Start with the equipment you have

A useful pan fits the hob, the amount of food and the cooking method. Check the manufacturer’s instructions for heat settings, induction compatibility and whether its handle and lid can go in an oven.

Induction can heat a suitable pan quickly. Its glass surface can then become hot from the pan, so treat it as a burn risk even though the heating mechanism differs from a conventional electric ring.
