No, aluminum vessels cannot be used directly on an induction stove. Induction cooktops work by generating a magnetic field that heats the cookware through induction. Aluminum is a non-magnetic material, which means it does not interact with the magnetic field and, therefore, cannot be directly heated by an induction cooktop.
To use aluminum cookware on an induction stove, you would need to place an induction-compatible disc or a specialized induction interface disk made of ferromagnetic material (such as stainless steel) between the cookware and the induction cooktop. The magnetic field generated by the cooktop will then heat the disc, which, in turn, transfers the heat to the aluminum cookware.
However, it's important to note that using an interface disk may result in less efficient heat transfer and slower cooking times compared to using cookware directly compatible with induction cooktops, such as cast iron or stainless steel.
If you're considering an induction stove and frequently use aluminum cookware, it might be more practical to invest in induction-compatible cookware to fully enjoy the benefits and efficiency of induction cooking.
