Not all non-stick pots and pans are suitable for use on induction cooktops. Induction cooktops work by generating an electromagnetic field that heats the cookware directly. To be compatible with induction cooking, the cookware must have a magnetic base, which is typically made of materials like stainless steel or cast iron.
Traditional non-stick cookware is often made with aluminum, which is not magnetic and will not work on an induction cooktop. However, some non-stick cookware manufacturers have started incorporating a layer of magnetic material in the base of their pots and pans to make them induction-compatible.
If you want to use non-stick pots and pans on an induction cooktop, check the product specifications or packaging to ensure they are labeled as "induction-compatible" or "induction-ready." If there is no indication of induction compatibility, it's likely that the non-stick cookware will not work on an induction cooktop.
Alternatively, you can consider purchasing new non-stick cookware specifically designed for induction cooktops or choose other types of cookware that are known to be induction-friendly, such as stainless steel or cast iron.
