Really enjoyed listening to you! Thank you for a very clear and informative video. Just ordered my first induction stove and now I know exactly how to deal with it :)
You’re very welcome! Thanks for watching and enjoy that new stove.
Way to go...one of the most helpful, explanatory videos I have watched.
Thanks for watching! So glad it helped. 😀
way to go!
You have made the "mystic" induction-science accesible for normal people....
Simple as that. I especially loved your versatile samples of pots and pans .. and the "just use the we-all-have-these magnets on the fridge" ... so all/both thumbs-up!
So glad you found it helpful! Thank you for watching and happy cooking 😀
We bought an Induction stove 3 years ago best choice ever, it has a Convection oven Love it totally.
Great 👍 video thanks 😊
Thanks for watching and happy cooking!
Thanks Stan. Watching from Dublin Ireland 🍀🍀💚💚🐱🐱🇮🇪🇮🇪🍀🍀
Thanks for watching! Cheers.
Thank you for the clear and slow explanations👍. In addition, it is so great that you have different types of cooking pans ready to demonstrate in your explanations👏. I love your video.👍👍
Thanks so much! Glad you found it helpful. Happy cooking 😀
@@IWantToCook l intend to buy an Ikea portable induction cooktop. I thought it is just like any other stoves that can cook any kinds of pans until l accidentally clicked on your video and learned that induction cooktop does not work on stainless steel pans or glass pans. 😯
I have a clay pot, a glass pot, and two stainless steel pans, but one of it not stick to magnet. So it means l have to buy new pans/pot if l want to use induction cooktop.
@@IWantToCookHi Chef Matt, l just watched your "l'm visiting Vietnam". I came from Vietnam. Of all the food you took in the video, which food do you like most?
@@nh866 Great question and thanks for watching. I actually plan to do an entire video on this subject! But I think of those the ostrich was the most surprisingly good. Oh, and that coffee! It's just wonderful and I hope to re-create it :)
This video is awesome! Straightforward and very helpful! Thank you for making this 😁
Thanks for checking it out! 🙏
Thanks for this video this deserves million views. I'm planning to get induction stove and this helps a lot.
So glad it helped. Thanks for watching and happy cooking!
Thanks so much - really clear and has helped me reach a decision on induction v ceramic.
I love the simple and straightforward information. I liked and subscribed!
Many thanks!! 🙏
I got mine in a silent auction at my job. So far I love it.
Loved it! Also your vintage cookware is beautiful, I might will go thrifting 😜
Thank you! And I highly encourage thrifting for cookware. You never know what you’ll score!
Important factor to consider before buying an induction stove: burner size. It matters--A LOT. On most lower end stoves the largest burner you'll get is 6". Since induction burners only heat the area of the pan making contact with the burner surface, this means trouble for 12" skillets, which typically have a 9" bottom diameter. The central area of the pan will heat nicely, but the outer area will not. If you want to get 12" burners, count on spending big bucks, like $5,000 and up.
Good tip. Thanks for sharing!
Can't you alleviate this problem by using specially designed pots and pans that help distribute the heat evenly? heard some 5 ply pans do this nicely but unsure if the theory has been tested.@masudsaleh5155
I have induction wolf 36” and none of my large pots works and the range does not work like all the videos I saw

Absolutely awesome. Very helpful. No nonsense info that answered my question.
Thank you! Glad it helped 😀
Very helpful, thank you for the info. I bought my first induction 😊
This is a great video, I sent it to several friends who had questions about the induction cookware 😊, I love my induction stove top ♥ ❤ and it's so easy to keep clean ♥ ❤
Thank you! Glad it was helpful. Happy cooking 😀
Thanks so much! Thinking about one for camping. Very informative! Thank you :)
You’re very welcome. Thanks for watching and happy cooking! 😀
I have been using induction cooking for about 9 years; I LOVE this! A Defusser plate will allow ANY cookware to work!
Thank you, and good to know on the plate. Cheers!
Thank you so much for this! I had bought new pots/pans I loved the look of them, then found out our cooktop was induction (which I was excited for)....so glad for the converter plates !!
Yay! Enjoy those new pots and pans, and enjoy the great food you make with them! :)
Do u know a a diffuser plate is reliable?
As long as the diffuser is not aluminum I would guess.
Great information! Very valuable for buying an induction stove.
Glad to hear. Thanks for watching!
Great job straight forward to the point video. I love it
Thank you! 🙏
Wow Wow Wow Wow that's amazing and very helpful. Just brought a House with an induction cooker and was stressing on buying the pans. I have lots of cast iron pots. And thank you for the magnet tip ‼️👏🏃♀️👏💃💃💃
So glad to hear it was helpful! Congrats on the new house, and happy cooking 😀
Very helpful video. I just got sorted with the mystery of the induction hob
Thank! Glad you found it helpful :)
Wow! That’s great info! Simply put and so useful! Thanks!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching 🙏
After watching many videos this one has finally helped me thank u so much sir
So glad to hear! Thank you for watching and happy cooking 😀
Vey helpful, to the point video. I bought an induction burner and had no clue why it wouldn't work . Needless to say all instructions were in another language and I ended up putting it in a closet to try again another time. Now I know what I was doing wrong. I doubt anything I used was magnetic but will know to test that out!
So glad it helped! Thanks for watching and happy cooking 🙏
Thank you for the link to induction ready cookware. I have an induction range and I have been wondering what kind of pots and pans I should be using. Thank you for solving that mystery for me.
Glad to help! Thank you for watching and happy cooking 😀
Great video and t-shirt!
Omg i didn’t know that..and suffered a lot..thanks a lot for enlighten me.❤️
I’m glad it helped! Thanks for watching and happy cooking 😀
Very helpful. Thank you
Thank you so much for teaching it so easily. I was about to spend heck lot of money on *claimed induction cookware*
Glad it was helpful! Thank you very much for watching, and happy cooking 👍
This was so helpful I had no idea some of my old pans worked especially the cast iron wow . 😮
Also liked your shirt and yes it totally is 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed the video! And yes, I'm a fan of boxer engines, aka flat engines, like the kind used in Porsches and Subarus.
This is very good explanation Thanh you
Great, concise info!
Thank you. very informative
Thank you for the information, very very informative. I am planning to buy a induction cooker👍
You’re welcome! Happy cooking 😀
Great advise . Thank you.
Thank you so much really enjoyed your video and learned new things.
Thank you! So glad to hear that 🙏
Got one today thank u so much I wouldn't know what to buy if not for this video
Glad it helped. Thanks for watching and happy cooking!
Thank u for the info ! Its a big help as i am planning to buy induction cooker
So glad it helped! Thanks for watching and happy cooking :)
Top man for examples. Helps
Yes this was very helpful. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks I really need this advice.
So glad it helped!
Thank you, I watched so many videos and I don't remember one of them talking about the magnetic test, I figure you had to buy the induction plate and then test all your pots and pans
So glad it helped. Thanks for watching and happy cooking!
Great video, very useful. Thank you.
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching 🙏
Neat thing about lodge frying pans, a pair the same size, one can function as a lid....Note that the handles can be lined up and not conflict as some brands of cast iron will. The larger Lodge fry pans with the helper handles can work well with flipping frittatas.
Fantastic point. Thanks for sharing this tip about their ingenious design.
Fantastic straightforward common sense advice
Thank you 🙏
I'm a total noob to induction, read a lot and decided it might be time to switch, so your video made me hunt down a magnet, I tested first my favorite cookware and to my surprise my prized go-to pan for cooking Indian food yielded a fail!!! It's a big stainless pan that appears to be double clad (or has a thick clad bottom). My curiosity right now is finding out what is most effective and efficient with induction stove tops.
I’ve had similar experiences, being surprised at pans of mine that do and do not work with induction. When I do use induction (a portable unit since my home stove is gas), I most often grab cast iron. All its ferrous material makes it wonderful for that. I hope you also can find cookware that works well. Thanks for watching and happy cooking!
Thanks brother for the tips.
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching 🙏

Hi from Brunei. Tq for the knowledge~~
Hello! Thanks for watching and happy cooking 😀
Thanks for the video! My first experience using the induction and it did not work out on the ceramic pan. Now I understand why
You’re very welcome! Happy cooking 😃
realy help me this video thank you very much.
Glad to hear! Thanks for watching 🙏
Just bought a home with an induction stove now I'm stuck with pots and pans that won't work on it lol thank God I had at least a cast iron skillet. I'm gonna have to get some new cookware soon 😋
Tfs.this was very helpful.
Glad to hear! Thanks for watching :)
Straight to the point and precise 👌🏻
Thank you !
You’re welcome! 🙏

Thanks for watching! 🙏
Hi thanks real good info if its induction ready or all cooker range ready does thus mean it will go in the oven, i also have pots with tempered?? Glass Lids dies that mean it can go in the oven.
It will really depend on the pan and lid. In general, I’ve found that most pans that work on induction range are also oven-safe. The thing to look out for are plastic handles - those don’t do well in an oven. As for the glass lid, that will also depend on the manufacturer, but the fact it’s tempered is a good sign. If possible, I still recommend using metal lids in the oven. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching 🙏
Alternating Supply, creates an alternating magnetic field which goes through the pan. Alternating magnetic fields through the pan would continuously change in strength. This strength change ("Change in magnetic flux"), induces an EMF on the Pan. This EMF causes current to flow, which heats the pan up.
This guy knows his physics - electromagnetism hopefully cooking too! Thanks next I'm in the mall ill bring a magnet!
Thank you and happy cooking!
It's realy helpfull.thank u
Glad it helped! 😀
Thanks 👍
I have Matfer and de Buyer carbon steel skillets - magnetic for sure but I've seen videos on YT where induction cooktops warp them permanently, so I'm leery of induction and will stick to gas for now.
Very Good
Thanks for information😊
Thanks for watching! 🙏
The question is not just is it magnetic. I boiled 2 cups of water with a magnetic induction ready pan - 13 minutes to boil. Cast iron took only 1.5 minutes. Both were magnetic.
Interesting. I wonder if the amount of ferrous material in cookware will affect energy transfer….
@@IWantToCook The amount of ferrous material definitely does influence the performance. I have a pan that is magnetic, but less so than cast iron, and it works, but it makes a buzzing noise when on the burner which often indicates a low iron content, and it does not heat up very quickly.
@@macrumpton Good to know! Thanks.
There is little question that quantity of ferrous material in the base of the pan has an effect. I have a T-Fal nonstick skillet that is basically aluminum, but has a ferrous disk molded into the base. It works on our GE Profile induction range, but only on the small coils, and does not heat up nearly as quickly as a Cuisinart saucepan or a small Circulon nonstick skillet. A magnet will stick to all of these, but there is a clear difference in performance.
I have an induction hob and tried my thinnish Ikea pan to cook hard boiled eggs, after it started to boil I reduced the heat to a slow boil but it would only work in pulses - on/off no perceivable boiling then a 5 second burst when it would boil madly and splash water onto the hob. It didn't matter which heat level I chose.
I went and bought a heavy bottom pan from Soltam, it was quite expensive but the difference was vast - total control over the heat range, no more pulsing and splashing
Thought I might buy a portable induction cooker for travel. I really want to sample some instant ramen in Japan & other Asian countries.
Is it a good idea to use an induction cooker in a hotel room?
Well I’d wager it’s better than a butane stove (no potentially harmful fumes). If you can get adequate ventilation, you’re likely good to go (though whether you tell the hotel staff is up to you). One other thought: if you only need to boil water/make ramen, an electric kettle could also suit your needs. PS, Japan is one of my favorite places to visit.
Thanks a lot, brother 🙏🙏👍
My pleasure! Thanks for watching.
Thanks a lot.
You’re welcome! 😀
That's really good stuff...I'm gonna need to source new pans after realizing that the non ferrous ones I just bought don't work on the induction stove😢😢
The explanation is top notch, wish you can also make a video explaining how to use the induction stove/cooker 👍👍
Thanks, and I’ll file away that request for a future video. Cheers!
Thanks for the video. Does the magnet have to have a very tight bond, or can it be a weak bond and the pan still cook well?
Good question. I’m not totally sure, but if I were to speculate, I’d say a weak bond would indicate less ferrous material in the pan. That, in turn, might mean less efficient heating. If you have the choice, go with a pan in which the magnetic bonds tight.
okay so I think I know the answer. So basically the pot isn’t actually a magnet, it just reacts to the magnet. The strength of the bond is decided by the magnet itself. However there aren’t actually magnets in your induction hob. It is made up of spirals wich creates a magnetic field because electricity is pumped through it. That magnetic field reaches through the glass barrier of the hob and into the pot where it makes the electrons in the pot wiggle a bunch(because the direction in wich electricity is pumped through alternates like 20000 in a second. That is what is called current.)wich creates kinetic energy (heat) and that heat can be used for cooking.
Also if this isn’t an understandable answer I‘m sorry. English isn’t my first language
Hi there, this was a great video but I am a little confused. Some people say that the entire pot needs to be magnetic in order to work well with induction. I have a number of beautiful Scanpan pots and some other pans where the magnet sticks really well to the bottom of the pot but not at all to the sides. My cast iron cookware is all fine, or course, and the magnet sticks to the entire surface. Will these pots that don't have magnetic sides still work efficiently?
Yes, they should be fine. The bottom of the pan is really what’s being heated, and while magnetic sides might better convey thermal distribution, heating just the bottom is the important part. That is also where the food is resting, and heat by nature rises so rest assured between that and a good stir of what your cooking (if applicable), you should be good to go. Thanks for watching and happy cooking!

Thank you soo much for this i think my pot doesn't work with the induction hob because i have been trying to cook something since i moved in. Thanks you for yoye video. It was quite helpful
So happy to hear it helped! Thank you for watching and happy cooking 🙏
Is it helpful to have a smooth bottom pan? Always wondered if that mattered on both glass top ranges and induction.
Smooth is good, but I think the bigger issue is that it's perfectly flat, so as to make the most surface contact with the burner. Warped pans won't heat as evenly due to this. Ask me how I know, lol.
Super!!!
Thanks so much for this information. Now I can go out and buy magnetic pots and pans for my new induction stove.
You're so welcome! Thanks for watching and happy cooking :)
