Infrared Ceramic Cooker - Which Cookware are Suitable?

There was a time when only metal cookware could be used on cooking ranges and cooktops. No other cookware were suitable and even warming up leftovers required them to be transferred to a metal pan before being heated. This was a major limitation for cooks as they needed to buy metal cookware just for this purpose. Thanks to the introduction of infrared ceramic hob, people can now use anything from glass, redware, ceramic to metal cookware to cook and heat up food.

Types of Cookware

Due to the flame on gas stoves, only metal, or in some cases redware pans, can be used on gas cooktops. Ceramic hobs have a toughened glass surface with the heating element installed below the glass surface. This flame-less method allows the flexibility of using various types of cookware, including glass (good for heating up leftovers in plates and bowls), redware and ceramics.

You can use just about any pan that you have in your house - so no need to go out and buy a new set of pans just because you're switching to the infrared ceramic cooktop.

Cookware with a Flat Base

Cookwares that have a flat base can be used on a ceramic hob. This is because the toughened glass surface on an infrared cooktop is flat, so to make sure the cooking vessels are steady when placed, they too need to have a flat base.

Pans that do not have a completely flat surface should be checked for stability by placing them onto the surface when they are empty. This will avoid any food being wasted if a cookware does topple off the surface.

Weight of Cookware

The surface of a ceramic hob consists of glass; this worries many people that they may crack the surface by placing heavy cookware on top of them. There is no need to worry at all, the surface is designed to be extremely tough and can support heavy pans quite easily.

The surface of a ceramic hob is made up of reinforced ceramic-glass. Care should be taken not to slide cookware on the ceramic hob, as this can scratch the surface, rather, they should be lifted straight up.

An electric ceramic cooktop is far sturdier than it looks. They heat up the cookware using infrared radiation, and this is why they are able to heat up many types of cookware, including glass and redware. These types of pots and pans cannot be used on gas stoves due to the flames.
