As a gem of the modern kitchen, the IH induction hob is deeply loved by households for its high efficiency and energy-saving features.
However, some people may have been confused about why certain cookware cannot be used on an IH induction hob.

The reason lies in the operating principle of the IH induction hob.
IH induction hobs heat through electromagnetic induction, which means only magnetic materials can be effectively heated.
Specifically, the bottom of the cookware should be made of metallic materials, such as cast iron, stainless steel, or cookware with a magnetic iron base.

In contrast, cookware made of non-magnetic materials like glass, ceramic, copper, and aluminum does not possess the characteristics required to heat up on an IH induction hob, and therefore cannot utilize the hob's efficiency.

However, with recent technological advancements, there are now specially designed glass and ceramic cookware options that feature a built-in induction plate at the bottom, giving them magnetic properties and making them compatible with IH induction hobs.

When purchasing cookware, it is recommended to ensure that the bottom is flat to guarantee full magnetic conduction and optimal cooking results. When using EASY’s 3DIH induction hob, such limitations are no longer an issue, as it is the only IH induction hob that can accommodate traditional Chinese woks, bringing you even more joy in cooking.
