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.

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.

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

[wwescotty]

Are the Jamie Oliver pans any good?

Thank you for posting this vinpetrol. I have been using a NEFF induction hob for about four years now...I would never go back to using another kind of electric hob (never mind gas)! They are simply fantastic. Very fast and razor sharp accurate with instant temperature control

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.
