I hear the AEG induction hobs are the best

Are the Jamie Oliver pans any good?

[vinceloach]

@wwescotty I actually bought a Tefal stainless steel pan yesterday, very similar to the Jamie Oliver pans. It works fine.

2:01 hahahahahahaha!!

[GabriKnight]

I like. But no good for flambeing my steak : (

[stupidjunk978]

Thanks for the explanation

[cctv2wayradio]

i have a portable one, i regularly do 500 of pasta it takes me around 20-30 mins depending on how warm/cold the water to start with, pan thickness, how you like the pasta, there is also different power rating of these too which will do the same job but the time will be different

[dipench]

I am trying to use one and I am not sure If I have utensils of the right material. What all utensil types would work on it? Aluminium would work?

[agungk]

Bring magnets when you go shopping for them.

only wares that magnets stick to would work. Choose thicker and heavier ones. Thin ones tend to heat unevenly causing some very hot spots that will burn your food quickly.

Some inductive wares might be made from aluminium with steel plates attached to the bottoms.

[dipench]

Thanks agungk, So you are saying I should buy magnets and stick them to my utensils (only if they are magnetic they would work) or u mean that any material that would respond to magnet would work (without sticking magnet to them)

Pure steel materials would work? I tried warming water in one of the steel bowls but it didnt work :( Its totally above my head.

[agungk]

only ferromagnetic materials will work.

steel or stainless steel. however i've bought stainless steel wok that won't do it. when i test it with magnet, only very weak attraction happened.

that's why i said you should test the material with magnet. apparently not all stainless steel behave as ferromagnetic.

also, inductive cookers have size limitation that they can detect. smaller containers might not work.

[beyonose]

would pan or pot get warm without being contacted with Induction Cooktop surface.

[vinpetrol]

If the distance between pan and hob surface is not too large, yes! No contact is specifically required (heat is being inducted), *but* there's an inverse square law involved so the pot needs to be as close as possible. I've just tried it now, sticking a cloth between the hob surface and a pan, and when the distance reached about 7mm the hob could not detect the pan and did not induce heat. This could be a safety feature though?

[beyonose]

thank you for letting me know...

so heating are starting from the bottom of the cookware...

[vinpetrol]

Yes, it will induct heat across the bottom of the pan, although I suspect a small amount of heat will be induced up the sides. It would be hard to tell without putting temperature sensors all over the pan.

[TheJacolyte]

Do you have any experience with portable induction cooktops? If so, would it be powerful enough to boil a large pot of spaghetti?

The reason I ask is: I bought a portable electric cooktop, but the most it can produce is a weak boil, and it can only handle small pots, and takes an awful long time to cook.

I'm a college student with limited space, so full-sized cooktops aren't an option.

Thanks!

Ah, sorry, I didn't 'reply' to your comment specifically before:

Sorry, I've no experience with the portable variant of inductions cooktops.
