Fagor 670040350 23" 1800 Watt Electric Induction Cooktop with 6 Power Settings

23" 1800 Watt Electric Induction Cooktop with 5 to 150 Minute Timer

An induction cooktop holds a series of burners called induction coils (based on magnetic principles). These coils generate magnetic fields that induct a warming reaction in steel and iron-based pots and pans. This way, the cookware itself heats the food, not the cooktop surface.

Power Sharing: This means that the two cooking zones share the maximum 1800 watt power available to them. At any given moment, the sum of the number indicated on the left side and the number indicated on the right side cannon be higher than 6.

Since Induction is based on magnetic principles, the cooking or chafing vessel used must have a ferrous (iron-based, magnetic) bottom. Some types of cookware are made of naturally magnetic metals (such as pure iron), while others are made to be magnetic by "sandwiching" a thin layer of a ferrous metal in the base. This layer in the base is what will be affected by the magnetic field produced by the induction unit and distribute the heat. Generally speaking, tri-ply, high-quality stainless steel and cast iron will work on induction cooktops. Copper, glass and aluminum will not work unless they have a sandwiched magnetic base.

The easiest way to check whether your cooking or chafing vessel is compatible with induction cooktop, is to take a magnet and try to stick it to the bottom of your pot. If it sticks, your pot will work on induction. You can even use the simplest decorative fridge magnet for this test. Note that the magnet has to stick only to the bottom of the pot, not necessarily the sides. If the sides are not magnetic but the bottom is, your pot will still work on induction.
