The “pan” test
Your induction hob is capable of recognising most types of pan.
Place your pan on a heating zone at power setting 4; if the display does not
flash your pan is compatible, if it flashes then your pan cannot be used for
induction cooking.
You can also use a magnet: if it does not “stick” to the pan, then the pan is not
suitable for induction cooking.
