The 8 Best Cookware Sets For Induction Stovetops
Don't just use any old pots and pans—trust us.
Not all cookware is ideal for an induction-top stove—and we'd hate to have you learn this the hard way.
Let's talk about why this is: Basically, regular cooktops heat pots and pans through contact with a flame or an electrically heated surface. Induction stovetops do not. Instead, induction stovetops produce an "an oscillating magnetic field." This is a fancy way of saying that the coiled magnetic wire under the surface of your stove moves around the electrons in magnetic, induction-top friendly cookware. In case you skipped that day of chemistry class, this creates an electrical current which heats up your pan—hurray!
So if you have an induction-top stove, whatever you make will be cooked faster and heated more evenly when using the below induction-friendly cookware sets.
