Ceramic Pot On A Burner

An induction burner uses electromagnetic energy to directly heat your pots and pans.

Ceramic pot on a burner.

Set the burner to medium heat. Place the pot on the stove. Add two tablespoons of baking soda and stir with a wooden spoon. You can use the side burner with pots and pans.

Then pour in one quart of water. Pick a large enough burner and put the pot on the stove. I love that side element searing grill compared to my old grill which had the standard side burner. You are supposed to use the lower one grate close to ceramic element with pots and pans and the higher standoff when searing meats.

Once a burner is turned on an electric current runs through the coil and generates a fluctuating magnetic field but no heat on the burner itself. Turn on the heat. If the magnet clings to the underside the cookware will work on an induction cooktop. If the magnet grabs the pan softly you may not have good success with it on your cooktop.

Induction burners feature a ceramic plate with an electromagnetic coil beneath. Wait for those telltale bubbles and for the water to begin boiling. Never slide or scoot the pan or pot over the glass stove top or the ceramic cookware will scratch the surface ceramic cookware with grooves or textured bottoms may not cook evenly on glass topped stove tops because the burner requires direct glass to pan bottom contact to evenly distribute heat for cooking.
