Q.
The question remains - is this steamer definitely usable on an induction hob ?
11 April 2011
by
Frustrated
Answer(s)
A.
the other reply is not correct, stainless steel with copper encapsulated bottoms Do NOT WORK.. you can tell if will work by taking a small magnet[ [a fridge magnet will do} with you to the store and ask to veiw products, if magnet sticks to bottom of pan it will work on induction. Try to use smaller dia pans that fit markings on your hob ,abit over is ok but not toomuch as you lose energy, and may interfere with touch controls etc., I have bought similar items from argos ,though not listed as suitable ,have worked perfectly. DON'T Forget Take a magnet. regards from cornwall.chris.

Hi, thank you for your question.

I have looked into this and have found that you can use stainless steel products on induction hobs. The steamer is made from stainless so you can use it on an induction hob.

Thank you for using Question & Answer.

Please clarify that this product is suitable for an INDUCTION HOB

Answer(s)
A.
No, it is only recommends that the pot should only be used in the slow cooker plus the outer bottom is quite rough so it will more than likely damage your induction hob.
