Be careful - you'll use all your redundancy up at once

Already have.



The only type you can be sure does work is cast iron, others either
have to say or you have to try.
Don't bother trying aluminium ones as they don't work.
Anything with a base welded on may or may not work.


Aha - been doing some emergency reading up, have you?

Why would I need to? There is nothing difficult to understand about
induction hobs.

Apart from the fact that they need a magnetic pan.

Just because you don't understand things doesn't mean others don't.

It isn't Geoff who admitted in public that he did not know how to work out
if a pan is magnetic or not.

Yes there are lots of ways to see if they are made from a magnetic material,
however if you have the induction ring plugged in the easiest way is to put
it on the ring and see if it works.
I could have taken a magnet off the alarm system or spent ages trying to
find my magnetic retriever tool from wherever i left it in the shed a couple
of years ago. I could even have dismantled a speaker to find a magnet but
its really pointless.

Of course being magnetic doesn't actually mean it will work on an induction
hob but I wouldn't expect you to know that.
