No, Mym’s big pan did not work. But I saw the pan I had bought, to have something to cook in until my furniture etc arrived and tried that. It worked!

My 8L preserving pan and the pressure canner won’t work—preserving pan has a massive copper disc in the base most likely and the pressure canner is aluminium.

Still, 2 cast iron + porcelain pans will work as will the ss saucepan I bought so no hassles with day to day stuff and my cast iron frypans work. So can muddle along without having to buy more pans and enjoying the superfast heating of the induction plate.

Yeah, I love my induction cooker.

Heated up some frozen soup last night after I had made croutons in an induction-compatible small frypan. The soup got heated up in a cast iron + porcelain small saucepan, a Le Creuset I got with the small braiser for about $250 or so. Bargain now I have the induction cooker saving $$$ on electric bills.

Mine is not good for long simmering since it switches between boiling and not. However, for long simmering no real difference with the electric cook top anyway.
