Topic: induction cooker tips required.

ive cooked on an induction hob for the last 4 years without any problem. I can even cook Chinese stuff perfectly. The secret lies in the pan. My missus bought me a le cruset cast iron wok. It can take 5 or so minutes to get up to temp, but once its there; theres no prob

Agreed le cruset demands a high price these days, I have a few saucepans but find it to heavy!
I will sell mine soon to fund a lighter set

We've got enough to open a shop. We have the large deep and small fry pan and I have to say they are excellent although I don't do my curry in them.

I did notice when I was cooking at my sons induction kitchen, all their pans including Le Creuset
were discoloured in the centre with use, not sure if this is a normal side effect of induction cooking.
Has anyone experienced this.

Davey, you can buy an interface disc for induction cooking, then you can use any pan, including Ally.

Hi CT   
Le Cruset Pans do discolour. Stainless no prob.

My hob came with a warning sticker that advised not to keep empty pan on full power for too long otherwise it may melt lol
