How Does Induction Work?
Induction technology uses magnetic coils to directly heat your pots and pans. When active, the coils create a magnetic field that
will heat the metal of the cooking vessel itself.
What are the Benefits of Cooking With an Induction Cooktop?
• Fast:
Digital controls make this technology fast and precise. Raising temperature control is immediate, and predictable. Because
of this, the Oliso
®
SmartHub™ will reach the set temperature in half the time it takes competing units, and maintain that temperature
precisely.
• Energy Efficient:
Because energy is focused on heating the pan itself, there is little wasted energy.
• Even heat distribution:
The extra thick conductive layer on the underside of the pan helps to evenly disperse the rapid heat. As
heat is produced on the bottom of the water bath, natural convection currents cause the hot water to rise and create an even bath
temperature.
• Easy cleanup:
Smooth glass surfaces make spills easy to clean.
What Type of Cookware Can I Use on Induction?
The simple step to determine if your pan is suitable for induction cooking is to use a common refrigerator magnet, and see if it sticks
to the bottom of your pan. Induction technology uses magnetic principles to detect and heat the pan, so suitable cookware must
be ferrous (iron based or magnetic).
*Additional note: Bottom of cookware must be flat and be at least 9cm in diameter to be properly detected.
Warped cookware will not heat evenly.

look for the induction ready
symbol on your cookware
*If a magnet will
stick to your cookware,
it should be compatible!
