How Induction Cooking Works

GE Appliances demonstrates that induction cooking is a two-part system. An electromagnetic field of energy and a pan with an iron-based core are both required for induction cooktops to work.

if the magnet does not stick to the bottom of the pan... then you will get cracked stove top.

@chuym249 Actually, that is not true. If the pan is not of a magnetic content, no heat will be produced. Thanks, Megan from GE

Why it does not work when utensil is empty or cotains solids such as bread slices. ?

so isn't there anyway I can use a Full Al pot? I have a Pressure cooker made from fully non magnetic bottom, guessing its Al, is there a way to use it?

@ruwan591 Sorry, unfortunately you can't use the non-magnetic pressure cooker on the induction stove. Thanks, Megan from GE

@ruwan591 Put a square plate of metal underneath perhaps?

@ruwan591 You could always get a small block of iron and drop that into the bottom of the cooker. Might end up melting a hole in it, though.
