Induction and high-end pans (lemmy.wtf)

So after some research I splurged for a Demeyere Proline 7-ply frying pan. Unfortunately, upon trying it with my induction stove it gave an error message saying that the pan was incompatible. My internet research tells me that it could be due to the copper core of the Demeyre causing a high current draw. Another reason could be that the pan is too large (28cm), but I doubt that.

I guess I will have to try another pan to see if it works. I don't know what to look for though in terms of more compatibility though.

I was looking forward to a buy-it-for-life stainless steel pan. I can also replace the IKEA Folklig induction top with something better, but obviously not my first choice.

Any general tips would be appreciated :-)

If you can test them in person, a magnet on the underside should stick to a pan that will work with induction ranges. That’s how we figured out what pans to keep when we switched to an induction range earlier this year.

I think a cast iron pan will also work, but not entirely sure. We ended up picking a Rachel Ray set we found, so not high end but this might give you some ideas for materials to search for that will be induction ready.
