“DOES THIS COOKTOP ONLY USES STEEL OR IRON POTS AND PANS?”
Answer This Question

Basically, yes. Cookware needs to be able to respond to a magnetic field. Cast iron and plain steel work well. Aluminum doesn’t work at all. Stainless steel is variable. If a magnet sticks to a lt, it will work. Most common stainless steel won’t. There are diffusers that can be placed between the cooktop and a pot to heat but they are not ideal. They do not work at high heat and can cause pitting of the cooktop.

We found that this model has an induction cooktop that requires ferrous cookware. We suggest using pots and pans made of magnetic stainless steel, enamel coated cast iron, enameled steel or combinations of these materials. We also recommend pots and pans with heavier bottoms for heat distribution and even cooking results. For more information on appropriate cookware, use the following link: (Page 10) https://files.bbystatic.com/jLw7yhHvW5CNQf7SaksYLg%3D%3D/d11991d7-55ea-464c-b58e-4eda2f72db99.pdf Thank you for choosing GE Appliances. We hope this information is helpful. If there are any more questions, feel free to ask us. Have a wonderful day! -Sylvia@GEA
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The pot or pan bottom has to be iron or iron-based. You may test it with magnet. The cookware should say induction ready.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.On the stove Top yes. The oven is as any other stove, I love it plus I got all new pots and pans! Anything that a magnet will stick to.
