Induction Skillets – Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a skillet “induction-compatible”?
An induction-compatible skillet has a magnetic base, usually made from stainless steel or cast iron, that works with induction cooktops. When placed on the cooktop, the magnetic field heats the pan directly — not the surface — giving you faster and more energy-efficient cooking.
How can I tell if my skillet will work on an induction cooktop?
An easy test is to place a magnet on the bottom of your skillet. If it sticks firmly, it’s induction-ready. If it doesn’t, the pan likely won’t heat up properly on an induction surface.
Are induction skillets safe for everyday use?
Yes — in fact, they’re one of the safest cookware options available. The cooktop only heats the pan, not the glass surface, reducing the risk of burns or fire. They’re also energy-efficient and cool down quickly once you remove the pan.
What’s the best material for an induction skillet?
For everyday New Zealand kitchens, stainless steel and cast iron are top choices. Stainless steel offers durability and a sleek look, while cast iron retains heat beautifully for searing and slow cooking. Many modern skillets combine both for the best performance.
Can I use an induction skillet on a gas or electric stove too?
Absolutely. Most induction skillets are multi-surface friendly, so you can use them on gas, ceramic, or electric cooktops as well. It’s great for households with more than one type of stove or for when you move homes.
Do induction skillets need special care or cleaning?
No special tools needed — just gentle care. Use soft sponges and mild dish soap. Avoid metal scrubbers that could scratch the surface. For cast iron skillets, always dry them well and apply a light coat of oil to prevent rust. Taking these steps helps your pan last for years.
Why are induction skillets more expensive than regular pans?
Induction skillets use high-grade magnetic metals and multi-layer construction to deliver even heat and long-lasting durability. While the upfront cost is a bit higher, they’re built to perform better and save energy — a smart long-term investment.
What size induction skillet should I buy?
For everyday cooking, a 26–28 cm skillet is the most versatile. Smaller pans (20–24 cm) are great for eggs or small portions, while larger ones (30 cm +) are ideal for family meals or steaks. Consider how many people you cook for and what you make most often.
Can I use metal utensils with my induction skillet?
It depends on the surface. Stainless steel skillets can handle metal utensils, but for non-stick induction skillets, it’s best to use silicone or wooden utensils to protect the coating.
Why choose an induction skillet from The Living Styles?
