Induction cooking is quickly becoming the gold standard in modern UK kitchens. Known for its precision, safety, and speed, it offers a smarter way to cook without the inefficiencies of gas or traditional electric hobs. But to enjoy these benefits, your cookware must be induction-compatible. Choosing the right cookware can directly affect cooking speed, energy efficiency, and food quality. In this guide, you’ll discover practical, trustworthy options for upgrading your kitchen with energy-efficient pans that work seamlessly on induction hobs.
1. What Is Induction Cooking?
Induction cooking uses magnetic technology to heat cookware directly, without warming the surrounding air or the hob surface.
Here’s how it works:
-
An electromagnetic field is generated beneath the hob surface.
-
This field transfers energy directly into ferromagnetic cookware.
-
Only the pan gets hot, not the hob.
Key benefits include:
-
Faster heating – Cuts cooking time by up to 50%.
-
Lower energy bills – Energy is transferred directly, reducing waste.
-
Safer surfaces – No open flames, and the hob cools quickly.
To benefit from this, your cookware must have a magnetic base, making induction-ready kitchenware a vital investment.
2. What Makes Cookware Induction-Compatible?
Not all pots and pans are suitable for induction hobs. For cookware to work, it must have a base made of ferromagnetic metal such as stainless steel or cast iron.
Here’s how to check:
-
Magnet Test: Place a fridge magnet on the bottom of your pan. If it sticks firmly, it’s induction-compatible.
-
Label Check: Look for the induction coil symbol on the packaging or product base.
Houszy’s cookware range is fully induction-ready, combining high-performance materials with modern cooking tools designed for energy-efficient UK kitchens.
