes, I love this set. I bought this from a Le Creuset outlet in 2016, but here it is today from Sur La Table, a kitchen store I really like. You might be able to find it elsewhere, too. www.surlatable.com/le-creuset-cherry-two-in-one-pan/PRO-1035534.html
Kindly help me how can I I use my clay pot on induction. Another option tq you are great tq 😊
I believe that will be a no go. You can try using a metal plate intended to allow heating of non-induction cookware, but I cannot speak to their effectiveness. It might be handy to buy a portable electric burner or one that works on butane. I have both and find them quite useful. Thanks for watching and happy cooking 🙏
Great video, thanks.
You are welcome! Thanks for taking the time to watch.
Do the handles get hot as well if they are metal?
I’d say it depends on the pan. If the handle of your pan currently gets hot over flame or electric, it likely will with induction, too. The handle on my cast iron pan sure does.
thanks all info you gave us. 👍🏼👍🏼
Glad it helped. Thanks tor watching!
@@IWantToCook I need help to find out good pots for my induction oven. I would like to buy set but I dont know which one is better... Do you have any suggestion for me ? Thank you
@@raydric1111 Great question. Like clothes, cars, and so many other things, there is no one perfect set of cookware, and a lot depends on personal taste and budget. That caveat out of the way, I think stainless steel is a great choice all around. It holds up well, is easy to clean, and can cook just about anything. I personally recommend All-Clad and Calphalon, but there are other good brands out there. Just make sure that is says "induction ready" (or bring a magnet with you to the store :)
Hi there, can i put the small magnetic on the induction while using my non magnetic pan!?
Unfortunately I don’t think that will work, if you’re desiring to make a non-induction pan work on such a stove. There are plates for such a purpose, but I’ve never used them and would be wary of their performance.
Is the surface of an induction hob easy to damage ?
Maybe compared to an iron grate of a gas stove. Otherwise, I’ve found them quite sturdy. Just don’t bang heavy pans on them (try to set them down a bit easier), and don’t drag something like a cast iron pan across them. You might want to get a portable version like what’s in the video to see if it works for you before installing a full range in your kitchen. Cheers!
Thanks
Thanks for watching!
I bough a induction Coker recently along with a wear . It is working properly on the cocker but magnate is not clinching. Any reason?
Without seeing your setup, I’m not sure. Induction works via a magnetic field. Regardless, I’m happy it is working. Thanks for watching and happy cooking!
I liked your video cause I like your shirt😆
Thanks, lol. Boxer engines for the win!
Absolutely awesome. Very helpful. No nonsense info that answered my question.
Thank you! Glad it helped 😀
I have pots that hold a magnet but they don't work with my Burton portable induction cooktop. :-( So apparently there are exceptions to the "magnet" rule.
Thank you !
You’re welcome! 🙏
is it okay to eat on induction cooking methods???
I’m sorry but I don’t quite understand your question. If you’re asking if it’s safe to eat food cooked in a pan on a induction stove, I wouldn’t see why not. In the end, it’s a heated pan that’s cooking food.
Far more complex than just magnetic. Notice that he was commenting on how strong the magnet was on the last pot. I have had a stainless stock pot that would hold a magnet but would not work on induction. It seems that the more magnetic the better the performance. I have two stainless 3 quart pots. One boils in 90 seconds and the other 5 minutes. There should be a magnetic force level rating or something like that for induction capability.
What's the company for the quick boiling pot?
Tlemulino Nee York. I purchased it at Home Sense a Marshals company so good luck in finding more. I have not seen that brand since.
I thought stainless steel was not magnetic at all?
Stainless steel in itself might not be, but a pot lined with stainless steel and a ferrous (magnetic) material will be. So when shopping for stainless steel cookware for an induction range, make sure it will work.
thank u so much
My pleasure!
@ 5:00 i dont know how that pot works , ridge is holding the entire pot off the "burner" surface - my burners require the entire pan bottom to touch
Indeed and good eye! This pot is only negligible on induction due to that lip. If I recall from when I made that video, the aim was to show enameled cast iron as suitable. Thanks for watching!
