Procedure

Theory
Induction Cooktop faults
1 The induction stove not detecting pan

If you are new to using induction cooktops, I am sure you have gone through this. It is because you are
unaware of the fact that you cannot place any pan or pot. It needs to be “induction safe”. In case you are
buying a new one, ask for an induction ready one. Manufacturers do state whether it is compatible with an
induction stove or not. If you plan to use your old utensil, you can always check for this in the user manual.
Another way of checking? Place a magnet in the base. If it sticks, then your pan will be able to handle an
induction cooker.
