Frying pans are essential when preparing a wide variety of dishes. The quality of food is often directly related to the quality of the utensils used, so choosing the right utensils is important. In stores there are many pans of different sizes and purposes, made of different materials, with different non-stick coatings. When buying, it is also important to consider which stove the cooking will take place on. For induction, it is necessary to select special pans, because they have their own characteristics. Such dishes have ferromagnetic properties (attracted to the magnet), which activates the operation of the induction-type stove.

Our experts reviewed the products of the induction hob companies and selected the top 6 models to be included in this ranking.

How to choose a frying pan for an induction hob

1. Material. Frying pans for induction systems are made of stainless steel, aluminum, cast iron, copper. Stainless steel can withstand elevated temperatures, but without a special coating, food will definitely stick to the surface. Aluminum is strong and lightweight, so pans made of it weigh little. Copper conducts heat well, evenly heating food. Cast iron keeps food warm for a long time. In addition, this material is durable, practical and easy to clean.
2. Coating. It depends on the coating whether the food will burn. The ceramic non-stick coating is especially popular for its durability. Diamond is considered one of the best because it distributes heat evenly and does not form hot spots. But pans with such a coating are very expensive and not everyone can afford to buy them. The titanium non-stick is the best choice for everyday tasks. Protects food from burning, does not wear off for a long time, allows the use of metal shovels, spoons.
3. The size. The standard diameter for frying pans for a family of 2-4 people will be 25-30 cm. The height of the walls should be chosen based on what kind of dishes you plan to cook. Low walls are suitable for pancakes, pancakes, cutlets, and high walls for large steaks, frying servings of spaghetti, vegetables.
4. Bottom. It should be made of several layers in order to heat better and faster, reducing the risk of food burning.
5. A pen. Bakelite ones are considered the best because they stay cold throughout the entire cooking. Removable handles are convenient for those who use the pan not only on the stove, but also in the oven.
6. Appointment. Grill pans allow you to cook vegetables, meat, fish, poultry, frying food until golden brown. Pancakes are specially designed for making delicious pancakes. May have indentations to make pancakes of different sizes. Wok pans differ in wall height and conical shape. They fry food more evenly and cook faster than traditional models.
