Induction hob pots and pans

[Gooose]

I’ll be moving into my refurbed house soon that has an induction hob, from what I read on here the quality of pots and pans needed is quite important so does anybody want to guide me in the right direction? I’ll be needing the whole shebang, cz my current set is a bit crap!

Budget ?

Le Creuset
Ikea

I have a mixture of all sorts. I've found the ones that heat up the quickest are the cast iron sort (eg le creuset) and the cheaper, lighter uncoated stainless steel ones.

I have some more expensive cast aluminium ones with a laminated steel base (I think) and they work fine, and are very easy to clean, but they do not get as hot or hot as quickly as the full stainless/cast iron ones.

Sounds like ProCook look okay.....we have some knackered older Denby ones now, might be replacing them soon.....

They should be marked with the type of power sources that they work with. On the package not the pan.

I’m not sure of the budget really, I haven’t bought pots and pans for so long I haven’t a clue how much they cost!

I do visit tkmax quite often and see so many brands, I did think I could get a bargain for some quality stuff if I know what to look out for!

Whatever you end up getting, I'd add a 12" cast iron skillet to it.
I've got some nice pans for my induction hob, but my ultra cheap cast iron skillet gets the most use, quite frankly. Superb for steaks and searing, stir fry, etc.
They take a little more care, but it's not hard and they'll literally last for ever.

Take a magnet to TK Max with you. If the pan is magnetic, then it'll work.
