Induction cooking is known for its efficiency, precision, and speed. Unlike gas or electric stoves, induction cooktops use electromagnetic fields to heat cookware directly, making the process faster and safer. However, not all cookware is compatible with induction cooktops. In this blog, we’ll discuss what cookware works with induction cooktops and how you can make the most of your induction-compatible cookware.
-
Magnetic Stainless-Steel Cookware
Magnetic stainless-steel cookware is one of the top choices for induction cooktops. Not all stainless-steel works, but those with a magnetic layer at the base are suitable. To test if your cookware is induction-friendly, simply place a magnet at the bottom—if it sticks, it's compatible.
-
Cast Iron Cookware
Cast iron cookware is ideal for induction cooking because of its magnetic properties. It retains heat exceptionally well, making it great for slow-cooked dishes and high-heat frying. However, cast iron can be heavy and may scratch the cooktop surface. The Wipro Induction Cooktop’s crystal glass plate not only adds a modern look to your kitchen but also ensures durability and easy cleaning. To avoid potential scratches, make sure the bottom of your cast iron cookware is smooth.
-
Carbon Steel Cookware
Carbon steel cookware is another excellent choice for induction cooktops. Similar to cast iron but lighter, carbon steel pans heat quickly and are perfect for frying, searing, and browning. Its magnetic base makes it induction-friendly. Pair your carbon steel cookware with the Wipro 2000-Watt Induction Cooktop for optimal results. The precision temperature control lets you adjust heat precisely to avoid burning or overcooking, ensuring a flawless cooking experience every time.

Enamel-Coated Cast Iron
Enamel-coated cast iron cookware combines the heat retention of traditional cast iron with a non-reactive, smooth surface. It is magnetic and works seamlessly with induction cooktops. The enamel coating prevents rusting and eliminates the need for seasoning, making it easier to maintain than regular cast iron. This type of cookware is ideal for slow-cooking recipes like stews and casseroles, as it distributes heat evenly across the surface. Plus, the vibrant enamel finish adds a pop of colour to your kitchen, enhancing both style and functionality.

Multi-Layer Stainless Steel with Magnetic Base
Some of the best pots and pans for induction cooktops feature a multi-layered design. These pans are often made with an aluminium or copper core, sandwiched between magnetic stainless-steel layers, offering excellent heat conductivity and even cooking. The Wipro 2000-Watt Induction Cooktop is perfect for multi-layered cookware. Its smart sensor touch control allows you to precisely adjust the heat, ensuring even cooking without any hot spots. Whether you're boiling, sautéing, or frying, this cooktop ensures perfect results every time.
-
Induction-Ready Aluminium Cookware (with Magnetic Base)
Standard aluminium cookware doesn’t work with induction cooktops unless it has a magnetic base. However, many manufacturers now produce induction-ready aluminium cookware, which is lightweight, quick to heat, and perfect for everyday use. The Wipro Induction Cooktop allows you to take full advantage of the quick heating properties of aluminium cookware. Its precision temperature control ensures that your food is cooked evenly without overheating, making it ideal for tasks like simmering sauces or frying vegetables.
-
Copper Cookware (with Magnetic Bottom Layer)
Copper cookware is prized for its excellent heat conductivity but isn’t naturally compatible with induction. However, many modern copper cookware sets now include a magnetic base, making them suitable for induction cooktops.
-
Induction-Compatible Non-Stick Cookware
Non-stick pans are essential for quick and easy cooking, but not all non-stick cookware works on induction cooktops. Look for induction-compatible non-stick cookware with a magnetic base to enjoy the convenience of non-stick cooking on your induction stove.
Check for the Induction-Compatible Symbol:
When buying cookware, always check for the induction-compatible symbol at the base. This ensures that the cookware will work with induction cooktops. The Wipro 2000-Watt Induction Cooktop is compatible with a wide range of induction cookware and offers advanced features like smart sensor touch control and precision temperature settings.
Choosing the right induction-compatible cookware is essential for maximising the performance of your induction cooktop. From magnetic stainless steel to induction-ready aluminium, plenty of options are available for cookware for induction stoves.
