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.
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 :)
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!
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.👍👍
@@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 :)
This is a great video, I sent it to several friends who had questions about the induction cookware 😊, I love my induction stove top ♥ ❤ and it's so easy to keep clean ♥ ❤
Important factor to consider before buying an induction stove: burner size. It matters--A LOT. On most lower end stoves the largest burner you'll get is 6". Since induction burners only heat the area of the pan making contact with the burner surface, this means trouble for 12" skillets, which typically have a 9" bottom diameter. The central area of the pan will heat nicely, but the outer area will not. If you want to get 12" burners, count on spending big bucks, like $5,000 and up.
Can't you alleviate this problem by using specially designed pots and pans that help distribute the heat evenly? heard some 5 ply pans do this nicely but unsure if the theory has been tested.@masudsaleh5155
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 ‼️👏🏃♀️👏💃💃💃
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!
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.
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 !!
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.
I'm a total noob to induction, read a lot and decided it might be time to switch, so your video made me hunt down a magnet, I tested first my favorite cookware and to my surprise my prized go-to pan for cooking Indian food yielded a fail!!! It's a big stainless pan that appears to be double clad (or has a thick clad bottom). My curiosity right now is finding out what is most effective and efficient with induction stove tops.
I’ve had similar experiences, being surprised at pans of mine that do and do not work with induction. When I do use induction (a portable unit since my home stove is gas), I most often grab cast iron. All its ferrous material makes it wonderful for that. I hope you also can find cookware that works well. Thanks for watching and happy cooking!
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
Just bought a home with an induction stove now I'm stuck with pots and pans that won't work on it lol thank God I had at least a cast iron skillet. I'm gonna have to get some new cookware soon 😋
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.
@@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 :)
I have Matfer and de Buyer carbon steel skillets - magnetic for sure but I've seen videos on YT where induction cooktops warp them permanently, so I'm leery of induction and will stick to gas for now.
