Using non-induction cookware on an induction cooktop requires the use of an induction interface disc or an induction hob adapter. Here's how you can do it:
Purchase an induction interface disc or adapter: Look for a metal disc specifically designed for induction cooktops. These discs typically have a ferromagnetic bottom that allows them to work with induction technology.
Place the induction interface disc on the induction cooktop: Put the disc directly on the cooktop's surface, ensuring it is centered and aligned properly.
Turn on the induction cooktop: Select the desired heat setting according to your recipe.
Put your non-induction cookware on top of the induction disc: Set your regular non-induction pot or pan on the disc. The magnetic field generated by the induction cooktop will pass through the disc and induce heat in your cookware.
Cook as usual: Once the non-induction cookware is placed on the disc, you can cook your food just as you would on a regular stove. The disc acts as an intermediary, transferring the heat from the induction cooktop to the non-induction cookware.
It's important to note that using an induction interface disc may result in slightly reduced efficiency compared to using induction-ready cookware directly on the cooktop. Some heat energy can be lost during the transfer from the disc to the cookware, leading to slower heating and potentially less precise temperature control.
Remember to follow the manufacturer's instructions for the induction interface disc, as different brands and models may have specific guidelines for usage and cleaning.
