A:Answer Hi MBH! Yes, the Frigidaire Gallery 6.2 Cu. Ft. Slide-In Electric Induction Range is compatible with various types of cookware, provided they meet specific criteria.
Induction cooktops, including this Frigidaire model, require cookware made from magnetic materials. This is because induction cooking uses magnetic fields to generate heat directly in the cookware. To determine if your cookware is induction-compatible, perform the magnet test:
- Stainless Steel: Many stainless steel pots and pans are suitable for induction cooking, but not all are magnetic. Use the magnet test to confirm. Note that some stainless steel cookware may have uneven heating.
- Cast Iron: Ideal for induction cooking due to its excellent heat retention. Ensure the base is smooth to prevent scratching the cooktop.
- Porcelain-Enamel on Metal: This cookware works on induction cooktops if the underlying metal is magnetic. The porcelain enamel coating should be smooth to avoid damaging the cooktop. - Maico
