Ceramic Pot On A Burner

Turn on the heat.

Ceramic pot on a burner.

If the magnet grabs the pan softly you may not have good success with it on your cooktop. Pick a large enough burner and put the pot on the stove. Wait for it to boil. To tell if a pot or pan is compatible with your induction stove hold a magnet to the bottom.

You are supposed to use the lower one grate close to ceramic element with pots and pans and the higher standoff when searing meats. Then pour in one quart of water. The side grate as two height settings. Induction burners feature a ceramic plate with an electromagnetic coil beneath.

You can use the side burner with pots and pans. Place the pot on the stove. I love that side element searing grill compared to my old grill which had the standard side burner. Wait for those telltale bubbles and for the water to begin boiling.

If the magnet clings to the underside the cookware will work on an induction cooktop. Add two tablespoons of baking soda and stir with a wooden spoon. Set the burner to medium heat.
