INDUCTION COOKTOP COMPATIBLE COOKWARE:
Induction cooking heats a cooking vessel by magnetic induction, in-
stead of by thermal conduction from a ame, or an electrical heating
element. Because inductive heating directly heats the vessel, very rapid
increases in temperature can be achieved.
Induction cooking is quite efcient, which means it puts less waste heat
into the kitchen, can be quickly turned off, and has safety advantages
compared to gas cooktops. Induction cooktops are also usually easy to
clean, because the cooktop itself does not get very hot.
You can use the provided grill pan or your own cooking pot. It should be
steel or iron based bottom. Test your cooking pot by placing a magnet
on the bottom. If the magnet sticks, then it will work.
The induction cooktop will not begin to operate unless induction-ready
cookware is properly in place.
Examples of compatible cookware:
• Simply Ming Hard Anodized Cookware
• Simply Ming Metallic Cookware
• Simply Ming Diamond Platinum Cookware
• Simply Ming Hammered Ceramic Nonstick Cookware
• Simply Ming Healthy Lightweight Cookware with Soft-grip
• Cast iron
• Enameled iron and steel
• Stainless steel with magnetic base
Non-induction-compatible cookware:
• Copper
• Glass
• Aluminum
• Pottery type vessels
