Induction cookers are gaining popularity in every household kitchen. This type of stove requires specific pots and pans. However, some people are curious if induction cookware can be used on a gas stove.
1. Should induction cookware be used for gas stoves?
Electric induction cookers are increasingly popular in every family kitchen. This type of stove requires specific pots and pans
According to experts in electrical appliances, specialized induction cookware can indeed be used on gas stoves. However, this practice is discouraged for the following reasons:
- Due to the specialized bottom design, induction cookware is usually thicker than cookware designed for gas stoves. The thicker bottom of induction cookware can lead to longer cooking times and gas wastage when used on gas stoves.
- Using induction cookware on gas stoves can damage the bottom structure, especially with cookware that has a detachable bottom.
- Cooking with gas can cause the bottom of the cookware to turn black, reducing its magnetic properties and resulting in longer cooking times on induction stoves.
- The cost of an induction cookware set is often much higher than that of gas cookware, so it needs to be used with caution.
Therefore, it is not advisable to use induction cookware on gas stoves unless absolutely necessary.
Why is it essential to use specialized cookware for induction stoves?
The operating mechanism of induction stoves is based on the magnetic field phenomenon. When an electric current passes through the coil inside the stove, it immediately generates a magnetic field within a few millimeters on the stove's surface.
If the bottom of the cookware is made of ferromagnetic metal, it will generate an electric current and heat up, cooking the food. This is why aluminum and glass cookware cannot be used on induction stoves because these materials do not have a magnetic field and cannot receive induction.
To identify whether cookware can be used on an induction stove, you can look for the spring icon on the cookware's bottom or on the product label. Another way to check if your cookware is suitable for induction stoves is to use a magnet. If the magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware, it means that the cookware can be used on an induction stove.
