Wiring Induction Hob and Electric Oven

[LiamPope]

Isn't most SS cookware made from austenitic steel? Mine is.

I've also got a set of saucepans made from hard-anodised aluminium, and some ovenware, and I've recently bought a couple of nice frying pans in aluminium with a ceramic non-stick coating.

All I'm saying is that I'd hate to be restricted in what I could buy because it wouldn't work on my hob...

Then I suggest you dont go out and buy an induction hob, then!


I dont want one either.

noo, of course not... because copper doesn't turn magnetism to electricity and visa versa does it ( chough... transformer windings... cough )

Oh - you mean those things with iron cores.

Which don't get hot enough to cook food.

can't beat cast iron for cooking with..

Got that too, including a lovely ridged griddle pan.

I wonder what heavy cast iron pans do to the surface of an induction hob?

wasn't commenting on that BAS.. you said that the copper wouldn't get a magnetic field generated in it.. when quite clearly it will..

In a transformer, its the iron core that becomes magnetised. The windings around it can be made from anything.

ok, motor windings then?
