What Makes a Pot or Pan ‘Induction-Ready’?
It all comes down to magnetism. Induction cooktops generate a magnetic field to heat the pan directly, rather than heating the cooktop surface first. For this to work, the base of your cookware needs to be made from a ferrous (magnetic) material like cast iron or stainless steel. A quick and easy way to check if your current pots and pans are compatible is to see if a fridge magnet sticks firmly to the bottom. If it does, you’re good to go!
Choosing the Right Material for Your Cooking Style
A great non-stick pan is a must-have for everyday meals, from perfect scrambled eggs to delicate fish fillets. The Tefal Jamie Oliver Cook's Classics range is a huge customer favourite, with many pieces like the All-In-One Pan earning a stellar 4.9-star rating from over 70 verified buyers. They feature a super-durable hard anodised body for even heating and a tough, titanium-infused non-stick coating that makes cooking and cleaning effortless. Best of all, Tefal’s clever Thermo-Signal technology in the centre of the pan turns solid red when it's at the perfect temperature to start cooking, taking all the guesswork out of preheating.
For durability and excellent performance, it’s hard to beat stainless steel. It’s a fantastic choice for searing, browning, and simmering. Brands like Fissler, made in Germany, use premium 18/10 stainless steel with a special ‘Cookstar’ base that distributes heat incredibly evenly for fantastic results every time. For commercial-grade performance at home, the Ninja EverClad range is built with a tough tri-ply construction, which sandwiches an aluminium core between layers of stainless steel for rapid, even heating without hot spots. Cookware sets, like the highly-rated Scanpan Impact range, are a brilliant way to get a complete collection of quality stainless steel pieces with features like internal capacity markings and drip-free pouring rims.
When it comes to retaining heat for hours, nothing beats cast iron. It’s the secret to tender, flavourful casseroles, stews, and slow-cooked roasts. Chasseur, handcrafted in France, creates beautiful and functional enamelled cast iron cookware that looks as good on the dining table as it does on the stove. Each piece is hand-cast in its own unique sand mould. The heavy, self-basting lids are designed with special rings underneath that collect moisture and drip it back onto your food, keeping everything juicy and delicious. They are suitable for all heat sources, including induction, and are perfect for going from the cooktop straight into the oven.

Frequently Asked Questions
You can only use your old cookware if it has a magnetic base. The easiest way to check is to take a fridge magnet and see if it sticks securely to the bottom of your pot or pan. If it doesn't stick, it won't work on an induction cooktop.
Stainless steel and cast iron are generally the most durable options. Multi-layered stainless steel, like the tri-ply construction found in Ninja EverClad cookware, is exceptionally strong and resists warping. Enamelled cast iron from brands like Chasseur is also incredibly tough and designed to last for generations with proper care.
Always lift your pots and pans rather than dragging them across the glass surface. It’s also a good idea to make sure both the base of the cookware and the cooktop itself are clean and free of any grit or debris before you start cooking. Most modern induction cookware has a smooth, flat base designed to be gentle on ceramic glass surfaces.
Yes, it is very safe. Reputable brands like Tefal and Scanpan use high-quality, modern non-stick coatings that are completely free from PFOA, lead, and cadmium. As long as you follow the manufacturer's instructions and avoid using excessively high heat, it's a perfectly safe and convenient option for your kitchen.
Always check the manufacturer’s care instructions first, as recommendations can vary. For most non-stick pans, hand washing with a soft sponge and soapy water is best to prolong the life of the coating. Many stainless steel and cast iron pieces are dishwasher-safe, but a quick hand wash is often all that’s needed.
